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 grant solicitation notices.
"NOTICE"
|
|
Preparation for Grants.gov
|
Unless otherwise noted, the Office of Science will continue to utilize
DOE's Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) to receive
financial assistance applications, IIPS can be accessed at the following Web Site
http://e-center.doe.gov.
|
Registration Requirements: As part of the Department's implementation of e-Government,
during FY 2005, the Office of Science will begin requiring 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.
VERY IMPORTANT - Grants.gov utilizes PureEdge software for application completion
and submission. You must download the PureEdge Viewer to open application forms and
instructions: In order to view the application packages and instructions, you will need to
download and install the PureEdge Viewer. This free software program will allow you to access,
complete, and submit applications electronically and securely. For a free version of the software,
visit the following Web Site:

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
