Funding Notice: Over $10 Million Available for High-Performance Computing Innovation Program

All U.S.-based SMMs are eligible to apply, in partnership with universities, institutes, and other non-profit organizations. Selected teams will work with staff from one or more DOE National Laboratories to advance their material designs and solve their manufacturing challenges.

DOE's High-Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) program, part of the High-Performance Computing for Energy Innovation (HPC4EI) initiative, is funded by both DOE's Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO) and Industrial Technologies Office (ITO). HPC4EI is managed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Visit the HPC4EI website for additional information.

Applicants must submit concept papers by May 27, at 5:00 p.m. PT to be eligible for full applications.

Topics

Topic Area 1: CMEI's Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO)

Proposals for AMMTO should demonstrate credible pathways to advancing American manufacturing competitiveness, improving supply chain security, enhancing energy system reliability, and creating high-quality domestic jobs.

Areas of interest include the development of:

• Advanced materials to improve the performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness of energy systems and technologies.
• Manufacturing processes to strengthen U.S. industrial competitiveness and energy security.

Topic Area 2: CMEI's Industrial Technologies Office (ITO)

Proposals for ITO should demonstrate potential to strengthen global competitiveness of the U.S. industrial sector, reduce the energy intensity of industrial processes, improve the reliability of energy infrastructure, and onshore industrial excellence.

Areas of interest include the development, optimization, scale-up, and integration of:

• Technologies that significantly improve productivity optimization in energy-intensive industries to bolster manufacturing competitiveness.
• Equipment and processes that improve industrial process heating, including reducing cost, improving efficiency, or enhancing product quality.

Who can Apply?

Eligibility is limited to U.S. manufacturers. U.S. universities, institutes, and other non-profit organizations are also eligible to participate as collaborators. The solicitation encourages applicants to partner with a range of universities, community colleges, and non-profit organizations.
