UW researchers lead and support new ‘AI-for-Science’ Genesis Mission awards

## UW Researchers Spearhead National AI-for-Science Initiative University of Washington researchers are at the forefront of a groundbreaking national effort to revolutionize scientific discovery. Leading and collaborating on four projects, they are key players in the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Genesis Mission, a Phase 1 initiative designed to build a robust “AI-for-Science” ecosystem. This ambitious program aims to dramatically accelerate breakthroughs across critical fields including energy, discovery science, and national security. The Genesis Mission prioritizes a tiered approach to AI integration. **Ranked by impact potential**, these initial projects will focus on: 1) developing foundational AI tools tailored for scientific workflows, 2) applying these tools to specific scientific challenges, 3) building a collaborative community to share knowledge and resources, and 4) establishing a sustainable infrastructure for continued AI-driven research. UW’s involvement underscores the university's commitment to innovation and its leadership in applying cutting-edge technology to address complex global challenges. This investment promises to unlock new avenues for scientific exploration and create a ripple effect of advancements across multiple disciplines.
