About this opportunity
This funding opportunity from the Department of Energy seeks applications for exploratory research projects in extreme-scale science. Topics of interest include harnessing technology innovations to accelerate science through visualization, scalable space-time memories for large discrete/agent-based models, neuromorphic computing, advanced wireless technologies, and quantum hardware emulation. Applications are due by May 2, 2024 and must substantially address one of the specified research topics. Pre-applications are encouraged to be submitted in advance of the deadline. Selections will consider how proposals strengthen the diversity of supported institutions and investigators.
Awards will be granted through the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program and are expected to range from $100,000 to $500,000 per year depending on applicant type and team composition. Research performance is anticipated to take place at locations determined by the applicants as needed to accomplish the proposed work.
Synopsis
Extreme-scale science recognizes that disruptive technology changes are occurring across science applications, algorithms, computer architectures and ecosystems. Recent reports point to emerging trends and advances in high-end computing, massive datasets, visualization, and artificial intelligence on increasingly heterogeneous architectures. Significant innovation will be required in the development of effective paradigms and approaches for realizing the full potential of scientific computing from emerging technologies. Proposed research should not focus on a specific science use case, but rather on creating the body of knowledge and understanding that will inform future advances in extreme-scale science. Consequently, the funding from this FOA is not intended to incrementally extend current research in the area of the proposed project. It is expected that the proposed projects will significantly benefit from the exploration of innovative ideas or from the development of unconventional approaches.
DOE is committed to promoting the diversity of investigators and institutions it supports, as indicated by the ongoing use of program policy factors (see Section V.B.2) in making selections of awards. To strengthen this commitment, DOE encourages applications that are led by, or include partners from, institutions in Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR)[1] jurisdictions or that are underrepresented in the ASCR portfolio[2], and applications led by individuals from groups historically underrepresented in STEM.
