HEP Funding Opportunities


Research Support - Priorities


Research budgets: Support scientists on all phases of an experiment

Priority – to support effort to plan and carry out priority science topics on our experiments, i.e. need to make sure the science it was designed for is carried out!• Support research efforts directly in line with program & project priorities, responsibilities &

science goals

• Distribution of efforts across areas will necessarily change to support changing priorities• Sufficiently support the Science Collaborations (HEP model) to carry out experiment in all

phases - project’s design, fabrication and operations & to plan and carry out data analyses to deliver the best science

Priority Areas:Dark Matter :

Complete G1 analysis; construct and plan G2 experiments, modest future R&DDark Energy :

DES operations & analysis; construct and plan LSST and DESICMB: Begin planning for CMB-S4

Not funded in our program: Support for gravitational waves, astronomy, planet searches, ions, AMO, etc.

Research Support – Focus & Method


DOE is a science mission oriented agency. The projects are selected for the (P5) strategic plan that will provide significant leaps in science. Then we support the community to carry out these projects/experiments.

• Priority is to support experiments in our program, where we have responsibilities

• Therefore, not all Cosmic Frontier-related research will be supported.

“Cosmic Frontier” is Experimental Research at the Cosmic Frontier.

Review panels look to see close engagement within the experimental collaborations, with significant roles. General cosmic research can be proposed to the HEP Theory program.

Research Priorities for funding, aligned with P5 Keep efforts continuing at about current level for operating experiments;

Ramp-down research for ones completing; Ramp-up for the projects in fabrication or planning phase, depending on needs Prepare for the future but need to complete currently operating projects

successfully

Research Support – Activities


What DOE supports Research efforts (mainly scientists) on R&D, experiment design, fabrication,

data-taking, analysis-related activities Theory, simulations, phenomenology, computational studies Some engineering support may be provided in the Detector R&D subprogram Support depends on merit review process and programmatic factors Funding efforts that are in direct support of our programs

Faculty support Typically, the full research time of the faculty member throughout the whole year is supported

by providing 2 months summer salary and support for the group. Summer support should be adjusted according to % time the faculty is on research effort

Research Scientists Efforts are related towards research; not long-term operations and/or project activities Consider case-by-case on merits: could the research be fulfilled by a postdoc?

× What’s not supported by research grants Any significant operations and/or project-related activities: Engineering, major items of equipment, consumables for prototyping or production Non-HEP related efforts Gravitational waves (LIGO), Astronomy, Heavy Ion (RHIC), AMO Science, etc…

Funding for theory/simulations/phenomenology/computational efforts in direct support of our experiments is in Cosmic – otherwise should be proposed to the Theory program.

University Grants – working in the program


Typical HEP researcher: • Has an experimental program that may involve analysis on one experiment while

constructing the next experiment.• Makes long term commitments to our experiment/project/science as a closely integrated

member of the collaboration. • He/she has specific commitments (service work) & responsibilities for our

projects/experiments that may include analyzing data with one experiment while constructing or planning the next one – in addition to the science analysis. These responsibilities may evolve over time as the experiment progresses through phases.

-- Not funded for one particular study or effort here and there

In your proposal: • Explain your long term program (past 3 years), how it progresses over time & how pieces fit together.• Details on what you’re doing the next 3 years, your responsibilities and efforts, why they’re important to the project/experiment and why they’re important and a priority NOW.• Explain what fraction of time you’re working on each effort (whether or not HEP funded)

University Grants – New Efforts


Universities: Model for starting to work in the field & get a grant:• Get involved in experiment/science and take on responsibilities for the collaboration and then submit proposal.

•Have involvement in the community so that you are part of the HEP community! (e.g. DPF meetings)

• Lot of science topics may be in dark energy plan or related to dark energy but need to think of what is the priority & main efforts needed and which are needed now!

• Have responsibilities for the experiment – not just your own science simulations & analysis.

•Many people have program working on a series of experiments (e.g.) DES operations/analysis while participating in LSST planning and construction. Not all has to be funded by HEP!

