Through its "research experiences for undergraduates." SuperQuest. postdoctoral, graduate fel- 

 lowship, educational and minority infrastructure programs, NSF addresses long term national 

 needs in HPCC. 



a DOE supports basic research to advance the knowledge of mathematical, computational, and 

 computer sciences needed to model complex physical, chemical, and biological phenomena 

 involved in energy production and storage systems. DOE also is actively involved in education 

 and training activities at all levels. 



3 NASA conducts basic research through NASA research institutes and university block grants, 

 including support at the graduate and postdoctoral level. 



3 NTH supports basic research and training in the use of advanced computing and network com- 

 munications. Predoctoral and postdoctoral grants for career training in medical informatics are 

 being expanded. 



C3 NOAA conducts basic research in computational fluid dynamics applications in atmospheric and 

 oceanic processes. 



QEPA sponsors targeted fellowships and basic research activities, and develops and evaluates 

 training methods and materials to support transfer of advanced environmental assessment tools 

 to Federal, state, and industrial sectors. 



Parmerships with industry, universities, and government help accomplish BRHR objectives. 



FY 1993 Accomplishments 



In FY 1993. more than 1 .000 research awards fund the following activities: 



a Basic research in high performance computational approaches to materials processing, molecu- 

 lar structures, fluid dynamics, and structural mechanics. 



Q Basic research on scalable parallel systems in fundamental areas of mathematical models, algo- 

 rithms, performance evaluation techniques, databases, visualization and multimedia computing, 

 digital libraries, and coUaboratory technologies. 



ta An increased number of computer and computational science and engineering postdoctoral 

 awards and graduate fellowships. 



a High school honors programs, teacher training programs and "research experience for under- 

 graduates" in HPCC. 



a The introduction of the computational science textbook, which involved 24 authors in 10 differ- 

 ent disciplines, into classrooms as part of a pilot project for Computer Science for High School 

 Teachers.
