DOE provides several billion dollars per year in grants to foster energy innovations from early stage promise up to the threshold of commercialization, followed by its loan guarantee program that provides a "bridge to bankability" to deploy first-of-a-kind projects across the nation.
Funding for energy projects primarily comes from six DOE offices:
Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation (CMEI)
Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO), a part of EERE
Office of Electricity (OE)
Office of Science (OS)
Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office (HGEO), and
Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E)
Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) are issued by these offices on a regular basis. The preponderance of these grants come from EERE. To view current grants, including eligibility requirements, funding levels, and due dates for concept papers and applications, click here:
Notices of Funding Opportunities (NOFOs), formerly known as Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs), are issued by these offices on a regular basis. A large number of these grants have traditionally come from CMEI (formerly the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, or EERE), although many fewer FOAs have been listed for 2026.

Here are descriptions of the other primary resources for viewing grant opportunities:
On the "Search funding opportunities" page, click "Filters" next to the "Search" bar. This will open an menu on the right side of the page where you can select the "Opportunity Status," type of "Funding Instrument," the "Eligibility" requirements, the "Agency" and offices within each agency, the "Closing Date," and the "Cost Share" requirements on which you wish to search, then click "View Results."
In the list that appears, you can scroll down the list until you find a funding opportunity of interest. Clicking on the opportunity name will open up a page with full details on the funding opportunity, including a link to download the full funding opportunity announcement and details on how to apply.
The DOE's Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) issues periodic funding announcements that are focused on overcoming barriers around a specific energy area. ARPA-E also issues "Open" FOAs to attract proposals for innovative projects and technologies that offer a high potential for addressing the nation's energy-related issues. Its chart is organized in the same manner as the EERE chart.
The Office of Science has an annual solicitation that opens at the beginning of each federal fiscal year (October 1) and closes at the end of each fiscal year (September 30). It also may issue periodic funding opportunities at other times during the year, which will be noticed on Grants.gov.
Recent NOFOs that have been issued by the Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Energy Office, Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation, and Electricity Office are listed on the National Energy Technology Laboratory's (NETL's) Solicitations and Funding Opportunities page:
