 The Department of Energy Early Career Research Program supports the development of the individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and stimulates research careers in the disciplines supported by the DOE Office of Science. Opportunities exist in the following program areas:

- Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR);
- Basic Energy Sciences (BES);
- Biological and Environmental Research (BER);
- Fusion Energy Sciences (FES);
- High Energy Physics (HEP);
- Nuclear Physics (NP);
- Isotope R&D and Production (DOE IP); and
- Accelerator R&D and Production (ARDAP)

 The full funding opportunity announcement, including descriptions of program areas, is available [at this link](https://www.grants.gov/search-results-detail/351531). The Office of Science plans to hold an informational webinar about this FOA during the week of January 8, 2024. Registration instructions and other details will be posted at [https://science.osti.gov/early-career and at https://science.osti.gov/grants/FOAs/Open](https://science.osti.gov/early-career%C2%A0and%20at%C2%A0https://science.osti.gov/grants/FOAs/Open).

 **Eligibility:** To be eligible for the program, a researcher must be an untenured, tenure-track assistant or associate professor as of the application deadline and have received their doctorate on or after January 1, 2011. If an applicant has multiple doctorates, the discipline of the one they have earned within the 12-year eligibility window must be relevant to the proposed research. Extensions to eligibility will be considered for individuals who have had a major life event requiring an extended absence (three months or longer) from the workplace, including but not limited to active military service, an absence due to personal disability, or an absence covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act. A PI may not submit a full proposal in more than three Early Career Research Program competitions.
