Program Information:  The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Physics (NP) and Office of Science (SC) are seeking proposals for initiatives in Applications of Nuclear Science and Technology, aimed at research and development activities in nuclear science that are relevant to applications important to the Nation. The knowledge, data, techniques, and methods of nuclear science are utilized in a broad portfolio of applications, including energy, nuclear medicine, commerce, medical physics, space exploration, finance, geology, environmental sciences and national security.

Grant Information:  The primary goal of these initiatives is to pursue forefront nuclear science research and development important to the DOE NP mission and that is also relevant to applications. The Office of Nuclear Physics solicits innovative research and development applications that are relevant to basic nuclear science research goals, while simultaneously being relevant to existing or next-generation applications of nuclear science.

NOTE:  DOE is now requiring all financial assistance applications be submitted through the DOE e-center  (IIPS) .  All applications should be in a single PDF file.  DOE encourages transmitting your application well before the deadline.   Applicants will still need to visit the  Grants.gov   website to download the required application forms by clicking on "Apply for Grants" and searching for the Funding Opportunity Announcement.
