Description

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) on novel methods to produce radioactive or enriched stable isotopes needed for a wide variety of research and applications. This announcement is administered under the NP Isotope Development & Production for Research and Applications (IDPRA) Sub-Program. The proposed research and development should generate data relevant to isotope production or lead to new and innovative technologies, or improvements to existing technologies, to foster enhanced production of isotopes. Successful proposals will clearly describe how the outcome of the proposed work would support and enhance the production of isotopes used for research and applications in medicine, homeland security, the physical sciences, biological and geological sciences, energy, industry, etc. Applications incorporating effective ways to train personnel with essential knowledge and skills related to the production, processing, purification, and distribution of enriched stable and radioactive isotopes are strongly encouraged. A companion Program Announcement to DOE National Laboratories (LAB 16-1588) may be found on the SC Grants and Contracts web site at: http://www.science.energy.gov/grants. Proposals submitted to this FOA will be evaluated by peer review competitively with those submitted to the Laboratory companion announcement.
