Hello Everyone: Below are the details about the internal pre-proposal process for the Office of Science Early Career Research Program. As noted below, for the internal process pre-proposals must be submitted by 5pm Friday, December 13 to Silvia Mulligan for ASCR. PIs will be notified of decisions by COB December 17. Also, a reminder, that if you plan to submit ECRP pre-proposal, please notify the appropriate POC based upon the target area: * Applied Math [ASCR areas (a) through (c)]: Stefan Wild * Computer Science [ASCR areas (d) through (g)]: Paul Hovland * Quantum Computing [ASCR area (h)]: Valerie Taylor The POCs will help with communication with the appropriate PM as well as identify a mentor and red team for the proposal review. Thanks, Valerie From: "Sullivan, Vivian S." <vivian.sullivan(a)anl.gov> Date: Tuesday, November 26, 2019 at 4:30 PM To: "Antonopoulos, Dionysios A." <dion(a)anl.gov>, "Habib, Salman" <habib(a)anl.gov>, Ian Foster <foster(a)anl.gov>, "Negri, Cristina" <negri(a)anl.gov>, "Papka, Michael E." <papka(a)anl.gov>, "Taylor, Valerie E." <vtaylor(a)anl.gov>, "Krumdick, Gregory K." <gkrumdick(a)anl.gov>, "Williamson, Mark A." <williamson(a)anl.gov>, "Brannegan, David K." <dbrannegan(a)anl.gov>, "Hillebrand, Donald Gerard" <hillebrand(a)anl.gov>, "Carlson, Dan" <dcarlson(a)anl.gov>, "Taiwo, Temitope A." <taiwo(a)anl.gov>, "Laurin-Kovitz, Kirsten" <klk(a)anl.gov>, "Byrd, John" <jbyrd(a)anl.gov>, "Connolly, John P, IV" <connolly(a)anl.gov>, "Lang, Jonathan C." <lang(a)anl.gov>, "Jenks, Cynthia J." <cjenks(a)anl.gov>, "Yoshida, Rik" <ryoshida(a)anl.gov>, "Petford Long, Amanda K." <petford.long(a)anl.gov>, "Arslan, Ilke" <arslan(a)anl.gov>, "Carpenter, Michael P." <carpenter(a)anl.gov> Cc: Rick Stevens <stevens(a)anl.gov>, "Hafidi, Kawtar" <kawtar(a)anl.gov>, "Sunderrajan, Suresh" <ssunderrajan(a)anl.gov>, "Clifford, Megan" <mclifford(a)anl.gov>, "Mulligan, Silvia P." <smulligan(a)anl.gov>, "Brettin, Thomas S." <brettin(a)anl.gov>, "Streiffer, Stephen K." <streiffer(a)anl.gov> Subject: Office of Science Early Career Research Program Division Directors, Please distribute this information to the Early Career staff in your Division. Individuals are eligible who have received their PhD in the past 10 years (2009 to present). Thank you, Vivian Sullivan -------------------------------------------------------- Colleagues, Thank you for your interest in the Early Career Research Program. The purpose of this e-mail is to provide information on the pre-proposal process and associated deadline dates. Information on the full proposal process and directions for the Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS) will be provided in later communications. Full information pertaining to the call can be found at https://science.osti.gov/early-career . The national laboratory announcement is LAB 20-2173: https://science.osti.gov/-/media/grants/pdf/lab-announcements/2020/LAB_20-2… . Please read the solicitation carefully and be aware of all aspects of the process that are required. Note that the research areas allowed under the call are quite specific for each program and sub-program and details are provided for each program in the solicitation. This information should be carefully scrutinized to ensure responsiveness to the FOA. First, please note that to participate in the Office of Science Early Career Research Program, submission of a pre-proposal is mandatory as part of the DOE process. To ensure that all submitted ANL pre-proposals are responsive to the Office of Science research topics and are of the highest quality, the Lab will conduct an internal screening process to determine which pre-proposals will be submitted, as follows: 1. Each PI interested in being considered for the program should identify and work with a mentor or set of mentors as they develop their pre-proposal. 1. Pre-proposals will be screened by the cognizant program point of contact (POC) in consultation with their respective ALD. Each interested PI is required to submit by e-mail a full pre-proposal, as specified in the solicitation to the area POC listed below, and Vivian Sullivan at vivian.sullivan(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>. In the e-mail submission of the pre-proposal, PIs should include the name of their mentor(s), the program area for the subject of the pre-proposal, and all other required information as listed in the solicitation. If a PI has previously submitted an unsuccessful ECRP proposal, they should also attach their previous reviews to the e-mail. Preproposals must be submitted by 5 pm Friday December 13, 2019. Note: Given that the holiday break will reduce the available time for feedback and revision, please be sure the format of the mandatory header (page 54) and the content and organization of the collaborators, advisors and advisees page (pages 54-55) meet the requirements of the call when you submit for review. Leave a space for the Laboratory Director’s signature. Feel free to reach out for a quick format check (vivian.sullivan(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> ) before you submit your final version. ASCR Silvia Mulligan for Mike Papka (smulligan(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>) BER Silvia Mulligan for Thomas Brettin (smulligan(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>) BES-MSE Amanda Petford-Long (petford.long(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>) BES sections a though j BES-CSGB Cynthia Jenks (cjenks(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>) BES sections k through u BES-SUF Ilke Arslan (arslan(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>) BES section v BES-SUF Stephen Streiffer (aps-director(a)aps.anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> ) BES sections w, x, y HEP Rik Yoshida (ryoshida(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]>) NP Mike Carpenter (carpenter(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> ) 1. A committee consisting of the Deputy for Science, ALD representatives and the program points of contact will review these pre-proposals, and select those that will go forward. PIs will be notified of decisions by COB December 17. 1. PIs who are notified of positive decisions will have an opportunity to make final improvements, and then must e-mail their final pre-proposals and all required information to Vivian Sullivan at vivian.sullivan(a)anl.gov<mailto:[email protected]> by COB Friday January 3. Final submission in PAMS will be done by OCF by the January 7th deadline. Information on PAMS will be provided separately.

