FY 2014 BES Budget Appropriation FY 2014: $ 1,712M (+116M from FY 2013 -$150M from FY 2014 Request) Facilities Ops 779 MSE Research 269 CSGB 240 Light Sources 432 Neutron Sources 246 NSRCs 101 EFRCs + Hubs 148 SBIR/STTR, LTSM & GPP 63 SUF Research 29 Const, OPC, MIE Research programs Energy Innovation Hubs & Energy Frontier Research Centers are funded at FY 2013 levels Core Research nearly flat with FY 2013 (+$6M) EPSCoR (~$10M) Full funding of financial assistance awards of $1M or less. Scientific user facilities Facilities at ~97% of optimal operations NSLS-II early ops ($56M) 184 Construction and instrumentation Construction and MIE projects are funded at optimal or near-optimal levels: National Synchrotron Light Source-II ($53.7M) and NEXT instrumentation ($25M) Advanced Photon Source upgrade ($20M) Linac Coherent Light Source-II ($85.7M)

Implementing Full Funding Awards Beginning immediately, DOE/SC will implement full funding of multi-year grants and/or cooperative agreements with total cost of $1M or less. “Full funding” means funds for the entire award for the project period is obligated at the time the award is made, instead of funding year-by-year. Process for full funding applies to new, renewal, or supplemental grant awards. Grants and cooperative agreements with a total cost of more than $1M, integrated over the project period, are exempt from the full funding requirement. There will be no change to how an applicant applies for a grant or cooperative agreement, nor will there be changes to the merit review process. BES Program Managers will continue to have oversight of the research program by requiring PIs to submit an annual progress report that must be approved by the BES prior to any funds being accessed by the PI the following year.

EFRC Recompetition in FY2014 The initial 46 EFRCs were funded for 5-years beginning in FY 2009: 30 EFRCs were funded annually at about $100M; 16 were fully funded by Recovery Act support Solicitation will request both renewal and new EFRC applications including: Areas of energy-relevant research identified by recent BES and BESAC workshops Research to advance the rate of materials and chemical discovery Mesoscale science Selection of awards will be based on rigorous peer review of applications of the proposed research Renewal awards will include assessment of the progress during the first 5-year award Renewal and new awards will maintain a balanced EFRC portfolio for grand challenge and use-inspired energy research 6

FY 2015 Budget Request BES: 1,806,500K (Increase of 5.5% compared to FY14 enacted) AMOS: $19,022K (Increase of 0% compared to FY14 enacted) FY15 Budget request for AMOS: “Research will continue to develop and apply forefront ultrafast x‐ray and optical probes of matter, utilizing the LCLS, BES synchrotron light sources, and table‐top laser‐based ultrafast light sources, all aimed to advance fundamental understanding. Concomitant advances in theoretical methods will be sought to guide and interpret ultrafast measurements and for predicting ultrafast phenomena. Increased emphasis will be placed on time‐resolved x‐ray probes of matter at unprecedented short time scales and in systems of substantial complexity. These will include non‐linear x-ray phenomena, structural determinations for individual molecules and particles, and time‐resolved imaging to record complex chemical and biochemical phenomena.”
