Department of Energy EPSCoR (DoE)

Department of Energy

Positioned within the Office of Science at DOE, DOE EPSCoR assists the Office as the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States by supporting basic and applied research and development across a wide range of interdisciplinary program areas including:

• Advanced Scientific Computing Research
• Basic Energy Sciences
• Biological and Environmental Research
• Fusion Energy Sciences
• High Energy Physics and Nuclear Physics

Through two principal funding mechanisms Implementation Grants and EPSCoR-State/National Laboratory Partnership Grants, the goals of DOE EPSCoR are three fold:

• Improve the capability of designated states and territories to conduct sustainable and nationally competitive energy-related research.
   
  
• Jumpstart infrastructure development in designated states and territories through increased human and technical resources, training scientists and engineers in energy-related areas.
   
  
• Build beneficial relationships of designated states and territories with the 10 world-class laboratories managed by the Office of Science, leveraging DOE national user facilities and intellectual collaboration. Through broadened participation DOE EPSCoR seeks to provide the most comprehensive network of energy-related research across the nation.
