The Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) is offering the FY15 Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research grant to fund crosscutting nuclear energy R&D activities. This grant supports innovative technologies for advanced reactors and fuel cycle concepts through collaborative research with national laboratories, universities, industry, and international partners. The grant includes funding for university-based infrastructure support and R&D in key program areas such as Fuel Cycle Research, Reactor Concepts, and Advanced Modeling. It also provides access to material test reactors and examination facilities for researchers. Applications should address potential shifts in R&D priorities during FY 2015. Closing date for applications is Feb 23, 2015.

Eligibility

Eligible Applicants:: Small businesses
Additional Information on Eligibility:: This FOA is open to U.S. universities, national laboratories, and industry.Research consortiums may be composed of diverse institutions including academia, national laboratories, non-profit research institutes, industry/utilities, and international partners. Research teams should strive to achieve the synergies that arise when individuals with forefront expertise in different methodologies, technologies, disciplines, and areas of content knowledge approach a problem together, overcoming impasses by considering the issue from fresh angles and discovering novel solutions. DOE-NE strongly encourages diversifying its research portfolio through effective partnerships with industry, underrepresented groups, and MSI, which may receive funding support from the project. International partners are encouraged to participate, however no U.S. government funding will be provided to entities incorporated outside of the U.S. DOE-NE will evaluate any such proposed partnerships as part of its program relevancy evaluation and scoring. The following link provides the current list of MSI: http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/edlite-minorityinst.html. No more than 20 percent of the total funds provided by the government to a university (excluding NEET CTD) can go to a non-university collaborator. See eligibility requirements in the body of the FOA document to be sure you can apply.

Additional Information

Agency Name:: Idaho Field Office
Description:: The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) conducts crosscutting nuclear energy research and development (R&D) and associated infrastructure support activities to develop innovative technologies that offer the promise of dramatically improved performance for advanced reactors and fuel cycle concepts while maximizing the impact of DOE resources.NE strives to promote integrated and collaborative research conducted by national laboratory, university, industry, and international partners under the direction of NE’s programs. NE funds research activities through both competitive and direct mechanisms, as required to best meet the needs of NE. This approach ensures a balanced R&D portfolio and encourages new nuclear power deployment with creative solutions to the universe of nuclear energy challenges. This FOA addresses the competitive portion of NE’s R&D portfolio as executed through the Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP), Nuclear Energy Enabling Technologies Crosscutting Technology Development (NEET CTD), and Advanced Test Reactor National Scientific User Facility (ATR NSUF). NEUP utilizes up to 20 percent of funds appropriated to NE’s R&D program for university-based infrastructure support and R&D in key NE program-related areas: Fuel Cycle Research and Development (FC R&D), Reactor Concepts Research, Development and Demonstration (RC RD&D), and Nuclear Energy Advanced Modeling and Simulation (NEAMS). NEET CTD supports national laboratory-, university- and industry-led crosscutting research. By establishing the NSUF in 2007, DOE-NE opened up the world of material test reactors, beam lines, and post-irradiation examination facilities to researchers from U.S. universities, industry and national laboratories by granting no-cost access to world-class nuclear research facilities. In addition to the consolidation of the NSUF Call for Applications (CFA) for access to capabilities, NEUP or NEET CTD projects requiring irradiation testing and/or post irradiation examination (PIE) may include no-cost access to NSUF capabilities through a single application response to this FOA.NE reserves the right to respond to potential shifts in R&D priorities during FY 2015 that may be driven by events, policy developments, or Congressional/budget direction. NE will factor such considerations into decisions related to the timing and scale of award announcements associated with this FOA.

Version History

Version Modification Description Updated Date
Synopsis 5 AMENDMENT 000005 – The purpose of this amendment is to extend the date and time set for the Full Application Due Date (as specified on the Funding Opportunity Announcement cover page, as well as in the FOA PART IV – APPLICATION AND SUBMISSION INFORMATION, paragraph E.3 SUBMISSION DATES AND TIMES, Full Application Due Date), as follows:

FROM: February 19, 2015 at 8:00 PM ET
TO: February 23, 2015 at 8:00 PM ET

No other changes are made by this amendment.

Feb 18, 2015
Synopsis 4 Corrected Contract Specialist information in Grants.gov to Shawn Tinsley from Aaron Gravelle.
Synopsis 3 AMENDMENT 000004 – The purpose of the modification is to clarify the eligibility restrictions in Part III. A. 5 so it applies to all PIs. Specifically, the first paragraph now reads “PIs with a currently funded IRP; who have three or more R&D projects that will still be active after December 31, 2015; or who have a no-cost extension (NCE) on any DOE-NE funded project (excluding Infrastructure) which will still be active beyond December 31, 2015, are ineligible to apply to any area of this FOA as a lead PI, but are eligible to participate as a collaborator.” This is to include NCE requests and limit of projects to also apply to national laboratory and industry participants. In addition we have updated the Federal POC of the MS-NE-1 workscope (pg. 65) from Trevor Cook to Rob Versluis and to also change the Agency Contact (PartVII. B.) from Aaron Gravelle to Shawn Tinsley.
Synopsis 2 AMENDMENT 000002 ¿ The purpose of this modification is to clarify the application restrictions
regarding IRP submissions in Part III, A, 5. An additional paragraph has been added stating ¿For
IRPs, an applicant is ineligible to submit an application as the PI if (s)he is designated as PI for more
than one currently funded DOE-NE project that will still be active beyond December 31, 2015.
