(b) GOALS.—The program shall have the goal of de-
veloping technologies and methods based on the biological
functions of genomes, microbes, and plants that—
(1) can facilitate the production of fuels, includ-
ing hydrogen;
(2) convert carbon dioxide to organic carbon;
(3) detoxify soils and water, including at De-
partmental facilities, contaminated with heavy met-
als and radiological materials; and
(4) address other Department missions as iden-
tified by the Secretary.
(c) PLAN.—
(1) DEVELOPMENT OF PLAN.—Not later than 1
year after the date of enactment of this Act, the
Secretary shall prepare and transmit to Congress a
research plan describing how the program author-
ized pursuant to this section will be undertaken to
accomplish the program goals established in sub-
section (b).
(2) REVIEW
OF
PLAN.—The Secretary shall
contract with the National Academy of Sciences to
review the research plan developed under this sub-
section. The Secretary shall transmit the review to
Congress not later than 18 months after transmittal
of the research plan under paragraph (1), along with
361
the Secretary’s response to the recommendations
contained in the review.
(d) USER
FACILITIES
AND
ANCILLARY
EQUIP-
MENT.—Within the funds authorized to be appropriated
pursuant to this subtitle, the amounts specified under sec-
tion 910(b)(1), (c)(1), (d)(1), (e)(1), and (f)(1) shall be
available for projects to develop, plan, construct, acquire,
or operate special equipment, instrumentation, or facili-
ties, including user facilities, for researchers conducting
research, development, demonstration, and commercial ap-
plication in systems biology and proteomics and associated
biological disciplines.
(e) PROHIBITION ON BIOMEDICAL AND HUMAN CELL
AND HUMAN SUBJECT RESEARCH.—
(1) NO BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH.—In carrying
out the program under this section, the Secretary
shall not conduct biomedical research.
(2) LIMITATIONS.—Nothing in this section shall
authorize the Secretary to conduct any research or
demonstrations—

SEC. 903. CATALYSIS RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PRO-
GRAM.
(a) ESTABLISHMENT.—The Secretary shall conduct
a program of research and development in catalysis
science, including efforts to—
(1) enable molecular-level catalyst design by
coupling 
experimental 
and 
computational 
ap-
proaches;
(2) enable nanoscale, high-throughput syn-
thesis, assay, and characterization; and
(3) synthesize catalysts with specific site archi-
tectures.
(b) PROGRAM ACTIVITIES.—In carrying out the pro-
gram under this section, the Secretary shall—
(1) support both individual researchers and
multidisciplinary teams of researchers to pioneer
new approaches in catalytic design;
(2) develop, plan, construct, acquire, or operate
special equipment or facilities, including user facili-
ties;

SEC. 904. HYDROGEN.
The Secretary shall conduct a program of funda-
mental research and development in support of programs
authorized in titleVIII.
SEC. 905. ADVANCED SCIENTIFIC COMPUTING RESEARCH.
The Secretary shall conduct an advanced scientific
computing research and development program, including
in applied mathematics and the activities authorized by
the Department of Energy High-End Computing Revital-
ization Act of 2004 (15 U.S.C. 5541 et seq.). The Sec-
retary shall carry out this program with the goal of sup-
porting departmental missions and providing the high-per-
formance computational, networking, and workforce re-
sources that are required for world leadership in science.
SEC. 906. FUSION ENERGY SCIENCES PROGRAM.
(a) DECLARATION OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy
of the United States to conduct research, development,
demonstration, and commercial application to provide for
the scientific, engineering, and commercial infrastructure
necessary to ensure that the United States is competitive
with other nations in providing fusion energy for its own
needs and the needs of other nations, including by dem-
onstrating electric power or hydrogen production for the
United States energy grid utilizing fusion energy at the
earliest date possible.
