National Spherical Torus Experiment Innovative Measurements of Spherical Torus Plasmas: The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (OFES) of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for collaborative research employing innovative diagnostic instruments on the National Spherical Torus Experiment (NSTX) at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. The NSTX program addresses two of the long term goals of the OFES program: Configuration Optimization and developing a Predictive Capability for Burning Plasmas. Applications for collaborative research must support the NSTX Program by addressing key scientific issues related to these goals, such as Macroscopic Stability, Multi-Scale Transport Physics, Plasma Boundary Interfaces, Waves and Energetic Particles, and Start-up, Ramp-up and Sustainment without a Solenoid, and Integration of Physics and Operational Requirements for Achieving Burning Plasma Conditions. To be considered for funding, applicants must have discussed their proposed research with the NSTX National Research Program Leaders and must include a Record of Discussion that specifies the benefits of proposed research to the NSTX research program and the interface support required to carry it out. Applications to renew on-going NSTX collaborative research must include a list of project goals from the previous statement of work and a summary of the actual accomplishments.
