FY 2017 Research Opportunities in High Energy Physics | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2017 Research Opportunities in High Energy Physics funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001604) is a discretionary Department of Energy Office of Science solicitation run through the Office of High Energy Physics (HEP). Its purpose is to invite both new applications and renewals for ongoing research programs that advance high energy physics, which broadly includes work aimed at understanding the fundamental constituents of matter and energy and the forces that govern them. In practical terms, this kind of programmatic call is designed to sustain and expand the U.S. research base in HEP by supporting university- and nonprofit-led teams that contribute to major experiments, theory efforts, advanced instrumentation, computing, and related R and D that aligns with DOE Office of Science priorities.

Awards under this opportunity may be made as either grants or cooperative agreements. A grant typically supports a defined research plan with standard federal oversight, while a cooperative agreement indicates DOE expects to be more substantially involved during the project, often because the work is closely tied to large facilities, coordinated experimental programs, or complex collaborations where ongoing agency coordination is helpful. The activity category is listed as science and technology and other research and development, and the program is associated with CFDA 81.049, which is the DOE Office of Science financial assistance program identifier commonly used for these research awards.

Eligibility is geared toward research-performing organizations rather than individuals. Eligible applicants include public and state controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations both with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education, where specified). This eligibility structure reflects how HEP research is usually organized in the U.S.: multi-year efforts anchored at universities and research nonprofits, often integrated into national and international collaborations.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was created on July 25, 2016, and the original closing date was September 20, 2016, positioning it as a FY 2017 competition in the DOE planning cycle. The solicitation indicates an expected total of about 180 awards, which signals a broad, portfolio-style funding approach rather than a small number of large projects only. The listed award ceiling is $100,000,000; in federal opportunity listings, that ceiling is often a maximum possible amount for an individual award or a high-end cap within the solicitation structure, and it does not necessarily imply typical award sizes. Given the expected number of awards, the funding is likely distributed across many projects of varying scale, from smaller single-investigator or small-group efforts to larger collaboration-driven projects that may support significant personnel, travel, computing, and specialized equipment needs.

Overall, the core message of the opportunity is straightforward: DOE HEP is seeking proposals to carry out high energy physics research, and it is open to both new projects and continued support of existing, productive lines of work. The combination of grant and cooperative agreement mechanisms, the large number of anticipated awards, and the high ceiling are consistent with a national research program that supports everything from fundamental theory through experimental participation and enabling technologies that keep U.S. researchers competitive and scientifically productive in the HEP landscape.
