Lewis-Burke has provided an update report on Department of Energy (DOE) nominations for key leadership positions, guidance and executive orders impacting DOE operations and future priorities, and $500 million in funding opportunities, such as the Early Career Research Program, plasma science, AI and advanced computing, vehicle technologies, bioenergy, grid resiliency and geothermal energy. While proposals for these new funding calls will be reviewed by a new DOE leadership team, most of these are aligned with Trump Administration priorities, are annual, non-controversial solicitations, and/or were congressionally directed and appropriated, thus likely to be awarded.
