DoE has released FOA Number: DE-FOA-0002950 EXPRESS: 2023 Exploratory Research for Extreme-Scale Science with a very short timeline for submission and limits the number of pre-applications or applications to 4 per institution. Required pre-applications are due to DoE by March 8, 2023.  

The DOE SC program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) hereby announces its interest in basic research to explore potentially high-impact approaches in scientific computing and extreme-scale science. 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, scientific machine learning, artificial intelligence (AI) on increasingly heterogeneous architectures, including neuromorphic and quantum systems. 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 strictly 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.

OVCRG asks that interested PIs submit the following information for internal review:

1. Title
2. PI name and department
3. Names and affiliation of co-PIs, if applicable
4. 1-2 page summary of proposed effort

Interested PIs should submit a single PDF with the requested information to grants@research.wisc.edu by Friday, February 17.
