ATTENTION - CHANGE IN SUBMISSION REQUIREMENT EFFECTIVE March 12, 2009
The Office of Science is now requiring all financial assistance applications be submitted through the Department of Energy e-Center (IIPS). Applicants will still need to visit the Grants.gov website to download the required Application Package (forms), by clicking on "Apply for Grants" and searching for the Funding Opportunity Announcement. For Instructions on the Use of IIPS visit this web page, IIPS Instructions. Registration Requirements: As part of the Department's implementation of e-Government, there are several one-time actions you must complete in order to submit an application (e.g., obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, register with the Central Contract Registry (CCR), register with the credential provider). See http://www.grants.gov/GetStarted. Use the Grants.gov Organization Registration Checklist at http://www.grants.gov/assets/OrganizationRegCheck.pdf to guide you through the process. Designating an E-Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC) and obtaining a special password called an MPIN are important steps in the CCR registration process. Applicants, who are not registered with CCR, should allow at least 21 days to complete these requirements. It is suggested that the process be started as soon as possible. Applicants do not need to register with Grants.gov to submit an application using IIPS. Need help with Grants.gov, visit the Troubleshooting Tips Page at http://www.grants.gov/help/trouble_tips.jsp.

In recognition of these difficulties, the SciDAC research projects are collaborative efforts involving teams of physical scientists, mathematicians, computer scientists, and computational scientists working on major software and algorithm development for and application to problems in the SC core programs, namely, Basic Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Fusion Energy Sciences, and Biological and Environmental Research. Research funded under the SciDAC program must address the interdisciplinary problems inherent in ultrascale computing, problems that cannot be addressed by a single investigator or small group of investigators. The latter are typically funded by the core research programs. SciDAC Contact: (301) 903-3691.
