DE-FOA-NA0003299: NOTICE OF INTENT TO ISSUE PSAAP IV NOTICE OF

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY NO. DE-FOA-NA0003284

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Advanced Simulation and Computing

(ASC) and Institutional Research & Development Programs intends to issue a Notice of Funding

Opportunity (NOFO) entitled “Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP) IV Notice of

Funding Opportunity.”

NNSA plans to issue the NOFO in February 2024 via grants.gov, FedConnect, and the PSAAP website at https://psaap.llnl.gov/. ASC envisions awarding multiple financial assistance awards in the form of cooperative agreements. The estimated period of performance for each award will be approximately five years.

The ASC program office, with support from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), Los

Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), plans to commence the fourth iteration of the Predictive Science Academic Alliance Program (PSAAP). PSAAP IV intends to support leading U.S. institutions of higher education, with doctoral programs, engaging in five major focus areas:

• Discipline-focused research needed to further predictive science and enabled by effective exascale computing and data science technologies;

• Mathematics and computer science (CS) technologies and methodologies development and demonstration to support effective exascale computing in the context of science/engineering applications;

• State-of-the-art machine learning (ML) and data science technologies utilization and advancement for predictive science and engineering;

• Predictive science based on verification, validation, and uncertainty quantification (VVUQ) for large-scale simulations; and

• Workforce development of the next-generation computational scientists.
