Description

The DOE SC program in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) announces its interest in receiving new applications in Data Science for Knowledge Discovery for Chemical and Materials Research with the aim of advancing the use of modern data science approaches (artificial intelligence, machine learning, graph theory, uncertainty quantification, etc.) to accelerate discovery in chemical and materials sciences. This funding opportunity is the first in this topical area sponsored by BES. The program will support Single Investigator/Small Group efforts (up to $500,000 per year) for research with a focus on applying data science approaches and tools for experimental, theoretical/computational, or synergistic experimental/theoretical/computational research in areas supported by BES. Although the research may involve the development of new data science approaches, the focus of the effort should be on advancing understanding of fundamental properties and processes in chemical and materials systems.

Catch-all / unrestricted eligibility mark · DE-FOA-0002082

Grants.gov marks Data Science for Discovery in Chemical and Ma… with a catch-all / unrestricted eligibility code (Unrestricted / see official listing). Read the official announcement text for the real applicant filter — the code alone is not a door list. The extract does not mark applicant cost-sharing as required. Instrument: Grant. Funding-activity code maps to Science and Technology / R&D (ST). This eligibility-code string dominates the Office of Science book (278 peers, 67% of 415).
