Financial Assistance Solicitation No. DE-PS03-00SF22016, Nuclear Energy Research Initiative

摘要

The Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is interested in receiving applications for financial assistance through the award of grants and cooperative agreements, as appropriate, for innovative scientific and engineering research and development in the field of nuclear energy as part of the Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI). NERI is designed to support innovative research, primarily to address the principal technical and scientific obstacles to future use of nuclear power in the U.S. NERI is also intended to reinvigorate the vital nuclear scientific and engineering infrastructure within U.S. universities, industry and DOE national laboratories. The NERI program was initiated in Government Fiscal Year 1999, with awards for 46 projects, variously of 1 to 3 years duration. This Solicitation applies to the ``second round'' of the program, calling for new awards in Fiscal Year 2000. This Solicitation applies to applications from universities or other institutions of higher learning, industry, non-profit and R&D organizations, and collaborations among organizations, including those in which DOE national laboratories are participating,
