About this opportunity

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science is seeking applications from interdisciplinary teams to establish partnerships under the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program in specific targeted topic areas related to the missions of the DOE Basic Energy Sciences (BES) and Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) programs. The targeted topics include complex dynamical systems for energy-relevant chemical/physical systems and materials, reliable and explainable AI for chemical/physical mechanism extraction, and foundation models for chemical and materials sciences. Pre-applications are required by February 21, 2025, with responses provided by March 21, 2025. Full applications are due April 25, 2025. The program requires partnerships between domain scientists and applied mathematicians/computer scientists, including collaboration with SciDAC Institutes, and utilization of DOE's high-performance computing facilities including exascale machines Frontier and Aurora.

The total available funding for this opportunity is $40 million, with up to 6 awards ranging from $1-2.5 million per year for a 4-year period. Eligible applicants include domestic entities, except 501(c)(4) nonprofits, with DOE National Laboratories eligible as leads or subrecipients. No cost sharing is required for basic research activities under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO).

Synopsis

The DOE SC programs in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) and Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) announce their interest in receiving applications from interdisciplinary teams to establish partnerships under the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program in specific targeted topic areas that relate to the BES and ASCR missions. Targeted topics are described in the Supplementary Information section below.


This Announcement invites new research applications for the SciDAC Partnerships in BES that enable or accelerate scientific discovery employing DOE High-Performance Computing (HPC) facilities. For the purpose of this Announcement, the term "DOE HPC" has been expanded to include the high-performance production computational systems at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF), or similar DOE computing facilities. DOE HPC includes the exascale machines Frontier and Aurora.
