The ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) is a grant from the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science that funds access to time on DOE's leadership-class supercomputers, including Frontier, Aurora, Polaris, and Perlmutter. The program prioritizes high-risk, high-payoff scientific computing projects aligned with DOE mission areas, responses to national emergencies, and efforts to broaden access to advanced HPC resources. Eligible applicants include researchers from universities, industry, and government agencies; DOE sponsorship is not required. Allocation periods run for one year from July 1, 2026 to June 30, 2027, with the application deadline on November 1, 2026. Renewals of up to three years are possible. This is a compute resource allocation, not a cash grant.
ASCR Leadership Computing Challenge (ALCC) is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Leadership Computing Facilities.
