Theoretical Research in Magnetic Fusion Energy Science: 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 grant applications for theoretical research relevant to the U.S. program in magnetic fusion energy sciences. All individuals or groups planning to submit applications for new or renewal funding in Fiscal Year 2009 should submit in response to this Notice. The specific areas of interest are: 1. Magnetohydrodynamics 2. Confinement and Transport 3. Boundary Physics 4. Plasma Heating, Non-inductive Current Drive, and Energetic Particles 5. Innovative Magnetic Confinement Concepts 6. Atomic and Molecular Processes in Plasmas More specific information on each area of interest is outlined in the program specific supplementary information below. Due to the limited availability of funds, Principal Investigators with continuing grants may not submit a new application in the same area(s) of interest as their previous application(s), which received funding. A Principal Investigator may submit only one application under each area of interest as listed above. LETTER OF INTENT DUE DATE: February 22, 2008 A Letter of Intent (LOI) to submit an application is REQUIRED and should be submitted by February 22, 2008. Failure to submit a Letter of Intent by an applicant may preclude the full application from due consideration. The Letter of Intent should be submitted electronically by E-mail to [email protected] and [email protected]. Please include Letter of Intent for Notice DE-PS02-08ER08-08 in the subject line. The purpose of the Letter of Intent (LOI) is to facilitate the OFES in planning the peer review and the selection of potential reviewers for the application. For this purpose, the LOI must include a one-page abstract of the proposed research and list the names and institutional affiliations of Principal Investigators, any Co-Principal Investigators, key investigators, collaborators or consultants, so as to identify any potential conflict of interest in the selection of qualified reviewers for the application. APPLICATION DUE DATE: April 1, 2008, 8 PM Eastern Time Applications must be submitted using Grants.gov, the Funding Opportunity Announcement can be found using the CFDA Number, 81.049 or the Funding Opportunity Announcement number, DE-PS02-08ER08-08. Applicants must follow the instructions and use the forms provided on Grants.gov.
