# DOE Opens $400M FY 2027 Research Funding Call

DOE’s Office of Science announced an FY 2027 Notice of Funding Opportunity offering up to $400 million for foundational research across seven science program areas, including fusion energy, high-energy physics, and advanced scientific computing. The annual Open Call supports basic research and complements narrower, topic-specific solicitations. The signals do not provide eligibility rules, application deadlines, or award terms; interested institutions and prospective collaborators should consult the official NOFO for those details.

- The opportunity is a funding call, not a specific contract award; research institutions and potential collaborators should review the NOFO to determine eligibility and applicable application requirements.
- The broad program scope may be relevant to organizations working in the listed research areas, including teams with capabilities in fusion energy, high-energy physics, and advanced scientific computing.
- Because the Open Call complements narrower solicitations, applicants can assess whether their proposed research fits this broad opportunity or a more topic-specific DOE funding call.
