DOE announces $26M for Research on Next-Generation Data Management and Scientific Data Visualization
The DOE has announced $26 million for research to advance scientific data management and visualization. Foundational research in data management will address challenges stemming from the increasingly massive data sets produced by scientific experiments and supercomputers. Innovative and intuitive data visualization approaches will support scientific discovery, decision-making, and communication based on that data.
A total of $13M will support research to optimize the management of massive amounts of data that must be moved and reproducibly analyzed using sophisticated mathematical techniques, including machine learning, in systems that provide both speed and flexibility.
A total of $13M will support research in new techniques and theory needed to aid in the development of informative and interactive visualization of complex scientific data of interest to DOE’s mission space — from those describing astrophysical and Earth systems to those describing advanced manufacturing processes and quantum systems.
Applications are open to universities, national laboratories, industry, and nonprofits, with awards of up to three years selected competitively based on peer review.
