DOE Announces up to $400M for Basic Research to Advance the Frontiers of Science

Annual Open Call Funding Announcement Covers Basic Energy Sciences, Biological and Environmental Research, Nuclear Physics, And More

The DOE has announced up to $400 million in funding for a range of research opportunities to support DOE’s clean energy, economic, and national security goals. The funding will advance the priorities of DOE’s Office of Science and its major programs, including Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Basic Energy Sciences, Biological and Environmental Research, Fusion Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, Isotope R&D and Production and Accelerator R&D and Production. This funding opportunity will help achieve the Biden Administration’s plan to employ science and innovation to tackle our greatest challenges.

The DOE Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “FY 2022 Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program” and informally known as the “Open Call,” is issued annually at the beginning of each Fiscal Year (FY). It provides a vehicle for the Office of Science to solicit applications for research support in areas not covered by more specific, topical FOAs that are issued by the office over the course of the Fiscal Year.
