Department of Energy Announces $10 Million for Traineeships in
Computational High Energy Physics
<https://www.energy.gov/science/articles/department-energy-announces-10-mill…>
* $10 million in funding for three projects providing classroom
training and research opportunities in computational high energy
physics to train the next generation of computational scientists and
engineers needed to deliver scientific discoveries
* Research projects will partner students with DOE national labs to
help students develop hands-on research experience
* The projects include software development that requires detailed
knowledge and understanding of computing hardware systems
* Students will use and advance collaborative software environments
used to share tools and datasets in a coherent and efficient manner
for hundreds or thousands of scientific users. Students will also
develop software and algorithms that can take advantage of
increasingly parallel computing platforms either synchronously or
asynchronously
* The projects were selected by competitive peer review under the DOE
Funding Opportunity Announcement for DOE Traineeship in
Computational High Energy Physics
* The total funding is $10 million for projects lasting up to five
years in duration, with $1 million in Fiscal Year 2022 dollars and
outyear funding contingent on Congressional appropriations

Dear Tulika,
We are delaying the press release by one day to November 10. I expect
we'll be able to provide an embargoed copy of the press release tomorrow.
Best regards,

Dear all,
A few of us happened to be in DC for a workshop and had a quick chat about the summer workshop.
We discussed the following points
1. Possible date & venue:
— 1 week format July 24-28
— Held in Princeton, the week after the CODAS-HEP event (July 17-21) —> Note the idea would be for the TAC-HEP students to participate in CODAS-HEP (see https://codas-hep.org/ <https://codas-hep.org/> for more information)
— We expect several experts will be in the area because of CODAS-HEP and a differentiable programming workshop planned.
— Can benefit from the organization of logistics from the other events (dorm room reservations, etc)
— Note CODAS-HEP overlaps with Lepton-Photon, the proposed week for TAC-HEP overlaps with the ATLAS Physics week.
2. Some of the goals:
— Get mentors & mentees together —> this requires defining the R&D projects, identifying mentors, etc. For scientists from labs, we likely should try to make invitations well in advance due to travel approval procedures & work on finding additional travel support from other sources where possible for mentors.
— Include other non-technical aspects, such as soft skills, professional development, etc
— Develop materials for the two proposed summer modules (one is analysis facilities, tools, etc)
In particular for the proposed date & venue, please let us know what your thoughts are and check your calendars about availability.
In terms of the goals, this is just some initial brainstorming on a few points, we need to flesh things out and also gather inputs from everyone, this is mainly just to start to gather some points. Please let us know if you have inputs on this as well.
Please chime in if I missed something in this summary!
Best regards,
Verena, Tulika, Isobel & Pete
