What the grant funds
The DOE SC program in High Energy Physics (HEP) hereby announces its interest in new applications for support of Artificial Intelligence Research for High Energy Physics. This FOA refers to research into and development of computational systems that take action to achieve a goal as Artificial Intelligence (AI) research and may include Machine Learning (ML) techniques as appropriate. This Announcement invites applications for AI research in three topic areas: AI research for HEP, HEP for AI research, and development of an HEP AI Ecosystem. The HEP program explicitly encourages applications from non-traditional HEP institutions and researchers that may broaden the participation in HEP research and the AI sub-field.
