OpportunityTitle: Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDac): High Energy Physics
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All types of applicants are eligible to apply, except Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995.    Other than as provided in the ?Individuals? or ?Domestic Entities? sections above, all prime recipients (lead organizations) receiving funding under this FOA must be incorporated (or otherwise formed) under the laws of a State or territory of the United States. If a foreign entity applies for funding as a prime recipient, it must designate in all submissions (Letter of Intent, pre-application, and full application) a subsidiary or affiliate incorporated (or otherwise formed) under the laws of a State or territory of the United States to be the prime recipient. The submission must state the nature of the corporate relationship between the foreign entity and domestic subsidiary or affiliate. Foreign entities may request a waiver of this requirement in the full application. DOE has discretion to waive this requirement if it determines that it will further the purposes of this FOA and is otherwise in the interests of DOE.    A foreign entity, with or without a subsidiary or affiliate incorporated (or otherwise formed) under the laws of a state or territory of the United States, may receive funding as a subawardee (team member).
Description: The Office of High Energy Physics (HEP) http://science.energy.gov/hep/research/ and the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) http://science.energy.gov/ascr/research/ of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announce their interest in receiving peer reviewable proposals from interdisciplinary multi-institutional teams to the Scientific Discovery through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) program, for Scientific Computation Application Partnerships (hereafter, Partnerships) in the area of computational high energy physics. Applications should propose two-year research plans and demonstrate how the proposed research will advance the HEP mission http://science.energy.gov/hep/about by fully exploiting leadership class computing resources (by which we mean those existing at or planned in the next five years for the Oak Ridge and Argonne Leadership Computing Facilities, or the high performance production computationa l systems at the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center, or similar computing facilities, see http://science.energy.gov/ascr/facilities/.) Proposals should focus on computational advances for the HEP Science drivers http://science.energy.gov/hep/research/science-drivers-of-particle-physics/ and be aligned with 2014 P5 priorities. Proposals from established areas for use of supercomputers such as Computational Cosmology, Lattice Gauge Theory, and Accelerator Modeling and Simulation will be considered along with those from emerging HPC users. Innovative research for HEP data analysis and simulation tools and HEP crosscut initiatives are included in the scope of this Funding Opportunity Announcement. Proposals must demonstrate viable partnerships with ASCR SciDAC Institutes http://science.energy.gov/ascr/research/scidac/scidac-institutes/ and propose ways to contribute to cross cut computational needs of the HEP community. Partnerships are encouraged to request joint fu nding from HEP and ASCR Offices under this Announcement by stating the requested funding amounts from HEP and ASCR, respectively, and supporting their proposed funding distribution in the budget justification (see Management Plan). All proposers should provide clear plans for engagement with the ASCR SciDAC Institutes as applicable and propose contributions to HEP cross cut computing.
