Objectives
(1) To focus on development and demonstration of modeling/simulation technologies and methodologies through the structure of Multidisciplinary Simulation Centers, Single-Disciplinary Centers, and Focus Investigatory Centers to solve open science and engineering problems relevant to NNSA Defense Programs missions; (2) to promote and sustain scientific interactions between the academic community and scientists at the NNSA laboratories; (3) and to train scientists in specific areas of long-term research relevant to NNSA stockpile stewardship.
Eligible applicants
Applicants (either prime or sub applicant) must be an institution of higher education in any state, federal district, or United States territory. Prime applicants must provide an educational program for which the institution awards a professional doctoral degree (e.g. Doctor of Philosophy or PhD).
Financial assistance range
$17M for each award for five project years ranging from mid-FY08 to mid-FY13 (under a one year no cost time extension, with $3.4M as the average annual award amount. The six PSAAP II Centers that started in FY14 received $4M each year for 5 years for three Multidisciplinary Simulation Centers (MSC) and $2M each year for 5 years for three Single-Discipline Centers (SDC). These same Centers received this money annually for 5 years. We renewed the PSAAP II Centers for an additional sixth year to receive awards out of FY19 funds. In FY20, we funded nine new PSAAP III Centers to begin Year 1 of their projects. Out of these nine Centers, four MSCs received up to $2.5M their first year, two SDCs received up to $1.5M in FY20, and three Focus Investigatory Centers (FICs) received an amount ranging between $200K and $1M starting in FY20. The nine Centers each began their 5-year cooperative agreement awards in FY20. Since Year 1, the four MSCs have been funded up to $3.5M per year, and the two SDCs have been funded up to $2M per year. Three FICs have been funded up to $1M per year.
