Molecular Science Computing FacilityResearch
The Molecular Science Computing Facility (MSCF) provides computational resources for projects in environmental molecular science basic and applied research areas that address the environmental problems and research needs facing the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the nation.
One of MSCF's focus areas is on large block allocations of computer time to Computational Grand Challenge Applications Projects. These projects can be for periods of one to three years. Proposals to the MSCF are open to all researchers, independent of funding sponsor.
Computational time on MSCF resources is also awarded through DOE's Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment (INCITE) program 
. Research supported by the INCITE program benefits a range of areas from energy to human health.
The INCITE Call for Proposals has recently been released with the deadline for proposals being Wednesday, August 8, 2007.
