October 27, 2023 By admin Leave a Comment

Chain Reaction Innovations (CRI), the Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program (LEEP) at the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, has announced the commencement of the application process for its eighth cohort of innovators. The program is dedicated to supporting innovators in the field of clean energy and climate technologies.

CRI offers a unique opportunity for early-stage innovators by embedding them at Argonne National Laboratory. Participants in the program receive a fellowship that includes a salary, benefits, funds for research, and a travel stipend, all aimed at helping them commercialize their groundbreaking technologies.

Application Deadline and Preferred Technology Areas

The application period for Cohort 8 is open until 5 p.m. CT on November 30, 2023, with selected participants commencing their work at Argonne in the summer of 2024. Individuals interested in developing technology in the following preferred areas are encouraged to apply:

Advanced materials
Improving manufacturing efficiency
Industrial decarbonization
Lowering building carbon and energy footprints
Solar energy
Quantum computing
Energy storage – electric grid
Circularity (re-X pathways; circular economy)
Food, water, energy nexus
Carbon dioxide removal (CDR)
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS)
Inclusivity and Support

CRI prides itself on fostering a culture of inclusive innovation, emphasizing the strength of diverse perspectives, fresh ideas, and valuable insights from its innovators. The program aims to equip startups with a strong foundation in business knowledge, enabling them to thrive in the entrepreneurial landscape.
