February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 5 BRAIN ULab M3 Molecules, Materials To Manufacturing (M3): Mortgages from M2D2; Computational Materials; Integrated Imaging Initiative(I3); EFRC preparation BRAIN initiative Universe as our Lab: Prepare for CMB-S4– sensors Enable CMB science/cosmology LDRD funded M3 & Ulab are lab wide strategic initiatives Initiatives and LDRD in FY16 -- this year LDRD funded--- there are others Current plan for FY17: continue the initiatives but re-align them; new directions, complete previous commitments/mortgages “BRAIN” will continue in FY17 as planned-- my assumption Timeline: February 8, ALD office will provide updated description of M3, Ulab Call for new proposals will go out February 15 March 24: discussion of initiative content & decisions ( Initiative review)

February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 6 ULab M3 Molecules, Materials To Manufacturing (M3): Mortgages from M2D2; Computational Materials; Integrated Imaging Initiative(I3); EFRC preparation Universe as our Lab: Prepare for CMB-S4– sensors Enable CMB science/cosmology Initiatives and LDRD in FY17 -- initial thoughts Evolution Phase out Phase out -- or minimal I3 becomes its own “institute” Continue New ideas directions Prepare for CMB-S4– sensors Enable CMB science/cosmology Add new directions -- new ideas from you There are reports from the advisory committees on long range plans for BES, HEP and NP Can be used for directions/guidance

February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 7 ULab M3 Molecules, Materials To Manufacturing (M3): Mortgages from M2D2; Computational Materials; Integrated Imaging Initiative(I3); EFRC preparation Universe as our Lab: Prepare for CMB-S4– sensors Enable CMB science/cosmology Initiatives and LDRD in FY17 -- initial thoughts Evolution Depends heavily on your ideas, suggestions and proposals Phase out Phase out -- or minimal I3 becomes its own “institute” Continue New ideas directions Prepare for CMB-S4– sensors Enable CMB science/cosmology Add new directions -- new ideas from you

February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 8 EFRCs

Current funded EFRCs February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 9 EFRC’s: ANSERCES CEES Center for Electrochemical Energy Science Center for Emerging Superconductivity Argonne Northwestern Solar Energy Research center MICCoM Computational Materials hub: Midwest Integrated Center for Computational Materials ( started FY15) List here for completeness. Officially not a center or hub, but in mind has that role and we should build on this in future Led by Argonne All three EFRCs have been renewed and are in their second phase. It is expected that there will be call for new EFRC proposals in a few months. Respond time will be short. No info on topics or areas to be covered Given current state Argonne it is anticipated that Argonne will at best get one

EFRC preparation for so far February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 10 We had a competition last fall to prepare for a possible call. Four areas were identified and proposals( slides) prepared, which could serve as the seed for new ideas. They were identified as possible candidates, if there would be a call in late 2015……. Which is now “early” Advanced Materials for the Energy-Water Nexus (AMEWN)- S.Darling et al Center for Advanced Combustion Kinetics- S.Klippenstein et al Hydrocarbon Clathrate Center* – A.Wagner et al Energy Efficient Systems Based on Graphene and other 2D Materials- A.Sumant et al * If submitted, it would go through Colorado School of Mines These are possible candidates. Some time has passed and there may be others……… There has been no discussion yet about how many Argonne should propose ……..

EFRC preparation for so far February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 11 As part of long range planning and part of M3 we also asked for proposals to develop EFRC ideas that would compete in expected call at end of Two were selected and are funded through M3 LDRD funds. Managing Emission and Thermal Absorption – P. Darancet et al Supported Single-Site Catalysts for the Selective Oxidation of Alkanes – S.Nguyen et al Funding for these would continue in FY17 to prepare for call that year

February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 12 BIG Ideas Al Sattelberger, Vivian Sullivan

The 2014 Summit resulted in eight Big Ideas: 1.Creating an Adaptive and resilient US Electric Grid 2.Adaptive Control of Subsurface Fractures and Fluid Flow 3.Accelerating Materials to Manufacture 4.Systems Integration: Accelerating the Clean Energy Future 5.Sustainable and Secure Water Management 6.Climate Change Science and Adaption 7.Nuclear Energy: Enabling Rapid Commercialization (influenced NE strategic plan) 8.Accelerating Sustainable Transportation The 2015 Summit resulted in six Big Ideas: 1.Sustainable Transportation (continued from 2014) 2.Energy-Water Nexus 3.Department of Defense Energy 4.Accelerating Materials to Manufacture (continued from 2014) 5.Chemical Conversion for Sustainable Energy 6.Urban Systems Science and Energy Big Idea Summit I & II Brown ideas funded in FY16 13

Timeline: 1.Big Idea white papers due February Big Idea workshop at Argonne in early March to select big ideas to put forth at the summit. 3.Big Idea red team meeting at Argonne in late March. 4.Big Idea summit in April in Washington, DC, hosted by DOE, date and location TBD. Big Ideas: 1.Cross multiple program areas 2.Involve work at multiple laboratories. 3.Have transformational aspirations (not business as usual) 4.Require funding over multiple years 5.Strong leadership – Labs, HQ programs, scientific Big Idea Summit III 14

February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 15 Early Career

Early Career competition Can we start this earlier this year, so we are prepared when the call comes out ? February 3, 2016; H.Weerts 16 We could have a pre-selection so people know in the summer or earlier to start working on proposals There is no good reason to wait until call comes out …….. Or ?
