U.S. Department of Energy – Basic Energy Sciences (BES): BES supports fundamental research to understand, predict, and ultimately control matter and energy at the electronic, atomic, and molecular levels to provide the foundations for new energy technologies and support DOE missions in energy, environment, and national security.

U.S. Department of Energy – The Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E) is an agency within the department that is tasked with funding the research and development of advanced energy technologies.

The Welch Foundation supports fundamental chemical research at educational institutions within the state of Texas.

The mission of Research Corporation for Science Advancement is to advance early-stage, high-potential, basic scientific research.

The mission of the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) is to accelerate scientific discovery at the DOE Office of Science through high-performance computing and data analysis.

Texas Center for Superconductivity at the University of Houston (TcSUH) is a large multidisciplinary, university-based superconductivity and advanced materials research center. The Center has over 200 faculty members, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, and visiting scholars from five departments who work to discover and improve new materials, advance science and engineering, and transfer breakthroughs in technology to the industrial sector, impacting the emerging high-temperature superconductor (HTS) electric power community, the medical community, and other sectors. The Center’s multidisciplinary research programs are training the next generation of scientists and engineers.
