Trump signed into law the Department of Energy (DOE) Research and Innovation Act (Public Law 115-246), which sets Congressional\u00a0research\u00a0priorities for DOE’s Office of Science for the first time in nearly a decade. The new law provides guidance across all six programs in the Office, enshrining key activities into law while directing new research activity as well. The Act formally authorizes Energy Frontier Research Centers and Energy Innovation Hubs for the first time, creates both solar fuels and energy storage cross-program initiatives, and mandates research on the biological impacts of radiation in\u00a0small quantities.<\/p>\n Read the bill<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Are you searching for new funding opportunities in the social sciences?
