OpportunityTitle: Science Foundations for Energy Earthshots
Description: The Office of Science (SC) hereby announces its interest in applications to advance basic research in support of the Department of Energy&#8217;s Energy Earthshots&#8482; initiative.[1] The Energy Earthshots drive integrated program development and execution across the Department of Energy&#8217;s basic science and energy technology offices. They are part of an all-hands-on-deck approach to provide science and technology innovations that address the tough technological challenges required to achieve our climate and economic competitiveness goals.[2],[3] The Energy Earthshots will accelerate breakthroughs towards more abundant, affordable, and reliable clean energy solutions. This FOA will support small teams to build the scientific foundations for the Energy Earthshot goals.
