Opportunity Summary:
The FY2014 Research Opportunities in High Energy Physics grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000948) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science funding announcement that supports research aimed at understanding the universe at its most fundamental level. The High Energy Physics (HEP) program frames this mission around identifying the basic building blocks of matter and energy, measuring and explaining the forces and interactions among them, and probing foundational questions about space and time. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to fund work that advances particle physics through experiments, theory, accelerator advancements, and detector innovation.
The announcement invites grant applications across six targeted research areas that reflect the major directions of the HEP field. First, Experimental Research at the Energy Frontier focuses on studying fundamental physics by reaching the highest possible energies, typically through large collider-based experiments designed to produce and observe rare particles and high-energy phenomena. Second, Experimental Research at the Intensity Frontier emphasizes extremely high-intensity beams and precision measurements to reveal subtle effects and rare processes, often providing indirect but powerful tests of fundamental theories. Third, Experimental Research at the Cosmic Frontier supports investigations that use the universe itself as a laboratory, including studies tied to cosmology and astrophysical observations that inform particle physics, such as dark matter and related cosmic signals. Fourth, Theoretical Research covers the development of models, calculations, and interpretive frameworks that explain known results, guide new measurements, and connect experimental findings to deeper physical principles. Fifth, Accelerator Science and Technology Research and Development targets the tools that make frontier experiments possible, supporting improved accelerator concepts, performance, reliability, and next-generation technologies. Sixth, Particle Detector Research and Development supports advances in the instruments used to detect and measure particles, including new sensor technologies, readout systems, reconstruction approaches, and improvements that increase sensitivity, resolution, speed, or radiation tolerance.
Administratively, this is a discretionary funding opportunity using the grant instrument type, categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The CFDA listing is 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program). Cost sharing or matching is not required. The opportunity was posted on June 24, 2013, with an application deadline of September 9, 2013, and an archive date of December 9, 2013. The synopsis data lists estimated total funding and award floor/ceiling as 0, which typically indicates that specific funding levels and award sizes are detailed in the full FOA rather than in the summary listing.
Eligibility is limited despite the “unrestricted” label in the general field. Applications are accepted only from regionally accredited U.S. academic institutions and domestic nonprofit organizations that qualify under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, with any additional nuances spelled out in the FOA text. The complete announcement and the step-by-step instructions for completing the grant application package are provided through FedConnect at the link included in the posting.