•Show track record and have responsibilities before funding starts.

•Transitioning to a new project/field requires a lot of work to get up to speed.- best for faculty member to take the time to really learn the field and take on responsibility first

Comparative Review


Comparative Review: head-to-head reviews of PIs working in similar areas

Lots of discussion of relative strengths and weaknesses of individual proposals and PIs

Many factors weigh into final funding decisions Compelling research proposal for next ~3 years

Interesting? Novel? Significant? Plausibly achievable?

Incremental? Implausibly ambitious? Poorly presented?

Significant recent contributions in last ~3 years

Synergy and collaboration within group (as appropriate)

Contributions to the research infrastructure of experiments

Alignment with programmatic priorities

Implicit Bias awareness

Supportive of excellent research, including excellent research by new people, even when times are tough!

Corollary: Some proposals, including some from senior personnel, ranked below average may not be funded. No old history/entitlement.

FY19 HEP Comparative Review FOA & FAQ

DE-FOA-000xxxx issued TBD

Letter of Intent (strongly encouraged) due: TBD

Final Proposal deadline: TBD

In addition to the FOA, a FAQ is available

Contact your program manager if your question is unanswered

26

Both the FOA and FAQ are planned to be available at: http://science.energy.gov/hep/funding-opportunities/

Please read the FOA carefully to comply with all requirements prior to submitting a proposal.


Non-compliant proposals submitted to the FOA will not be reviewed!

In recent years, ~10% of incoming proposals are declined without review.

Requirements most often missed or overlooked include: Data management plans, page limits, separate budget sheets (if needed) for each research subprogram or thrust, and inclusion of Personally Identifiable Information (PII)

Recent FOA Changes

All Research proposals to DOE/SC must have a Data Management Plan (DMP) Includes HEP comparative review and Early Career, but not conferences, workshops,

operations, projects

Any research thrust in a proposal without a DMP will be declined without review

All Renewal proposals must submit “proposal products” (publications, etc.) after the application is submitted PIs will be notified by PAMS and have 5 days to respond

We cannot review incoming proposals until this step is completed

These will eventually be captured with your annual Progress Report, but must be entered by hand during the transition phase

Recurring Submissions of Research Applications (new in FY 2018): “A previously declined application may be resubmitted to this FOA, but only after it has

undergone substantial revision. An application submitted to this FOA that has not clearly taken into account the major concerns from prior DOE reviews may be declined without review and will not be considered for funding.”

All FOAs have different eligibility, technical requirements, page limits, etc. Read the instructions carefully!


Office of Science Data Management Plan

Focus of the SC Digital Data Management is the sharing and preservation of digital research data Data management involves all stages of the digital data life cycle including

capture, analysis, sharing, and preservation

See Dr. Laura Biven’s presentation on SC Digital Data Management, Sept. 2014 HEPAP meeting: http://science.energy.gov/hep/hepap/meetings/201409/

FOAs issued by HEP require Data Management Plan (DMP) compliance with the SC Statement

SC statement on DMPs: http://science.energy.gov/funding-opportunities/digital-data-management/

See Section IV, the subsection on Appendix 8 of the FOA, for requirements pertaining to DMPs that must be included in your application

Most experiments have developed DMPs for their collaborations When applying for financial assistance (universities) or submitting FWPs (labs),

PIs can cite the DMPs for their experiments with the appropriate links

If DMP cited, PIs must briefly describe how proposed research relates to the experiment

Theorists need DMPs: explain how theoretical/simulated data can be accessed/validated

If there is no data of any sort generated by the proposed research, the DMP must state this. A DMP that is blank or states “not applicable” is not acceptable

Each research thrust in a proposal requesting DOE research support, including the FY 2019 Comparative Review FOA, require addressing the DMP requirements for it to be reviewed, and hence, to be considered for funding

HEP is executing the P5 plan and delivering science Congress is supportive of the P5 plan and its success has impact

FY19 funding opportunities are anticipated to progress the same as FY18

FY 2019 Budget is in process Both President’s Request and Congressional Marks are not law

Fiscal budget is only known when Congress passes an appropriation and the President signs the bill

As P5-recommended projects ramp up, including those for the HL-LHC accelerator and detector upgrades and the U.S.-hosted international neutrino program, funding increases may actually put pressure on research funding. P5 believed this must be kept in balance.

