Environmental Remediation Science Program: The Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department ofEnergy (DOE), hereby announcesinterest in receiving applications for research grants in the EnvironmentalRemediation Sciences Program (ERSP). The goal of the ERSP is to supportinnovative, fundamental research investigating the coupled physical,chemical,and biological processes affecting the transport of subsurface contaminantsatDOE sites. Applications should address hypothesis-driven research to definethekey physical, chemical, and biological processes influencing the form andmobility of DOE contaminants in the subsurface. Research projects shouldaim toprovide the scientific basis for the development of new remediationconcepts orstrategies for the long term stewardship of contaminated sites across theDOEcomplex. Applications should address the applicability of the proposedresearchto DOE relevant contaminant transport processes occurring in the field. Theenvironment of interest is the terrestrial subsurface below the zone ofrootinfluence including both the vadose zone (unsaturated) and the saturatedzone(groundwater and sediments). Phytoremediation and the study of organiccontaminants are NOT addressed in this Notice. Specific Science Elements ofinterest to this Notice include: 1) Subsurface Physical, Chemical andBiological Processes; 2) Subsurface Microbial Ecology and CommunityDynamics;3) Novel Measurement and Monitoring Concepts, and; 4) ExploratoryResearch.
