Opportunity PD-11-1407: The Combustion, Fire, and Plasma Systems program supports fundamental research and education relevant to these subjects. Among the broader societal impacts of the program are cleaner global and local environments, enhanced public safety, improved energy and homeland security, useful new materials, and more efficient manufacturing.This program is not an applied research program, but rather it provides broad, basic knowledge that can be used by others in development of systems for combustion and plasma applications and for mitigating the effects of fire. Broad-based tools - - computational, experimental, or diagnostic - - that can be applied to a variety of problems in combustion, fires, and/or plasmas are major products of this endeavor. Note that the plasma science is generally in support of plasma processing; atmospheric-science or fusion-energy plasmas are funded elsewhere.Areas of interest include:Gas, liquid, and solid combustion in premixed, non-premixed, partially premixed, or flow-reactor configurationsLaminar and turbulent combustion over a range of temperatures and pressures and length scalesStructure and dynamics of flames and plasmasThe science needed to enable use of domestically generated alternate fuelsImproved understanding of flame spread, inhibition, and suppressionAtmospheric-pressure plasmas and other emerging plasma-processing methods relevant to biotechnology, material synthesis, and other industrial applicationsMitigation of combustion-generated pollutionBasic climate-change technology research directly related to combustion, fire, or plasma systemsDevelopment of diagnostic tools and the needed underlying scienceProjects that intersect nanotechnology and combustion, fire, or plasma-processing scienceProjects that combine combustion and plasma science or contribute to both fields of research are encouragedProjects relevant to combustion, fires, or plasma processing that contribute to the emerging cyberinfrastructure for scientific information technologyProposals should address the novelty of the concept being proposed, compared to previous work in the field. Also, it is important to address why the novelty might be important in terms of engineering science, as well as to also project the potential impact on society and /or industry of success in the research. The information requested in this paragraph should be included, as a minimum, in the Project Summary of each proposal.The duration of unsolicited awards is generally one to three years. The average annual award size for the program is $90,000. Small equipment proposals of less than $100,000 will also be considered and may be submitted during these windows. Any proposal received outside the announced dates will be returned without review.The duration of Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program awards is five years. The submission deadline for Engineering CAREER proposals is in July every year. Please see the following URL for more information:http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214 Proposals for Conferences, Workshops, and Supplements may be submitted at any time, but must be discussed with the program director before submission.Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID) and EArly-concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) replace the SGER program. Please note that proposals of these types must be discussed with the program director before submission. Further details are available in the PAPPG download..