Please get back to me ASAP if you want to help. If you use other email clients, e.g., Mac, Thunderbird (w/IMAP), it is very likely, if I am not wrong, that you will no longer have access to them in future (Linux users may want to think about this). Apparently all Labs have to go to MFA although individual solutions will vary. As part of due diligence re CPS needs. I'll be in touch with other organizations to see what they are implementing. Please send constructive comments to me.

Early Career FOA info
by Habib, Salman 26 Nov '19

26 Nov '19

Hi Everyone, If you are planning on writing an Early Career proposal, please let me know. The internal Lab deadline is Dec 13. Best Salman The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) has announced that it is accepting proposals for the DOE Office of Science Early Career Research Program to support the research of outstanding scientists early in their careers. Support will begin in 2020 for over 50 early career researchers for five years at U.S. academic institutions and DOE national laboratories. To be eligible for the competition, a researcher must be an untenured, tenure-track assistant or associate professor at a U.S. academic institution or a full-time employee at a DOE national laboratory. The applicant must also have received a Ph.D. within the past ten years. University awards average around $750,000 for five years. Early career researchers may apply to one of six Office of Science program offices, but I am writing particularly to encourage qualified candidates to apply to the High Energy Physics program. Proposed research topics must fall within the programmatic priorities of DOE’s Office of Science, which are provided in the program announcements. Funding will be competitively awarded on the basis of peer review. Preapplications are mandatory and are due on Tuesday, January 7, 2020. Full proposals will be due on Monday, March 16, 2020. Only those applicants that receive notification from DOE encouraging a formal proposal may submit full proposals. This is the eleventh year of an annual competition. Over the last ten years, an average of 40 university and 22 national laboratory awards have been initiated each year. On average, approximately 10 of the annual awards are made in the High Energy Physics program. The link to the Funding Opportunity for applicants from academic institutions is: DE-FOA-0002173<https://science.osti.gov/-/media/grants/pdf/foas/2020/SC_FOA_0002173.pdf?la…> The link to the Funding Opportunity for national laboratory applicants is: LAB 20-2173<https://science.osti.gov/-/media/grants/pdf/lab-announcements/2020/LAB_20-2…> Answers to frequently asked questions can be found at: Frequently Asked Questions<https://science.osti.gov/-/media/early-career/pdf/Early_Career_FAQ_FY2020_F…>