DOE HEP Science Portfolio Review (2017-2018)

HEPAP was charged (Oct. 2017) to carry out a Portfolio Review

-- Modeled on NSF Portfolio Review and NASA Senior Reviews

What, How: Independent peer review of currently operating experiments supported by HEP

Overarching goal is to maintain and optimally execute the P5 plan Will focus on scientific impact and productivity of HEP-supported contributions with narrow

emphasis on P5 science drivers. HEP will use the results to define a detailed implementation plan for P5 strategic vision in the

FY19 to FY22 timeframe HEP will ensure that key officials in institutions or agencies that are partners in operating

experiments are apprised of the plans, results and program decisions. It is understood that many experiments have a much broader, high priority science

program than the P5 science drivers!

Experiments reviewed: Includes all currently-supported HEP experiments that have operated at least two years, and

are continuing significant DOE-supported research &/or operations efforts in 2019 and beyond. There are 2 separate subpanels:

1. LHC subpanel is chaired by Dr. Hugh Montgomery & covers ATLAS and CMS2. “Main” subpanel is chaired by Professor Paul Grannis and covers • 5 Cosmic Frontier experiments (Fermi-GLAST, AMS, HAWC, DES, eBOSS)• 8 Intensity Frontier experiments (Daya Bay, K0TO, MicroBooNE, Minerva, NA61/SHINE,

NOvA, SuperK, T2K)

Portfolio Review – Draft main reoprt

Draft report was presented and accepted at the May 2018 HEPAP meeting https://science.energy.gov/~/media/hep/hepap/pdf/201804/Main_Panel_Report.pdfhttps://science.energy.gov/~/media/hep/hepap/pdf/201804/PGrannis_HEPAP_201805.pdf

We summarize the definitions of the groups and the subpanel’s recommendations for the 13 experiments. The ordering within a group is alphabetical.

Group I (Experiments that should be pursued with highest priority): DES, eBOSS, NOvA, T2K

Group II (Experiments with outstanding promise and relevance to the P5 Science Drivers, but whose funding could be reduced somewhat in the event of severe budget shortfalls): HAWC, MINERvA, NA61/SHINE

Group III (Experiments that address the P5 Drivers in important ways, but for which a reduction in funding would cause less harm to the DOE/HEP program than in the case of Groups I or II): Daya Bay, Fermi/LAT, MicroBooNE, SuperK

Group IV (Experiments that require further demonstration of likely success, or whose future program is less effective in advancing the P5 Science Drivers): AMS, KOTO

Basic Research Needs Workshops (BRNs)

SC’s Office of Basic Energy Sciences initiated this approach with the Basic Research Needs to Assure a Secure Energy Future workshop in October 2002. This resulted in a comprehensive, 420-page report that identified 37 Proposed Research Directions. http://science.energy.gov/bes/community-resources/reports/.

Numerous (~20) subsequent topically-focused BRNs have helped to define directions and make the case for major new efforts such as Energy Frontier Research Centers and Innovation Hubs

While there are some variations and there has been

some evolution, many BRNs have involved:

Production of a Technology Perspectives Factual Document prior to the workshop

Definition of a set of Priority Research Directions that address the technology R&D challenges

Definition of a set of Science Grand Challenges that, if solved, might result in transformational changes

DOE/HEP, DM-BRN 41

http://science.energy.gov/bes/community-resources/reports/

BRN process and structure

Targeted topics defined by, and workshop charge issued by, SC program office

Attendance is limited and by invitation only

Participants have considerable work to do before, during, and after the meeting

Workshop Chair and Co-Chairs develop agenda and select panel/working groups leads (with program office input)

Typical structure: Opening plenary sessions, panel/working group breakout sessions that develop priority research directions, closing plenary session, and extended writing session – draft report completed before departure!

