NCNR Neutron Research and Neutron Scattering Financial Assistance Program: The National Institute of Standards and Technology Center for Neutron Research (NCNR) is establishing a financial assistance program in the fields of Neutron Research and Neutron Scattering to develop new instrumentation, to conduct collaborative research with NIST scientists, and to assist visiting researchers at the NCNR.The primary program objectives of the financial assistance program in Neutron Research and Neutron Scattering are to develop new areas of neutron instrumentation with emphasis on cold neutrons; to explore and develop new areas of neutron scattering science, with emphasis on macromolecular science, condensed matter physics, and chemistry; to explore and develop new areas of neutron imaging or neutron physics; to assist and train NCNR facility users in their research; and to conduct other outreach and educational activities that advance the use of neutrons by U.S. university and industrial scientists. This will entail stationing scientific staff at the NCNR who, in collaboration with NIST and visiting scientists, advance these objectives. NIST does not require or anticipate full scope proposals, i.e. proposals need not address the fields of Neutron Research (which includes neutron imaging and neutron physics) and Neutron Spectroscopy (which includes neutron diffraction and neutron spectroscopy) at the same time. Proposals should instead be focused on one (or more) of the primary objectives listed above, i.e. the development of neutron instrumentation, new areas of neutron scattering science, new areas of neutron imaging, and/or new areas of neutron physics. Applicants and team members must possess the education, experience, and training, to pursue and advance the fields of Neutron Research or Neutron Scattering efficiently. In addition, the applicant and team members must possess a demonstrated record of excellence in the development of neutron instrumentation or in research involving neutron imaging, neutron physics, or neutron scattering methods.Examples of jointly-pursued activities under previous cooperative agreements include the integration of expert university research and technical staff to assist neutron users at the NCNR in conducting their scientific research on various cold neutron instruments, the design and development of a state-of-the-art double-focussing neutron monochromator for use on MACS (the Multi-Analyzer Crystal Spectrometer), studies of advanced applications of neutron residual stress methods, the design and development of a neutron phase space transformation chopper for use on the HFBS (High-Flux Backscattering Spectrometer), and computer modeling studies of neutron scattering measurements from biomolecular systems.Additional information on the NCNR can be found at: www.ncnr.nist.gov.Proposals will be considered for cooperative agreements with durations of up to five years, subject to the availability of funds, satisfactory progress, and the continuing relevance to the objectives of the NIST Center for Neutron Research. The anticipated level of funding is up to $5,000,000 ($5 million) per year. One to five awards are likely. NIST will determine whether to fund one award for the full amount; to divide available funds into multiple awards of any size, and negotiate scopes of work and budgets as appropriate; or not to select any proposal for funding, upon completing the selection process described below. Awards are anticipated to contain a start date of September 3, 2007.
