Anthropic has committed $150 million over three years to the federal Genesis Mission, a move intended to make Claude available to researchers at more than 15 participating agencies, including NASA, the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation. The funding would give federal and national-laboratory projects access to Claude tools, credits and implementation support.
Support for several hundred projects
Anthropic said it will provide Claude, Claude Code and API credits to several hundred Genesis Mission research projects. The company also plans to offer training, onboarding and technical support, including help for agencies that are new to the mission as they establish their first projects.
Research priorities
The company said it will work with agencies and national laboratories on the administration’s science priorities, naming fusion energy and quantum computing. The Genesis Mission is a federal initiative focused on accelerating scientific and technological discovery through AI.
Continuation of DOE work
Anthropic said the commitment builds on a partnership with the US Department of Energy and the Genesis Mission that it announced last December. It also said it has worked with DOE to bring Claude to scientists across national laboratories. The new commitment was announced at the Science: A New Golden Age Summit hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in Washington, DC.
Broader science program
Anthropic placed the commitment alongside its other research-access efforts: Claude Science, an AI workbench for commonly used research tools and packages; 10,000 free and discounted Claude seats for academic scientists; the AI for Science credits program; and a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard, a shared specification intended to let AI agents safely operate laboratory instruments.
