The following message is from the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Graduate Education and was sent to Associate Deans for Research, Department Chairs and Administrators in the Biological and Physical Sciences, College/School Research Administrators.

DoE has released FOA Number: DE-FOA-0002902 Distributed Resilient Systems with a very short timeline for submission and limits the number of pre-applications to 2 per institution. Required pre-applications are due to DoE by February 9, 2023.

The DoE SC program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) is interested in receiving applications focusing on basic research in computer science that explores innovative approaches to creating distributed resilient systems for science. Such systems might be national or global in scale, linking geographically-distributed computing systems and scientific instruments, and might involve a large number of edge devices or sensors, but regardless, must manage computation and data in scalable and fault-tolerant manner. Important research challenges involve techniques for advanced middleware and operating and runtime systems, with this FOA targeting two research areas: 1) scalable system modeling, and 2) adaptive management and partitioning of resources. Advances in these areas will contribute to scaling-up our increasingly complex and interconnected scientific enterprise. 

We ask 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

Please share this information among PIs in your unit who are working in relevant research areas. Interested PIs should submit a single PDF with the requested information to grants@research.wisc.edu by Friday, January 13.
