About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Office of Science seeks applications for the Energy Frontier Research Centers program through a re-competition funding opportunity. Eligible applicants include multi-disciplinary research teams proposing basic scientific discovery in priority areas such as transformative manufacturing, quantum information science, and environmental management. Selections will support high-impact fundamental science for up to five years, with awards ranging from $2-4 million annually. Applications are due between February and May 2024, with selections anticipated in late 2024.
Awards will be administered under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program. Total anticipated funding is $100 million to support grants of $2-4 million per year, with acceptable research costs including personnel, travel, equipment, and indirect expenses. Research must be performed at universities, national laboratories, or other organizations and address directions from workshops on advanced manufacturing, quantum systems, and environmental management through fundamental discovery science.
Synopsis
The DOE SC program in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) announces a re-competition of the Energy Frontier Research Center (EFRC) program and encourages both new and renewal applications. Applications from multi-disciplinary teams will be required to propose discovery science and use-inspired basic research that addresses priority research directions and opportunities identified by a series of BES workshop and roundtable reports. The focus of the EFRC program is on fundamental scientific research, therefore applications to this FOA must not propose applied research and technology development activities. BES is soliciting renewal applications for basic science in three topical areas: 1) Transformative manufacturing, 2) Quantum information science (QIS), and 3) Environmental management. BES is soliciting new applications for basic science in two topical areas: 1) Co-design of materials and processes to revolutionize microelectronics and/or QIS fabrication, and 2) Environmental management.
