Today, the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (DOE-NE) has issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to solicit nuclear energy research and development (R&D) from U.S. universities, national laboratories and industry.

In previous years, DOE-NE issued multiple solicitations for R&D opportunities through the Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP) and the Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies (NEET) Crosscutting Technology Development Program. In fiscal year (FY) 2013, DOE-NE is integrating these competitively-funded R&D opportunities into a Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research FOA.

The FOA (DE-FOA-0000799) can be found at www.grants.gov.

On December 13, 2012 a related webinar will occur to provide details related to this FOA. The purpose of this webinar is to 1) brief potential applicants on the Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research FOA, provide details on participation eligibility, requirements and restrictions, and 2) discuss additional workscopes not previously addressed during the FY 2013 NEUP webinar.

Registration links for the webinar can be found below this announcement.
