The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced the grant opportunity DE-FOA-0003228, focusing on Earth System Model Development and Analysis. This grant falls under the category of discretionary funding and aims to support science and technology, as well as other research and development activities, specifically in the area of environmental research. Classified under the CFDA number 81.049, which relates to the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program, the grant has an impressive estimated total program funding of $16,000,000. With an award ceiling of $900,000 and a floor of $600,000, the funding opportunity is open until March 21, 2024, allowing ample time for applicants to prepare and submit their proposals.

The primary aim of this funding opportunity is to support fundamental, interdisciplinary research that contributes to a predictive, systems-level understanding of Earth, environmental, and biological systems. The grant is particularly interested in projects that focus on developing advanced mathematical methods and computational models for systems ranging from molecular to global scales. It also emphasizes the importance of connecting large and diverse datasets with models to enable robust predictions of complex system behavior. The grant is part of the Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences Division (EESSD) activities within the DOE and focuses on two main components: Earth System Model Development (ESMD) and Regional and Global Modeling Analysis (RGMA). While ESMD is primarily concerned with the further development of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), RGMA focuses on scientific analysis based on E3SM and other Earth system models. These components collectively aim to understand the behaviors and interactions between Earth systems and energy-related activities. Eligibility for this grant is broad, including all types of domestic applicants except certain nonprofits engaged in lobbying activities. This funding opportunity represents a significant investment in environmental research, offering a chance for substantial advancements in Earth system modeling and analysis.

Non-domestic institutions may be proposed as team member(s) in a multi-institutional team and may be proposed as subrecipients under another organization’s application. Federally affiliated entities must adhere to the eligibility standards below: III.A.1. DOE/NNSA National Laboratories DOE/NNSA National Laboratories are not eligible to submit applications under this FOA but may be proposed as subrecipients under another organization’s application. If recommended for funding as a proposed subrecipient, the value of the proposed subaward will be removed from the prime applicant’s award and will be provided to the laboratory through the DOE Field-Work Proposal System and work will be conducted under the laboratory’s contract with DOE. No administrative provisions of this FOA will apply to the laboratory or any laboratory subcontractor. Additional instructions for securing authorization from the cognizant Contracting Officer are found in Section VIII of this FOA. For ESMD relevant applications, it is required to include one or more E3SM team member(s) as a collaborator(s), either funded or unfunded. This is due to the rigorous development and fast evolving nature of the E3SM, therefore a close collaboration would facilitate the coordination and ensure most impactful research outcome. III.A.2.

Agency Name: Office of Science
Description: BER supports fundamental, interdisciplinary research to achieve a predictive systems-level understanding of Earth, environmental and biological systems. In particular, BER seeks to develop advanced mathematical methods and computational models for systems ranging from molecular to global scales and an ability to connect large and diverse datasets with models, which in turn enables more holistic and robust predictions of complex system behavior. More information on the BER program is available at https://www.energy.gov/science/ber/biological- and-environmental-research or https://science.osti.gov/ber.

This FOA focuses on supporting research within two components of BER’s EESM activities (https://science.osti.gov/ber/Research/eessd/Earth-and-Environmental-System-Modeling) within the Earth and Environmental Systems Sciences Division (EESSD): Earth System Model Development (ESMD), and Regional and Global Modeling Analysis (RGMA). The ESMD component focuses primarily on further development of the Energy Exascale Earth System Model (E3SM), while the RGMA component focuses primarily on scientific analysis based on E3SM as well as other Earth system models. Together, these activities broadly focus on the development, evaluation, and use of regional and global integrated Earth system models, to understand the behaviors and interactions between Earth systems and energy-related activities. The EESSD Strategic Plan (available at: https://climatemodeling.science.energy.gov/earth-and-environmental-systems-sciences-division-strategic-plan) describes research priorities and scientific grand challenges supported by these modeling activities. Further descriptions of the ESMD and RGMA activities and the topical areas of the solicitation are included below. The three specific topical areas of the FOA are described after the ESMD and RGMA descriptions.
