OpportunityTitle: SciDAC:  Partnerships in Earth System Model Development
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All types of domestic applicants are eligible to apply, except nonprofit organizations described in  section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after  December 31, 1995.  Federally affiliated entities must adhere to the eligibility standards below:  1. DOE/NNSA National Laboratories  DOE/NNSA National Laboratories are eligible to submit applications under this FOA and may   be proposed as subrecipients under another organization&#8217;s application. If recommended for   funding as a lead applicant, funding will be provided through the DOE Field-Work Proposal   System and work will be conducted under the laboratory&#8217;s contract with DOE. No administrative   provisions of this FOA will apply to the laboratory or any laboratory subcontractor. If   recommended for funding as a proposed subrecipient, the value of the proposed subaward will be removed from the prime applicant&#8217;s award and will be provided to the laboratory through the DOE Field-Work Proposal System and work will be conducted under the laboratory&#8217;s contract   with DOE. Additional instructions for securing authorization from the cognizant Contracting   Officer are found in Section VIII of this FOA.  2. Non-DOE/NNSA FFRDCs  Non-DOE/NNSA FFRDCs are not eligible to submit applications under this FOA but may be   proposed as subrecipients under another organization&#8217;s application. If recommended for funding as a proposed subrecipient, the value of the proposed subaward may be removed from the prime applicant&#8217;s award and may be provided through an interagency agreement to the FFRDC&#8217;s sponsoring Federal Agency. Additional instructions for securing authorization from the   cognizant Contracting Officer are found in Section VIII of this FOA.  3. Other Federal Agencies  Other Federal Agencies are not eligible to submit applications under this FOA but may be   proposed as subrecipients under another organization&#8217;s application. If recommended for funding as a proposed subrecipient, the value of the proposed subaward may be removed from the prime applicant&#8217;s award and may be provided through an interagency agreement. Additional   instructions for providing statutory authorization are found in Section VIII of this FOA.
Description: The DOE SC programs in Biological and Environmental Research (BER) and Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) announce their interest in receiving applications from multi-disciplinary teams to establish collaborative projects under the SC-wide Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program in specific targeted topic areas that relate to the BER and ASCR missions. This FOA invites new research applications for the SciDAC-5 Partnerships in Earth System Model Development that enable or accelerate scientific discovery employing deep, necessary, and productive collaborations between earth-system scientists on the one hand and applied mathematicians and computer scientists on the other, that overcome the barriers between these disciplines and consequently fully exploit the capabilities of DOE high-performance computing (HPC) in order to accelerate and enhance the DOE&#8217;s Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM) development, supported by the Earth System Model Development Program Area (ESMD) of the Earth and Environmental Systems Modeling Program (EESM) within the Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences Division (EESSD) under BER. This SciDAC opportunity targets current challenges of the E3SM to improve its representations and performance of the Atlantic Meridional Ocean Circulation (AMOC), the Antarctic ice sheet, marine biogeochemistry, and quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO), as well as improved physics and numerics to enhance coupling of the various components with high and variable resolutions of the E3SM.
