Title
SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY THROUGH ADVANCED COMPUTING (SCIDAC): PARTNERSHIP IN NUCLEAR PHYSICS
Agencies
Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
The DOE SC programs in Nuclear Physics (NP) (https://science.osti.gov/np) and Advanced
Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) (https://science.osti.gov/ascr) hereby announce their
interest in receiving five-year, multi-institutional applications for the Scientific Discovery
through Advanced Computing (SciDAC) Partnerships program (https://www.scidac.gov/).
FOA invites new research applications for the SciDAC-5 Partnerships that enable or accelerate
scientific discovery, aligned with the NP mission, through productive collaborations between
nuclear physicists and applied mathematicians and/or computer scientists from the SciDAC
Institutes to fully exploit the capabilities of DOE HPC.
For the purposes of this FOA, the term “DOE HPC” (i.e., DOE High-End/High-Performance
Computing facilities, e.g., see https://science.osti.gov/ascr/Facilities) has been expanded to
include the high performance production computational systems at the National Energy Research
Scientific Computing Center (NERSC), as well as those existing, or planned to be available by
2022, at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF), Oak Ridge Leadership Computing
Facility (OLCF), or similar DOE computing facilities. DOE HPC includes the exascale machines
now planned for these Facilities (Perlmutter, Aurora, Frontier) within the period covered by this
2

Submission Limits
Applicant institutions are limited to no more than two letters of intent or applications. DOE will
consider the latest received submissions to be the institution’s intended submissions. Only the
SC/NNSA Laboratories mentioned in Section I. may submit a LOI.
• Applications in excess of the limited number of submissions may be declined without review.
The PI on a letter of intent or application may also be listed as a senior or key personnel on
separate submissions without limitation.
