Nvidia Commits $1 Billion Over Five Years to U.S. Science Research
The chipmaker will fund quantum computing, healthcare and energy research as the Department of Energy's Genesis Mission expands.
Nvidia said Wednesday it will commit $1 billion over the next five years to expand U.S. capacity for AI-driven scientific research, with a focus on quantum computing, healthcare and energy security.
The announcement came at the "Science: A New Golden Age" event in Washington, D.C., where the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy marked the expansion of the Genesis Mission, a Department of Energy initiative in which Nvidia is a leading industry partner.
Where the money goes
According to the company, the commitment covers three areas:
- Support for research at U.S. colleges and universities
- Investments aimed at U.S. leadership in quantum computing
- Support for cloud providers that serve U.S. government mission needs
Nvidia is also a collaborator on several phase 2 Genesis Mission awards spanning quantum computing, fusion, accelerator design and microelectronics, and said it is inviting the science community to run R&D on its compute and AI infrastructure.
"With a $1 billion investment, NVIDIA is putting advanced Super Intelligence in the hands of America's scientists." — Jensen Huang, founder and CEO, Nvidia
Building on national lab work
The company has worked with U.S. national laboratories for more than two decades. In 2025 it announced a Genesis Mission partnership with the DOE that included building the department's largest supercomputer for scientific research at Argonne National Laboratory. It is also supporting seven new systems across Argonne and Los Alamos.
The pledge lands the same week Nvidia's market value approached $6 trillion, as investors continue to bet on sustained demand for AI infrastructure.