Prompt output: final report released typically 60-90 days after the workshop

DOE/HEP, DM-BRN 42

BRN impacts

BRN reports are expected to serve as reference documents with a long shelf life, and to be readily accessible

Post-workshop outreach activities often include communication of the results to the broader community by co-chairs and the SC program, and briefings by federal staff to other interested federal parties (within and beyond DOE)

BRNs may, individually or collectively, serve as the basis for subsequent funding opportunities. Examples:

The 2003 workshop report on Basic Research Needs for the Hydrogen Economy was referenced in and supported an FY2004 solicitation on Basic Research for the Hydrogen Fuel Initiative.

An FY2007 FOA on Basic Research for Advanced Nuclear Energy Systems was based directly on the corresponding BRN, stating specifically that “The workshop report is a current source of information and summarizes the interests of BES.”

The original FY2009 solicitation for the Energy Frontier Research Centers (up to $100M/yrtotal) centered on the 11 BRNs that SC-BES had held to date.

An FY2011 FOA from Fusion Energy Sciences on High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas specifically sought applications addressing the research needs identified by the Basic Research Needs for High Energy Density Laboratory Physics workshop report and two prior reports.

The most recent FY2018 Energy Frontier Research Centers FOA (up to $98.9M/yr total) requires that applications address Priority Research Directions in one or more of 12 reports, 11 of which were BRNs.

HEP Program Optimization

HEP has undertaken several steps recently to help further optimize program plans and budgets (for more details on the

following, see Nov. 2017 and May 2018 HEPAP talks)

Lab Optimization

Portfolio Reviews

Basic Research Needs workshops

Accelerator Technology Roadmaps

Computing Infrastructure Working Group

Taken together these processes aim to: Improve the effectiveness and efficiency of HEP research programs and

supporting technology infrastructure

Identify currently operating experiments that have the highest impact on P5 science drivers

Identify research and technology R&D areas that are ripe for additional investments

DOE/HEP, DM-BRN 44

HEP Small Projects Portfolio

HEPAP P5 Strategic Plan (2014), recommended • Balanced Program (maintain diversity of project scales in the program, i.e. ensuring small projects too)

• The search for dark matter particles as high priority science

HEP has funded a number of “small projects” and will continue to pursue timely physics opportunities with new experimental technique Long list includes COHERENT, ADMX-G2, HPS, …

Intermediate Neutrino Research Program workshop and FOA enabled PROSPECT, ANNIE

Future Basic Research Needs (BRN) workshops may help define and prioritize additional opportunities for small project investments• Potential topic areas include: accelerator applications (compact accelerators), Dark Matter, detector R&D

DOE/HEP, DM-BRN 45

HEP Basic Research Needs Study – Dark Matter New Initiatives (DM-BRN)P5 recommended the search for dark matter particles as high priority science & to maintain a diversity of project scales in HEP (i.e. ensuring small projects too)

Stage A: Background: March 2017 community workshop held to determine & identify scientifically compelling areas to search and whether there are possible concepts for new experiments or studies to address these. See White Paper: https://arxiv.org/abs/1707.04591

Stage B: HEP has started a DM New Initiatives BRN Study (2018-2019) to Assess the science landscape for dark matter particle searches, AND Identify which high impact science areas would be suitable to be pursued with

small projects in the HEP program (i.e. that need HEP infrastructure and capabilities).

• DOE-HEP has issued “charge” letter. • Co-Chairs are organizing BRN study efforts.• Working groups have been formed/ conveners selected• BRN study will culminate in a workshop will be Oct 15-18 in Gaithersburg, MD.• The BRN’s compelling report will make the science case for HEP new initiatives for small DM project(s).

What it’s not:• The BRN is not an official advisory (FACA) panel; no consensus or official recommendations • It doesn’t make priorities, #1, 2, 3 (but can group high impact priority areas)• It won’t consider or set specific priorities on which projects to or carry out.

Stage C+: Depending on the case made and funding availability, next step would be a FOA to call for concept studies and near-term technology R&D that respond to high impact opportunities in the BRN, followed by development of small project(s).
