Financial Assistance Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-PS02-06ER06-29
Rare Isotope Beam Capabilities The Office of Nuclear Physics (NP), Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for Research and Development (R&D) projects directed at rare isotope beam capabilities. A next generation facility for nuclear structure and astrophysics is under consideration to address emerging research opportunities in low energy nuclear physics, and DOE is sponsoring pre-conceptual R&D activities on next generation rare isotope capabilities. A companion Program Announcement to DOE Laboratories (LAB 06-29) will be posted on the Office of Science Grants and Contracts web site at: http://www.science.doe.gov/grants/. APPLICATION DUE DATE: October 24, 2006, 8 PM Eastern Time Applications must be submitted using Grants.gov, the Funding Opportunity Announcement can be found using the CFDA Number, 81.049 or the Funding Opportunity Announcement number, DE-PS02-06ER06-29. Applicants must follow the instructions and use the forms provided on Grants.gov. PROGRAM MANAGER: Dr. Manouchehr Farkhondeh, Office of Nuclear Physics
PHONE: (301) 903-4398 SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The DOE/National Science Foundation (NSF) Nuclear Science Advisory Committee's (NSAC) has been charged to perform an evaluation of the options for a next-generation facility in the United States for rare isotope beam studies with a report expected in March 2007. Additional information on rare isotope beam capabilities are outlined in the 1999 NSAC ISOL Taskforce Report that can be found at: http://www.sc.doe.gov/np/nsac/docs/ISOLTaskForceReport.pdf and the 2002 NSAC Long Range Plan for Nuclear Science at http://www.sc.doe.gov/np/nsac/docs/LRP_5547_FINAL.pdf Program Objective: Community sponsored studies and workshops have identified a number of areas where focused R&D and prototyping could enhance performance, reduce costs, and impact the engineering and construction schedule risk for a next generation facility. Examples of R&D studies aimed at a rare isotope beam facility can be at the following website: http://www.sc.doe.gov/np/program/riard.htm The proposed R&D should be generic and not site specific. Among the areas of potential R&D topics are:
Collaboration Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with researchers in other institutions, such as: universities, industry, non-profit organizations, federal laboratories and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), including the DOE National Laboratories, where appropriate, and to include cost sharing and/or consortia wherever feasible. All collaborators should be listed with the abstract or summary. Additional information on collaboration is available in the Application Guide for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program that is available via the World Wide Web at: http://www.science.doe.gov/grants/Colab.html.
