Based on the highly successful SRP@Berkeley Lab, Sustainable Research Pathways for High-Performance Computing (SRP-HPC) is designed to connect students from (and faculty working with) underrepresented groups* with Department of Energy (DOE) National Laboratory scientists to encourage lasting collaborations and jump start careers.
SRP-HPC is a partnership between Sustainable Horizons Institute and the DOE Exascale Computing Project (ECP), an aggressive multi-lab research, development, and deployment project focused on delivery of mission-critical applications, an integrated software stack, and exascale hardware technology advances.
Faculty Track
Faculty from a variety of institutions, including minority-serving institutions, liberal arts, and community colleges, working with students from underrepresented groups* are encouraged to apply.
Student Track
Undergraduate and graduate students at an accredited US academic institution have two ways to apply: 1) as part of a faculty application or 2) apply on your own.
