Research and Development for Next Generation Nuclear Physics Accelerator Facilities | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, Office of Nuclear Physics (NP) issued this funding opportunity to support research and development work that tackles key technical challenges standing in the way of next generation nuclear physics accelerator facilities. The central aim is to encourage R and D efforts that advance the underlying accelerator technologies, systems, and methods needed for future nuclear physics machines, rather than routine operations or incremental upkeep. The announcement makes clear that applicants should look to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) text for the specific scientific and technical topics of interest, required application elements, and detailed submission instructions, because those operational details are hosted externally on FedConnect.

This opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001082, titled "Research and Development for Next Generation Nuclear Physics Accelerator Facilities." It falls under a discretionary funding program and supports science and technology research and development activities. The award instruments listed are grants and cooperative agreements, meaning DOE may choose a standard grant for more investigator-directed work or a cooperative agreement where DOE expects to be more substantially involved during the project. The program is associated with CFDA 81.049, the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program, and it does not require cost sharing or matching, which can significantly lower the barrier to participation for universities, nonprofits, and industry teams that may not have funds set aside for a mandatory match.

Eligibility is broadly open: in general, all types of domestic applicants may apply, with a couple of notable exclusions. Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors are not eligible under this applicant track, and the FOA also excludes certain 501(c)(4) nonprofit organizations that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995. Aside from those limitations, the listing indicates an unrestricted applicant pool, subject to any additional clarifications that may appear in the FOA text itself. The announcement also notes that DOE National Laboratories would have a companion program announcement posted separately through the Office of Science grants and contracts site, signaling that labs and non-lab applicants may have parallel but distinct pathways for proposing related R and D work.

Key dates in the public listing show the opportunity was posted on February 11, 2014, created on February 20, 2014, and ultimately carried a current closing date of April 8, 2014 (revised from an original closing date of April 21, 2014). The archive date is July 8, 2014, indicating the window is long closed and the notice is retained for historical and reference purposes. The summary fields for estimated total funding and award floor/ceiling are listed as 0, which usually means the public abstract record did not provide funding amounts and that applicants needed to consult the full FOA text for actual budget expectations, the number of anticipated awards, and any limits on request size.

For access and submission, DOE directed applicants to FedConnect for the complete FOA and the grant application package instructions. The listing provides a FedConnect link to the FOA record and includes a point of contact for technical or electronic access issues: Manouchehr Farkhondeh, Technical Scientific Program Contact, at 301-903-4398 and manouchehr.farkhondeh@science.doe.gov. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as DOE Nuclear Physics signaling targeted investment in enabling accelerator R and D needed for future nuclear physics facilities, with broad eligibility, no cost-share requirement, and detailed topic and application requirements contained in the full FedConnect FOA document rather than the short synopsis.
