About this opportunity
Program overview: Chain Reaction Innovations (CRI) is managed by the DOE Office of Technology Commercialization’s Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP) run by Argonne National Laboratory. It is one of four LEEP nodes located at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Laboratory of the Rockies, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and Argonne. For each cohort, DOE will provide funding over a two-year period to support four to six innovators. Individual innovators will be selected each year to receive this two-year allocation. This funding will pay for fellowships that cover a stipend, provisions, use of laboratory equipment and office space, and guidance from Argonne researchers.
