Grant Description

The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), announces its intention to conduct a special review of the research in innovative approaches to fusion energy sciences. All university or industry individuals or groups planning to submit applications for renewal or new funding in Fiscal Year 2006 should submit in response to this Notice. In addition, the OFES requests the following projects to submit renewal applications as part of this special review: (1) The Helically Symmetric Experiment (HSX) at the University of Wisconsin - Madison and (2) The Levitated Dipole Experiment (LDX) at MIT and Columbia University. Mail reviews and a panel review are being planned for this special review. This special review is necessitated in part by a reduction of funding (of approximately $2M per year) in the program. If additional funds should become available later, which would reverse the anticipated ICC funding shortfall, the two special projects, namely HSX and LDX, would then be exempted from the final review. The OFES Innovative Confinement Concepts (ICC) Program has the long-term performance measure of demonstrating enhanced fundamental understanding of magnetic confinement and improved basis for future burning plasma experiments through research on magnetic confinement configuration optimization. The program is focused on resolving key scientific issues and determining the confinement characteristics of a range of attractive confinement configurations. Applications for research on the large fusion facilities (DIII-D, Alcator C-Mod, NSTX, MST, NCSX), or initiatives in Inertial Fusion Energy and High Energy Density Physics should not be submitted in response to this notice. OFES may also solicit applications from time to time under separate announcements of Initiatives to support coordinated, goal-directed community efforts. These Initiatives will be funded to achieve specific programmatic and scientific aims and will be subject to requirements that are different from those of this notice. Such grants, if funded, will be subject to periodic reviews of progress. ATTENTION: Applicants must use the forms in Grants.gov -- DO NOT use the forms listed below.
