Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002040
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, through the Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program, released the funding opportunity titled "Computational Materials Sciences" (Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0002040) to support research and software efforts that advance the computational design of functional materials. The central goal is not just to fund one-off simulations, but to produce broadly usable, carefully validated "community codes" along with the databases that go with them, so that the wider materials research community can rely on shared, high-quality computational tools and data when designing and evaluating materials.
A key expectation in this opportunity is a clear, credible plan to use DOE Leadership Class Computing resources. Applicants are expected to describe how they will leverage petascale systems, transition-capable pre-exascale platforms, and ultimately future exascale machines. In other words, proposals should be structured around high-performance computing as an integral part of the science and the deliverables, rather than treating computing time as a minor add-on. The intent is to push computational materials science to scales and levels of fidelity that are only possible on top-tier DOE facilities, and to ensure the resulting codes and databases are robust enough to become shared infrastructure for the field.
From a research standpoint, projects must align with BES priorities and quality standards, including the directions laid out in BES community planning documents and the outcomes of peer review. That typically implies that proposals should be grounded in fundamental science questions relevant to energy-related materials, while also demonstrating strong technical plans for code development, verification and validation, usability by the broader community, and effective data generation and curation. The emphasis on "validated" codes and associated databases signals that reproducibility, benchmarking, and reliability are central evaluation themes, not afterthoughts.
This opportunity was issued as a discretionary grant program within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category (CFDA 81.049). Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning a wide range of applicant types can apply, subject to any additional eligibility details that may be included in the full announcement. The FOA was created on November 26, 2018, with an original application closing date of February 28, 2019. DOE anticipated making around 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $2,000,000 per award.
Overall, this grant opportunity targets efforts that combine cutting-edge materials theory and simulation with serious software engineering and data stewardship, aiming to deliver shared computational platforms and datasets that can accelerate functional materials discovery and design at the national scale, especially by exploiting DOE's most powerful computing resources.Apply for DE FOA 0002040
