NSF/DOE Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering: <span style="font-size: 10.0pt; font-family: Arial;">Plasma Physics is a study of fundamental properties of physical systems exhibiting behavior governed bycollective interactionsof charged particles. 99.9% of the visible Universe is thought to consist of plasmas. <span style="color: #595959;">The underlying physics of the collective behavior in plasmas</span> has applications to space physics and astrophysics, material science, applied mathematics, fusion science, accelerator science, and many branches of engineering.</span>


The National Science Foundation (NSF), with participation of the Directorates for Engineering, Geosciences, and Mathematical and Physical Sciences, and the <span style="font-size: 11.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Department of Energy, Office of Science, Fusion Energy Sciences</span> are continuing the joint Partnership in Basic Plasma Science and Engineering begun in FY1997 and renewed several times since. As stated in the original solicitation (NSF 97-39), which is superseded by the present solicitation, the goal of the initiative is to enhance basic plasma research and education in this broad, multidisciplinary field by coordinating efforts and combining resources of the two agencies. The current solicitation also encourages submission of proposals to perform basic plasma experiments at NSF and DOE supported user facilities, such as the Basic Plasma Science Facility at the University of California, Los Angeles, designed to serve the needs of the broader plasma community.
