Chain Reaction Innovations is a 2-year lab-embedded fellowship at Argonne National Laboratory that selects 4-6 innovators annually to develop energy and science technologies with immediate access to laboratory equipment and facilities. Fellows receive salary, benefits, office space, equipment access, and guidance from Argonne researchers, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office. This unique structure provides innovators with resources typically unavailable to early-stage startups while allowing them to de-risk and commercialize breakthrough technologies.
