Submit Preproposals for ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge

 
Published: 20 November 2020

The Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) call for the 2021–2022 allocation year is now open.

The mission of the ALCC is to provide an allocation program for projects of interest to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) with an emphasis on high-risk, high-payoff simulations in areas directly related to the DOE mission, that respond to national emergencies, and for broadening the community of researchers capable of using leadership computing resources.

Open to scientists from the research community in industry, academia, and national laboratories, the ALCC program allocates 10% to 30% of the computational resources at ASCR’s three supercomputing facilities. These facilities are the National Energy Research Scientific Computing Center (NERSC) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and the Leadership Computing Facilities at Argonne and Oak Ridge National Laboratories.

ALCC grants one-year awards that are active from July 1 to June 30 of the following calendar year.

The current call requires a preproposal submitted by Monday, January 4, 2021, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern time. You will receive a decision on your preproposal by Friday, January 15.

If encouraged, full proposals are due Friday, February 26, at 5:00 p.m. Eastern.
