EFRC supports large, multidisciplinary teams conducting energy-relevant basic research, integrating experiment, theory, computation, and AI/ML across materials, chemical, geo, and biosciences.
The EFRC program brings together world-class teams of scientists from universities, DOE national laboratories, and other institutions to perform energy-relevant basic research with a scope and complexity beyond what is possible in single-investigator or small-group awards. These multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary centers accelerate transformative scientific advances for the most challenging topics in materials sciences, chemical sciences, geosciences, and biosciences. EFRCs integrate experiments, theory, computation, and AI/ML; develop innovative experimental and theoretical tools that illuminate fundamental processes in unprecedented detail; and create an enthusiastic, interdisciplinary, workforce of energy-focused scientists.
BES is soliciting applications in two general categories: BES Report Topics and Special Topics.
