CINR Funding Opportunity Announcement Released
The Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) has released the FY 2020 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research (DE-FOA-0002128). Official copies of the documents are available at grants.gov. Applications are to be submitted to neup.gov.
The Nuclear Science User Facilities (NSUF) has eight work scopes in the FOA:
- FC-2.5: NSUF Separate Effects Testing in TREAT using Standard Test Capsules
- NSUF 1.1: Testing of Advanced Materials for Sensors and Advanced Sensors for Nuclear Applications
- NSUF 1.2: Irradiation Testing of Materials Produced by Innovative Manufacturing Techniques
- NSUF 1.3: Nuclear Materials Discovery and Qualification Initiative
- NSUF 2.1: Core and Structural Materials
- NSUF 2.2: Nuclear Fuel Behavior and Advanced Nuclear Fuel Development
- NSUF 2.3: Advanced In-reactor Instrumentation
- NSUF 2.4: High Performance Computing at Idaho National Laboratory
NSUF 1 and 2 work scopes can be led by university, national laboratory, or industry principal investigators. FC-2.5 must be led by a university principal investigator. All NSUF 2 work scopes are access only and do not include research and development funding.
