The '''Lab-Embedded Entrepreneurship Program''' (LEEP) is a Department of Energy initiative launched in 2015 under the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) to embed early-career scientists and engineers in national labs, advancing clean energy technologies from concept to market. Operating four nodes—Cyclotron Road (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory), Chain Reaction Innovations (Argonne National Laboratory), Innovation Crossroads (Oak Ridge National Laboratory), and West Gate (National Renewable Energy Laboratory)—LEEP has supported over 140 fellows by 2025, raising over $1 billion in follow-on funding for startups like Celadyne Technologies.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/eere/amo/lab-embedded-entrepreneurship-program |title=LEEP Overview |publisher=Department of Energy}}</ref> With events like the 2022 LEEP Summit and a 2025 cohort call opened September 2024, it continues to bridge lab research and industry, supporting DOE’s decarbonization goals.
