Trump Administration Announces More Than $5 Billion for the Genesis Mission, a National Mission on AI for Science
The White House
July 22, 2026
WASHINGTON, DC — Today, Assistant to the President and Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Michael Kratsios unveiled more than $5 billion in Federal commitments expanding the Genesis Mission alongside new mission-driven National Science and Technology Challenges. Tune in to the Genesis Mission 2026 Summit live on July 22, 2026 at 9:00am ET.
Launched by President Trump’s Executive Order in November 2025 and led by the White House, the Genesis Mission is a national effort to harness AI for science. What began at the Department of Energy (DOE) is now a whole-of-government initiative: More than 15 Federal agencies will contribute research awards, funding opportunities, specialized scientific datasets, and research facilities to the National Science and Technology Challenges. These agencies will leverage the DOE-built American Science and Security Platform, which provides shared infrastructure that connects researchers with data, compute, and AI tools to accelerate scientific discovery.
“America’s greatest scientific achievements have been born of national mobilizations paired with the construction of new institutions. The Genesis Mission is the next chapter in that tradition, as we work together to harness AI for scientific discovery at a scale no one else on the planet can match,” said Director Kratsios.
“America will lead the next generation of medical discovery by harnessing the power of artificial intelligence,” said Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert Kennedy. “We are mobilizing the nation’s best researchers to uncover the root causes of chronic disease, accelerate lifesaving breakthroughs, and help Make America Healthy Again.”
“Patients living with cancer, chronic disease, and rare conditions cannot afford to wait decades for scientific discoveries to reach them,” said National Institutes of Health Director Dr. Jay Bhattacharya. “Through the Bio Genesis Mission, we are harnessing artificial intelligence and advanced computing to help researchers uncover the root causes of disease, accelerate the development of new treatments, and build a biomedical research ecosystem that delivers lifesaving innovations to patients faster, while upholding the rigorous scientific standards and responsible stewardship that earn the public’s trust.”
“America has no shortage of bold ideas or talented scientists, and the response to the Genesis Mission proves that,” said U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright . “The 278 projects selected today represent the very best of our nation’s scientific enterprise. The remarkable number of high-quality proposals we received shows that America’s innovation pipeline is strong, and it points to even greater opportunities for future investment and continued expansion of the Genesis Mission portfolio.”
“The extraordinary response to this Genesis Mission application process demonstrates that America’s scientific community is ready to reimagine how discovery happens,” said U.S. Department of Energy Under Secretary Dr. Darío Gil . “Through the Genesis Mission, we are bringing together the nation’s leading researchers, institutions, and technology partners to build the next generation of scientific capability. We look forward to seeing these teams demonstrate new research workflows that accelerate discovery and reveal what is possible when AI and science advance together.”
“We’re leveraging cutting-edge technologies to deliver a better travel experience for American families and stronger supply chains for businesses,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy . “This is another tool we can use to usher in a Golden Age of Transportation—and it’s all thanks to President Trump’s leadership.”
“President Trump has made clear that America must lead the world in artificial intelligence, scientific innovation and energy production," said Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum . "The Department of the Interior is providing the scientific foundation that makes that leadership possible. From mapping critical mineral resources and improving water forecasting to advancing AI-enabled geologic research and biological science, our world-class scientists and data systems are helping ensure the United States has the knowledge, resources and infrastructure needed to win...
