DOE Announces $3 Million for High Performance Computing to Advance Clean Energy Manufacturing
The Advanced Manufacturing Office, in partnership with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, announced up to $3 million in available funding for the next round of the High Performance Computing for Manufacturing (HPC4Mfg) program. HPC4Mfg provides manufacturers access to the national laboratories' high performance computing capabilities to apply state-of-the-art modeling, simulation, and data analysis to address manufacturing challenges.
Register to attend an informational webinar to learn more about the HPC4Mfg solicitation on Monday, February 12 at 11 am PST/2 pm EST.
View the solicitation and submission instructions here. Concept papers are due by March 15, 2018.
Notice of Intent for Upcoming Funding for Flexible CHP for Grid Reliability and Resiliency
The Advanced Manufacturing Office intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “Flexible Combined Heat and Power (CHP) for Grid Reliability and Resiliency” in February 2018. It is anticipated that the FOA may include two areas of interest to research enabling technologies for CHP systems that are specifically designed to provide cost-effective support to the electric grid.
Learn more about this notice of intent, and look for an official FOA announcement next month.
DEADLINE APPROACHING: IACMI’s 2018 Internship Program— Feb. 12
Applications and supporting materials for AMO’s Institute for Advanced Composite Manufacturing Innovation (IACMI) Internship Program are due Monday, February 12, 2018.
The IACMI Internship Program offers undergraduate and graduate students a chance to participate in a research experience with an assigned mentor at one of IACMI’s partner sites. The experience provides a maximum of 400 hours of participation either in a 10 week short-term appointment or a long-term appointment spanning the course of one year.
