Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002743
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, through its High Energy Physics (HEP) program, is seeking proposals for a traineeship initiative focused on Computational High Energy Physics. The core goal of this opportunity is workforce development: building a strong pipeline of graduate-level talent with practical skills in software and computing as they are used in particle physics and closely related areas. Rather than funding standalone research projects, the program is designed to support structured academic training that prepares students to contribute effectively to modern HEP efforts where advanced computing, data handling, and software engineering are essential.
This funding opportunity (DE-FOA-0002743) is offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism, which typically means DOE expects an active partnership role during the project period compared to a standard grant. DOE anticipates making up to two awards total, with an award ceiling of $5,000,000. Awards are expected to run for up to five years, and the program may be renewable for a second term, signaling an interest in establishing durable, multi-year training programs rather than short, one-off efforts.
Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. Applications may come from a single university or from teams/consortia of universities, which allows institutions to pool expertise and build broader, more comprehensive traineeship structures. The funded traineeship programs are expected to cover key student support costs, specifically tuition, stipends, and travel for students who are enrolled in defined academic tracks aimed at computational training for HEP. In addition to direct student support, the DOE also allows modest funding for curriculum development and for program administration, recognizing that high-quality training programs often require coordinated course design, mentorship structures, and sustained management.
A central boundary of the opportunity is that it is not meant to fund dedicated research and development of new software or computing technologies. In other words, while students may learn and train using relevant tools and may engage with computationally intensive HEP contexts as part of their education, proposals should not be framed as research programs whose main deliverable is new HEP software or new computing technology. DOE notes that those kinds of technology-development efforts belong under the separate Computational HEP subprogram, not under this traineeship solicitation. This traineeship is therefore best understood as an education-and-training investment: strengthening graduate programs, building curricula, supporting students financially, and producing graduates equipped to advance particle physics through strong computational and software capabilities.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, with CFDA number 81.049, and it was originally posted on April 28, 2022 with an original closing date of June 30, 2022.Apply for DE FOA 0002743
