Lists below represent recommendations, at time of posting, for awards selected using competitive peer review under topical Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) sponsored by the Office of Science (SC). Topical FOAs are an important element of the overall research portfolio that SC supports. The lists provide the most recent topical FOA awards that have been selected by SC.
The Portfolio Analysis And Management System (PAMS) Award Search provides public abstracts, specific funding amounts, and more information once an award has been made. The PAMS Award Search also includes information about awards made prior to 2022 from topical FOAs as well as awards from the annually-issued “Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program.”
The Office of Science of the Department of Energy is pleased to announce that four projects (listed below) have been selected to receive funding as part of a competition for research in Computational Materials Science (CMS) sponsored by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The research efforts will develop advanced open-source community software and databases.

The Office of Science of the Department of Energy is pleased to announce that four projects (listed below) have been selected to receive funding as part of a competition for research in Computational Materials Science (CMS) sponsored by the Office of Basic Energy Sciences. The research efforts will develop advanced open-source community software and databases. Solicited topics were (a) computational discovery and design of functional materials with unique physical properties, and (b) computational modeling of emergent and ordered magnetic, superconducting, and/or ferroelectric phases, including their dynamics. A key aim of the current projects is to take full advantage of the nation’s most advanced computers. Funding will provide a bridge to perform fundamental and exploratory research at so-called “exascale” machines recently deployed at DOE national laboratories.
The FOA is issued by the FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program to seek new applications from U.S. researchers to carry out frontier-level plasma science research on one or more of the FES GPS Program supported collaborative research facilities (CRFs). The focus here is on new, one-time, short-term, small “seed” funding for external collaborations with the CRFs and to increase participation at and productivity of these facilities. Through the support of this research, the FES GPS Program plays ...

The FOA is issued by the FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program to provide frontier-level research opportunities leading to significant advances in the fundamental understanding of basic plasma science and engineering. The FOA welcomed proposals in three core research areas: (i) dynamical processes in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma, such as magnetic reconnection, plasma dynamo, shocks, turbulence cascade, structures, waves, flows and their interactions; (ii) behavior of dusty plas ...

The FOA welcomed proposals in three core research areas: (i) dynamical processes in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma, such as magnetic reconnection, plasma dynamo, shocks, turbulence cascade, structures, waves, flows and their interactions; (ii) behavior of dusty plasma, non-neutral, single-component matter or antimatter plasma, and ultra-cold neutral plasma; and (iii) plasma chemistry and processes in low temperature plasma, interfacial plasma, and interaction of plasma with materials and/or biomaterials. Through the support of this research, the FES GPS Program plays a key role in training the next generation of plasma scientists and engineers.
These partnerships advance understanding of the physical world by supporting fundamental, early-stage energy research collaborations with the DOE National Laboratories. The grants are aimed to enhance the research of EPSCoR scientists while building expertise and capabilities that will enable the institutions to compete more successfully for other federal R&D funding. In this way the DOE EPSCoR program advances the geographic diversity of researchers conducting competitive energy-related resear ...

Nuclear Data Evaluators are subject matter experts that assess new and old experimental data, theory, and computational methods to determine the best accepted values for properties of nuclear structure and reactions. Due to retirements and increasing demand in nuclear data, there is a need to increase the evaluator workforce. Awards under this FOA will train four new evaluators to bolster the workforce, and include a summer school for in-depth training in specialized topics among the cohort of t ...
