Grant Description: The Office of Nuclear Physics (NP) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is a research program that proposes to establish a U.S. Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB) with forefront scientific research capabilities complimentary to existing or planned facilities world-wide, and to exploit the scientific potential of rare isotope beams as a research tool for discovery-oriented science. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) requests proposals for the conceptual design and establishment of a Facility for Rare Isotope Beams (FRIB). The proposed FRIB must be capable of mounting a world-class scientific research program at the start of operation, and can be designed, built and commissioned for less than or equal to $550,000,000 in escalated Then Year dollars. The specifications in the FOA are formed from the recent reports of the Rare Isotope Beam Task Force of the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee (NSAC) http://www.sc.doe.gov/np/nsac/nsac.html and the Rare Isotope Science Assessment Committee (RISAC) of the National Research Council (NRC) http://www.sc.doe.gov/np.
