Purpose
Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) aims to build foundations for Office of Science (SC) research and training at institutions historically underrepresented in the SC research portfolio. RENEW leverages SC’s unique national laboratories, user facilities, and other research infrastructures to provide undergraduate and graduate training opportunities for students and academic institutions not currently well represented in the U.S. science and technology (S&T) ecosystem. The hands-on experiences gained through RENEW will open new career avenues for participants, forming a nucleus for a future pool of talented young scientists, engineers, and technicians with the critical skills and expertise needed for the full breadth of SC research activities. Principal Investigators, key personnel, and students and postdocs of RENEW awards will be invited to participate in ASCR researcher meetings and/or SC-wide professional
development and collaborator events.
The goal of ASCR’s RENEW program is to increase participation of underrepresented groups in the advanced scientific computing workforce and to increase participation of underrepresented institutions in advanced scientific computing workforce training. ASCR announces its interest in receiving applications for collaborative projects to enhance training opportunities for students and postdoctoral researchers from underrepresented groups and at institutions that are currently underrepresented in the ASCR portfolio such as non-R12 institutions of higher education and minority serving institutions, including Historically Black Colleges and Universities.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION
Program Objective
ASCR’s mission is to advance applied mathematics and computer science; deliver the most advanced computational scientific applications in partnership with disciplinary science; advance computing and networking capabilities; and develop future generations of computing hardware and software tools for science and engineering, in partnership with the research community, including U.S. industry. The ASCR program gives the science and technology community, including U.S. industry, access to world-class supercomputers and the tools to use them for science and engineering. ASCR accomplishes this by developing and maintaining world-class computing and network facilities for science; and advancing research in applied mathematics, computer science, and advanced networking.
