OpportunityTitle: Integrated Computational and Data Infrastructure (ICDI) for Scientific Discovery
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/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) National Laboratories  DOE/NNSA National Laboratories are eligible to submit applications (either as a lead organization or as a team member in a multi-institutional team) 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. 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. No administrative provisions of this FOA will apply to the laboratory or any laboratory subcontractor. 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 neither eligible to submit applications under this FOA nor to be proposed as subrecipients under another organization&#8217;s application.    3. Other Federal Agencies  Other Federal Agencies are neither eligible to submit applications under this FOA nor to be proposed as subrecipients under another organization&#8217;s application.  Applications from for-profit organizations that propose research related to current commercial activity may be declined without merit review.  Applications that are submitted by applicants that have not submitted a required LOI may be declined without further review.
Description: The DOE SC program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) hereby announces its interest in funding research and development projects to create an advanced Integrated Computational and Data Infrastructure (ICDI) program. This FOA is composed of two topics.Topic A &#8220;Experimental/Computational/Computer Science collaborations&#8221; addresses the challenge of creating collaborative teams of scientists to accelerate science discoveries supported by the SC programs. Applications to this topic must be submitted by multi-investigator teams.Topic B: &#8220;Intelligent Distributed Infrastructure Simulation Capabilities&#8221; addresses the challenge of modeling, simulating, and validating the performance of geographically distributed science infrastructures. Both single and multiple investigator applications may be submitted.
