Office of Science Financial Assistance Program

 

The Office of Sciences (SC) mission is to deliver scientific discoveries and major scientific tools to transform our understanding of nature and advance the energy, economic, and national security of the United States. SC is the Nations largest Federal sponsor of basic research in the physical sciences and the lead Federal agency supporting fundamental scientific research for our Nations energy future. SC accomplishes its mission and advances national goals by supporting: ? The frontiers of scienceexploring natures mysteries from the study of fundamental subatomic particles, atoms, and molecules that are the building blocks of the materials of our universe and everything in it to the DNA, proteins, and cells that are the building blocks of life. Each of the programs in SC supports research probing the most fundamental disciplinary questions. ? The 21st Century tools of scienceproviding the nations researchers with 28 state-of-the-art national scientific user facilities, the most advanced tools of modern science, propelling the U.S. to the forefront of science, technology development, and deployment through innovation. ? Science for energy and the environment?paving the knowledge foundation to spur discoveries and innovations for advancing the Departments mission in energy and environment. SC supports a wide range of funding modalities from single principal investigators to large team-based activities to engage in fundamental research on energy production, conversion, storage, transmission, and use, and on our understanding of the earth systems. SC is an established leader of the U.S. scientific discovery and innovation enterprise. Over the decades, SC investments and accomplishments in basic research and enabling research capabilities have provided the foundations for new technologies, businesses, and industries, making significant contributions to our nations economy, national security, and quality of life.
