Science Foundations for the Energy Earthshots
University-led teams will conduct crosscutting, fundamental research to address knowledge gaps that limit achievement of the Energy Earthshot goals. These teams are focused on crosscutting scientific challenges, spanning the Office of Science research portfolio. These teams complement work done by the Energy Earthshot Research Centers.
