Genesis Mission Support

Genesis Mission Status:

The Genesis Mission Executive Order was issued on November 24, 2025 by President Donald J. Trump, and the subsequent mobilization by the Department of Energy (DOE) and the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP) for implementation.

Genesis Mission: Status Report & Implementation Outline:

Authority: Presidential Executive Order (Nov 24, 2025)

Lead Agency: Department of Energy (DOE)

Mission Phase: Phase I – Mobilization & Assessment (Days 1–60)

I. Executive Summary

The Genesis Mission is currently in its initial mobilization phase following the November 24 Executive Order. The mission is defined as a "whole-of-government" effort to integrate national scientific datasets, supercomputing resources, and artificial intelligence into a unified American Science and Security Platform. The administration has framed this as a "Manhattan Project" for AI-driven scientific discovery.

Current Status: Operational Start-Up. Leadership has been designated, and the initial 60-day sprint to identify "National Science and Technology Challenges" is underway.

II. Governance & Leadership Architecture

• Primary Oversight: The Mission is led by the Department of Energy (DOE).

• Key Appointments (Confirmed/Active):

  • Implementation Lead: Secretary of Energy Chris Wright.

  • Mission Director: Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil (Tasked with day-to-day operations and coordinating the 17 National Labs).

  • Interagency Coordination: Michael Kratsios, Assistant to the President for Science and Technology (APST).

  • Industry Liaison: David Sacks, Special Advisor for AI & Crypto (Leading private sector partnerships and IP frameworks).

III. Phase I Status: Immediate Action Items (Days 1–60)

Current Focus: Definition of Scope and Resource Identification

A. The "20 Challenges" Selection (In Progress)

• Deadline: January 23, 2026 (60 Days post-EO).

• Status: DOE and APST are currently soliciting and vetting proposals to select the top 20 "Science and Technology Challenges of National Importance."

• Priority Domains Under Review:

  1. Advanced Manufacturing: AI-augmented workflows and robotics.

  2. Biotechnology: Accelerating drug discovery and protein folding models.

  3. Critical Materials: Discovery of alloys and reduction of supply chain dependency.

  4. Nuclear Energy: Fission/Fusion reactor optimization.

  5. Quantum Information Science: Hybrid AI-quantum algorithms.

  6. Semiconductors: Next-gen microelectronics design.

B. Infrastructure Inventory (The "Platform")

• Deadline: February 22, 2026 (90 Days post-EO).

• Status: Active auditing of federal computing assets.

• Objective: Identify all available Federal high-performance computing (HPC), cloud resources, and networking capabilities (DOE on-prem + commercial cloud) to support the American Science and Security Platform.

C. Dataset Mobilization

• Deadline: March 24, 2026 (120 Days post-EO).

• Status: Agencies are currently cataloging datasets for ingestion.

• Key Requirement: Standardization, metadata tagging, and "provenance tracking" for datasets to be used in training the mission's Foundation Models.

IV. Strategic Pillars & Capabilities

The Mission has established three primary operational pillars:

1. American Energy Dominance:

   • Focus: Using AI to modernize the grid and accelerate fusion commercialization.

   • Status: National Labs are assessing current fusion data for AI model training.

2. Advancing Discovery Science:

   • Focus: Building the "Quantum Ecosystem" and automating hypothesis testing.

   • Status: Frameworks for "AI Agents" that can autonomously conduct experiments are being drafted.

3. Ensuring National Security:

   • Focus: Nuclear stockpile safety and "defense-ready" materials development.

   • Status: NNSA (National Nuclear Security Administration) is integrating classified datasets into the secure enclave of the Platform.

V. Upcoming Deliverables & Timeline
