Anthropic commits $150 million to Genesis Mission to support US scientific research

Anthropic is deepening its support for American scientific research by committing $150 million over three years to the Genesis Mission, a federal initiative designed to accelerate discovery through AI. This funding will make Claude available to more than 15 agencies participating in the mission, including NASA, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation.

The announcement was made during the Science: A New Golden Age Summit hosted by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. This commitment builds on a partnership with the US Department of Energy (DOE) announced last December, which has already brought Claude to scientists across national laboratories.

Support for Federal Researchers

The initiative aims to help researchers at federal agencies tackle difficult scientific problems. Over the next three years, Anthropic will:

• Provide Claude, Claude Code, and API credits to several hundred Genesis Mission research projects.
• Partner with agencies on top science priorities, specifically fusion energy and quantum computing.
• Offer training, onboarding, and technical support to help new agencies launch their first projects.

Broader Scientific Efforts

This commitment is part of Anthropic's wider strategy to support scientific research, which includes the recent launch of Claude Science, an AI workbench for researchers. The company also opened 10,000 free and discounted Claude seats for academic scientists and expanded its AI for Science program. Additionally, Anthropic initiated a research preview of the Model Hardware Standard, a specification for AI agents to safely operate lab instruments.
