Computational Materials Sciences

 

The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announces its interest in receiving applications in Computational Materials Sciences proposing integrated, multidisciplinary teams that will develop validated community codes and data bases for predictive design of functional materials, excluding structural materials. Computational Materials Sciences Teams could also involve new approaches to enhance the use of large data sets derived from advanced characterization of materials, materials synthesis, processing, and properties assessments and the parallel data that are generated by large scale computational efforts that model materials phenomena. Computational Materials Sciences will support the Materials Genome Initiative for Global Competitiveness (MGI) that was announced by the President in June 2011. The goal of the MGI is to reduce the time from discovery to deployment of new materials by a factor of two and is tied to advancement of American manufacturing capability.

Deleted 07/17/2015 (Archived.) DE-FOA-0001276 Grant All types of applicants are eligible to apply except nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995, and subject to the limitations below: 1. Domestic Organizations: Non-DOE/NNSA FFRDCs and Non-DOE Government Owned Government Operated (GOGOs) Organizations are eligible to apply for funding as a subawardee (team member), but are not eligible to apply as a prime recipient (lead organization). Federal agencies and instrumentalities (other than DOE) are eligible to apply for funding as a subawardee (team member), but are not eligible to apply as a prime recipient (lead organization). 2. Foreign Organizations: All prime recipients (lead organizations) receiving funding under this FOA must be incorporated (or otherwise formed) under the laws of a State or territory of the United States. A foreign entity, with or without a subsidiary or affiliate incorporated (or otherwise formed) under the laws of a state or territory of the United States, may receive funding as a subawardee (team member). 3. Incorporated Consortia: Incorporated consortia, which may include domestic and/or foreign entities, are eligible to apply for funding as a prime recipient (lead organization) or subawardee (team member). Each incorporated consortium must have an internal governance structure and a written set of internal rules. Upon request, the consortium must provide a written description of its internal governance structure and its internal rules to the DOE Contracting Officer. Consortia incorporated in foreign countries are not eligible to apply as a prime recipient (please refer to requirement in ?Foreign Organizations? above). 4. Unincorporated Consortia: Unincorporated consortia (team arrangements), which may include domestic and foreign entities, must designate one member of the consortium to serve as the prime recipient/consortium representative (lead organization). The prime recipient/consortium representative must be incorporated (or otherwise formed) under the laws of a State or territory of the United States. 04/17/2015 This program does not have cost sharing or matching requirements.
