Limiting Language
Applicant institutions are limited to no more than 1 letter of intent or proposal as the lead institution.   

There is no limitation to the number of proposals on which an institution appears as a subrecipient or for which the institution is not the lead in a multi-institution team using collaborative applications. 

Should DOE receive submissions in excess of the applicable limits, DOE reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to request additional or clarifying information to ascertain the institution’s intended submissions.  Otherwise, DOE will consider the latest received submissions to be the institution’s intended submissions. 

• Letters of intent in excess of the limited number of submissions will be discouraged. 
• Proposals in excess of the limited number of submissions will be declined without review. 

Executive Summary
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) program in Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) hereby announces interest in receiving applications to develop a concerted quantum computing verification and validation capability.  This effort should consist of interdisciplinary multi-institutional teams addressing the challenge of characterizing performance of fault-tolerant quantum computers that will accelerate scientific discovery and enable new computational workflows.  Successful efforts are expected to develop and apply a complete set of necessary tools and expertise to perform performance verification of fault tolerant quantum computers.  They should address multiple qubit technologies and be designed with enough flexibility to accommodate the rapidly evolving needs of the DOE. 

Proposed efforts should develop new and adapt existing tools for characterizing the quantum computing stack: physical hardware; quantum gates; logical quantum architecture; quantum algorithm and applications, and classical control. These teams will pave the way for the deployment of a first-of-a-kind scientifically relevant fault-tolerant quantum computing capability for the Nation, advancing DOE's mission, and ensuring America’s security, economic and scientific competitiveness, and prosperity.  Teams are encouraged to leverage the extensive scientific software, hardware, algorithms, and data resources developed under the ASCR and SC quantum-computing-related solicitations and by U.S. industry and academia.  The resulting tools, applications, and workflows may be integrated into the Genesis Mission infrastructure platform and the American Science Cloud for broad adoption by research communities. 

Proposed efforts must focus on the developing, testing, and applying algorithms, benchmarks, and software tools for real-world quantum systems.  Teams must validate their tools by demonstrating successful performance verification of the state-of-the-art quantum hardware.  Quantum hardware research and development efforts are out of scope, unless they are essential for tools development and validation.  ASCR anticipates that teams will engage in multiple quantum hardware evaluations in parallel across several qubit technologies, and the size and composition of the teams should be appropriate to meet this requirement.

Limiting Language
Centers may be included in only one application. Duplicate applications will be marked as ineligible.

Purpose
Through this CFP, RWJF will expand its efforts to transform deeply rooted beliefs about which data and research methods are valued, whose perspectives are prioritized, and which populations deserve resources. This CFP works to achieve transformation by incorporating a holistic funding approach that focuses on the infrastructure and capacity support that research centers need to meaningfully engage in research in the first place. RWJF understands that no single philanthropy can completely fill the gap left by ongoing federal funding cuts; however, this CFP demonstrates strong support for research, researchers, and research centers that are well positioned to pave the way toward a future where health is not a privilege, but a right.  

RWJF believes in health equity research that is grounded in systems thinking; supports and disseminates evidence identifying and implementing structural solutions to racial and health inequities; and increases power, representation, and agency among historically underrepresented researchers. By supporting the infrastructure and capacity-building needs of MSIs, this opportunity strengthens their ability to generate critical evidence and to cultivate transformative, actionable solutions toward health equity.  

This CFP seeks mission-aligned institutions interested in participating in cohort-style peer learning to advance their ability to engage in health equity research and apply for competitive funding opportunities in the future.

5. Innovative Nanomaterial Production - Q. Hao (Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering)

Limiting Language 
Each Topic constitutes a separate competitive opportunity under this solicitation authority. All eligible Offerors under this solicitation will be permitted to submit one proposal per Topic as the prime. Offerors submitting proposals under more than one topic shall submit a separate, complete proposal for each individual topic.

Overview
The purpose of this solicitation is to acquire technology maturation, risk reduction, and capability demonstration efforts in five technology areas that address lunar and cislunar infrastructure technology gaps. These efforts are intended to generate the knowledge foundation NASA needs to support informed technical and programmatic decisions. The scope of this solicitation is derived from NASA Space Technology’s Civil Space Shortfalls and focuses on near-term mission-relevant lunar and cislunar technology priorities. 

The Government is seeking innovative solutions in the following five technology areas (hereafter referred to as “Topics”): 

• Topic 1: Vertical Solar Array 
• Topic 2: In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) Oxygen from Regolith Production System 
• Topic 3: Radioisotope Stirling Generator System 
• Topic 4: In Space Advanced Manufacturing 
• Topic 5: Innovative Nanomaterials Production 

Each Topic constitutes a separate competitive opportunity under this solicitation authority. All eligible Offerors under this solicitation will be permitted to submit one proposal per Topic as the prime. Offerors submitting proposals under more than one topic shall submit a separate, complete proposal for each individual topic. 

These Topics are focused on technology and manufacturing maturation, as well as ground-based demonstration activities, to advance capabilities toward Technology Readiness Levels (TRLs) 5–6 and reduce technical, programmatic, integration and operational risk associated with future mission applications. 

Through this acquisition, industry partners will be expected to design, develop and demonstrate prototype systems and generate validated performance data, analytical models, and operational insights through testing and demonstration activities. These efforts should provide evidence necessary to assess system performance and reduce technical, programmatic, integration and operational risks.

NASA anticipates active collaboration with selected Offerors through ongoing Government insight and oversight activities to evaluate technical progress and support achievement of program objectives. Offerors are expected to apply independent scientific and engineering judgment in selecting approaches that best satisfy the objectives and outcomes identified for the Topic(s) to which they are proposing. 

Topic-specific attachments provide additional technical objectives, desired performance outcomes, scope considerations, and reference requirements (see Section 11 Attachments). Offerors are strongly encouraged to review the applicable attachment(s) in their entirety prior to preparing and submitting proposals.
