The Office of Science is the basic scientific research arm of the Department of Energy, managing a research portfolio through six core program offices.
FOAs are published in the areas of
- Energy efficiency and renewable energy
- Fossil energy
- Nuclear energy, and
- Power grid, electricity delivery and energy reliability.
In addition, the Office of Science manages and supports additional programs and activities, including the Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists Program and the DOE Small Business Programs.
Department of Energy Laboratories (e.g., Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) provide unique opportunities for collaboration and may provide opportunities for limited research support.
The Office of Science also supports national user facilities that provide researchers with access to unique resources to conduct their research, including accelerators, colliders, supercomputers, light and neutron sources, as well as facilities for studying the nanoworld and the atmosphere.
