==Funding==
==Funding==
E3SM is funded through the DOE Office of Science's Biological and Environmental Research program. Although specific initial funding amounts are not detailed, the project benefits from DOE's investments in both climate science research and high-performance computing infrastructure.
In 2022, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $70 million in funding for seven projects aimed at improving the E3SM. This funding was intended to accelerate development, enhance climate prediction, and support collaborations between climate scientists, computer scientists, and applied mathematicians.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/articles/doe-announces-70-million-improve-supercomputer-model-earths-climate-system |title=DOE Announces $70 Million to Improve Supercomputer Model of Earth's Climate System |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref> Additionally, for fiscal year 2021, the DOE allocated $7.7 million for 11 studies focused on improving understanding of Earth system predictability through the E3SM. These projects were selected via competitive peer review under the DOE's Earth and Environmental Systems Modeling Program, sponsored by the Office of Biological and Environmental Research.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov |title=DOE Announces $7.7 Million for Earth & Environmental Systems Modeling |accessdate=January 30, 2025}}</ref>
