Awards by Science Field
By Performer Type
Every award is an AI/ML project. The dimension that matters is which science domain the AI is applied to.

Science field × performer type
Key findings
- Broad, not concentrated: the largest science field holds only ~14%; ten fields each hold at least 5%.
- Physical-science core (Materials, HEP/Nuclear, Quantum, Fusion) makes up roughly 38% of the portfolio.
- Critical Minerals & Rare Earths stands out as a notably specific policy priority.
- Labs punch above their headcount: ~15 DOE labs took ~31% of awards (avg ~6 each) vs. ~120 universities (avg ~1 each).
- Performer type tracks the science: universities dominate discovery domains (HEP/Nuclear, Biology, Quantum); labs lead mission-operational domains (Earth/Climate, Nuclear Fuel-Cycle, Subsurface, Fusion). Industry clusters in Materials/Manufacturing and Fusion — the commercialization-adjacent work.
- Geography mirrors the national-lab footprint: CA, WA, NM, TN, IL, CO lead, layered on top of coastal research universities. 45 states represented in total.
