Description: The Department of Energy (DOE), National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) seeks applications for the UCR Program. Since its inception in FY1979, the primary objective of the UCR Program has been threefold: (1) to improve our understanding of the chemical and physical processes involved in the conversion and utilization of coal in an environmentally acceptable manner; (2) to maintain and upgrade the coal research capabilities and facilities of U.S. colleges and universities; and (3) to support the education of students in the area of coal science. To develop and sustain a national program of university research that advances the previous stated objectives, the DOE is interested in innovative and fundamental research pertinent to coal conversion and utilization. This year, research is limited to three broad areas: 1) AREA 1 - COMPUTATIONAL ENERGY SCIENCES: MULTIPHASE FLOW RESEARCH; 2) AREA 2 - MATERIAL SCIENCES: COMPUTER-AIDED DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL NEW MATERIALS FOR ENERGY CONVERSION FROM COAL; and 3) AREA 3 - SENSORS AND CONTROLS: NANO DERIVED MATERIALS FOR THE FORMATION OF MULTI DIMENSIONAL SENSING STRUCTURES FOR THE SELECTIVE DETECTION OF FOSSIL ENERGY GASES AT HIGH TEMPERATURES.
