NOTICE OF INTENT: Special Call for Aluminum & Steel Concept Papers
Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory announced that it intends to issue its sixth solicitation for the High Performance Computing for Manufacturing Program (HPC4Mfg). This special topic call will support primary and secondary steelmaking and aluminum production processes to help these industries become more competitive by solving key manufacturing challenges. Federal funding of up to $1.2 million is available to support up to four new awards. Eligibility for this program is limited to entities that manufacture aluminum and steel in the U.S. and the organizations that support them. All DOE national laboratories are eligible to participate in this program.
