These selections bring the Phase II total to 14 projects, alongside six new Phase I awards supplementing an earlier funding round announced in July. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is the Genesis Mission and how much funding did the Department of Energy just announce for it? The Department of Energy announced $159 million for 12 new Phase II Genesis Mission project awards, a federal initiative using AI and advanced computing to accelerate scientific research. The awards bring the mission's Phase II project total to 14, alongside six additional Phase I awards. Projects span quantum computing, fusion energy, geothermal energy, biotechnology, and particle physics, led by institutions like Harvard, MIT, Oak Ridge, and Commonwealth Fusion Systems. _Researchers tracking government AI-for-science funding can follow policy and project updates on daily.dev._ ### Which institutions are leading Genesis Mission quantum computing projects at the Department of Energy? Harvard University leads the Application-Aware Error Correcting Codesign for Scientific Quantum Computing (ASQC) project, combining AI with advanced quantum hardware to address quantum error correction. Oak Ridge National Laboratory leads a separate project developing a physics-informed AI framework to design new quantum magnets for applications in quantum sensing and low-power electronics. _Developers following quantum computing research milestones can keep up with project news on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Genesis Open Models](https://daily.dev/posts/genesis-open-models-qkhtfua7x) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google commits $40M to the Genesis Mission](https://daily.dev/posts/google-commits-40m-to-the-genesis-mission-hizxmy4fu) · Google Cloud · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Google DeepMind & DOE Partner on Genesis: AI for Science](https://daily.dev/posts/google-deepmind-doe-partner-on-genesis-ai-for-science-uy9lvpota) · DeepMind · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#quantum-computing](https://daily.dev/tags/quantum-computing) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/energy-department-announces-new-genesis-mission-awards-to-accelerate-scientific-capability-dzwwefnfn) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Energy Department Announces New Genesis Mission Awards to Accelerate Scientific Capability","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/energy-department-announces-new-genesis-mission-awards-to-accelerate-scientific-capability-dzwwefnfn","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/energy-department-announces-new-genesis-mission-awards-to-accelerate-scientific-capability-dzwwefnfn"},"datePublished":"2026-10-08T15:42:01.780Z","dateModified":"2026-10-08T18:27:49.545Z","description":"The U.S. Department of Energy announced $159 million for 12 new Phase II Genesis Mission project awards, applying AI and advanced computing to accelerate...","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/25d707509fc4bfb54d4d81ee48616cc0?_a=AQAEuop","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto/v1/posts/25d707509fc4bfb54d4d81ee48616cc0?_a=AQAEuop","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"The Quantum Insider","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"The Quantum Insider","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/t_logo,f_auto/v1/logos/7b14a6b34c1b464c9e8a88d9a0dac951","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/energy-department-announces-new-genesis-mission-awards-to-accelerate-scientific-capability-dzwwefnfn","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"quantum-computing","timeRequired":"PT4M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"The Quantum Insider","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/thequantuminsider"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Energy Department Announces New Genesis Mission Awards to Accelerate Scientific Capability"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/energy-department-announces-new-genesis-mission-awards-to-accelerate-scientific-capability-dzwwefnfn#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the Genesis Mission and how much funding did the Department of Energy just announce for it?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The Department of Energy announced $159 million for 12 new Phase II Genesis Mission project awards, a federal initiative using AI and advanced computing to accelerate scientific research.
