The PSAAP IV program, managed by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA), provides $20 million annually to support U.S. IHEs with doctoral programs in five focus areas, including predictive science, exascale computing, and workforce development. Awards are anticipated to range from $0.5-3.5 million per year for 5-year Predictive Simulation Centers and Focused Investigatory Centers.
