Description
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) invites applications for its FY 2025 Financial Assistance Program, the agency’s annual open call for basic research across all SC program areas. This opportunity funds a broad spectrum of fundamental research in the physical sciences, energy, environment, advanced computing, fusion, high energy and nuclear physics, isotope R&D, and accelerator science. The program also supports the development and operation of major scientific user facilities and tools, and encourages both single-PI and large, multi-institutional team projects.
Research areas include:
- Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR)
- Basic Energy Sciences (BES)
- Biological and Environmental Research (BER)
- Fusion Energy Sciences (FES)
- High Energy Physics (HEP)
- Nuclear Physics (NP)
- Isotope R&D and Production (DOE IP)
- Accelerator R&D and Production (ARDAP)
The solicitation is open throughout the fiscal year, with specific deadlines for certain topics and review panels. Applications may be submitted at any time, but some areas require or strongly encourage pre-applications by set dates.
