HOW TO APPLY FOR AN OFFICE OF SCIENCE GRANT
|
Who is eligible to apply for grant funding?
Colleges and universities, non-profit organizations,
for-profit commercial organizations,
state and local governments, and unaffiliated individuals
may submit grant applications in response to the following Funding
Opportunity Announcement (FOA).
ATTENTION
SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT
|
|
The Office of Science requires all financial assistance applications be
submitted through the Grants.gov website.
Grants.gov allows organizations to electronically find and apply for
competitive grant opportunities from all Federal grant-making agencies.
Grants.gov is THE single access point for over 1000 grant programs
offered by the 26 Federal grant-making agencies.
|
Registration Requirements: The Office of Science requires the submission of applications
through Grants.gov. There are several one-time actions you must complete in order to be
able to submit an application through Grants.gov (e.g., obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data
Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, register with the Central Contract Registry (CCR),
register with the credential provider and register with Grants.gov). You must complete
all the steps in "Get Started" at www.grants.gov
prior to submitting your initial application. Applicants, who are not registered with
CCR and Grants.gov, should allow 14 days to complete these requirements. It is suggested
that the process be started as soon as possible.

SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY THROUGH ADVANCED COMPUTING (SciDAC)
|
|
Beyond the scientific computing and computational science research embedded in the
Office of Science (SC) Core Programs, SC invests in a portfolio of coordinated research
efforts directed at exploiting the emerging capabilities of terascale and petascale
computing (http://www.osti.gov/scidac/).
The research projects in this portfolio respond to the extraordinary difficulties of
realizing sustained peak performance for those scientific applications that require
terascale and petascale capabilities to accomplish their research goals. They respond
also to the need for developing collaborative software environments where distributed
resources and expertise are combined to address complex questions that no single
institution can manage alone.
In recognition of these difficulties, the SciDAC research projects are collaborative
efforts involving teams of physical scientists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and
computational scientists working on major software and algorithm development for and
application to problems in the SC core programs, namely, Basic Energy Sciences, High
Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Fusion
Energy Sciences, and Biological and Environmental Research. Research funded under the
SciDAC program must address the interdisciplinary problems inherent in ultrascale
computing, problems that cannot be addressed by a single investigator or small group of
investigators. The latter are typically funded by the core research programs. SciDAC
