OpportunityTitle: FY2019 Research Opportunities in Accelerator Stewardship
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All types of domestic applicants are eligible to apply, except nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995.In accordance with 2 CFR 910.126, Competition, eligibility under each Track is restricted as follows:Track 1: Accelerator Stewardship Topical AreasApplications for activities in Track 1: Accelerator Stewardship Topical Areas will be accepted from all responsible domestic organizations capable of meeting the objectives of this FOA, with the exception of DOE National Laboratories. DOE National Laboratories are advised of the existence of a companion announcement, LAB 19-2069, available at https://pamspublic.science.energy.gov.Track 2: Long-Term Generic Accelerator R&amp;DApplications for activities in Track 2: Long-Term Generic Accelerator R&amp;D will only be accepted from regionally-accredited U.S. academic institutions or domestic nonprofit organizations subject to section 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code.Track 3: Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility ProgramApplications for activities in Track 3: Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Program will be accepted from all responsible domestic organizations capable of meeting the objectives of this FOA, with the exception of DOE National Laboratories. Partnering DOE National Laboratories must submit their collaborative proposal to the companion announcement, LAB 19-2069, available at https://pamspublic.science.energy.gov.Individual Applicants are unlikely to possess the skills, abilities, and resources to successfully accomplish the objectives of this FOA. Individual applicants are encouraged to address this concern in their applications and to demonstrate how they will accomplish the objectives of this FOA.
Description: The DOE SC program in High Energy Physics (HEP) hereby invites the submission of applications for research opportunities in accelerator stewardship. The following program description is offered to provide more in-depth information on scientific and technical areas of interest to the High Energy Physics (HEP) Long-Term Accelerator Research and Development (R&amp;D) Stewardship (&#8220;Accelerator Stewardship&#8221;) program. Please note that this Announcement is only for opportunities within the Accelerator R&amp;D Stewardship mission: HEP routinely issues a separate FOA for research and development within its customarily-supported fields of study. This Accelerator Stewardship Announcement is for R&amp;D activities that may impact HEP-sponsored scientific inquiry, but which predominantly impact other non-HEP applications. The Accelerator Stewardship program&#8217;s mission is to support fundamental accelerator science and technology development of relevance to many fields beyond HEP and to disseminate accelerator knowledge and training to the broad community of accelerator users and providers. Further information about the Accelerator Stewardship program may be found at http://science.energy.gov/hep/research/accelerator-stewardship/ . Many federal agencies have a vested interest in the success of accelerator R&amp;D. Beyond SC, stakeholders include the DOE National Nuclear Security Administration, the DOE Environmental Management Program Office, the (NIH National Institutes of Health&#8217;s) National Cancer Institute, the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Physics, the Department of Defense DOD DoD Office of Naval Research, the DOD DoD Air Force Office of Scientific Research, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Domestic Nuclear Detection Office, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Radiation Effects &amp; Analysis Group, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST Ionizing Radiation Physics Division, among others.
