DOE Distributed Resilient Systems: Harvard Internal Deadline

Department of Energy Distributed Resilient Systems
Harvard Internal Deadline: January 15, 2023
FAS/SEAS/OSP Pre-Application Deadline: February 6, 2023
Sponsor Pre-Application Deadline: February 9, 2023
FAS/SEAS/OSP Deadline: March 23, 2023
Sponsor Full Proposal Deadline: March 30, 2023

Award Amount: Up to $1,650,000 per year for DOE National Laboratories; Up to $350,000 per year for all other applicants. A multi-institutional team, regardless of the number of team members, is limited to a request of no more than $2,000,000 per year. DOE anticipates making awards with a project period of five years.

The DOE Office of Science program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research has announced its interest 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.

This is a limited submission opportunity and Harvard may submit only two proposals as the lead institution. The Office of the Vice Provost for Research will conduct the internal competition to select the Harvard nominees. To be considered for the Harvard nomination, potential applicants must submit an internal pre-proposal via the link above.
