The Department of Energy’s Office of Science has announced a significant funding opportunity under the number DE-FOA-0003222, focusing on High-Energy-Density Laboratory Plasma Science. This initiative is a joint venture between the Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) program and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Defense Program’s Office of Experimental Sciences. It aims to foster groundbreaking research in high-energy-density (HED) laboratory plasmas, a field critical for advancements in science and technology. The program is born out of the collaboration inspired by the 2007 Interagency Task Force on High Energy Density Physics report.
This funding opportunity is designed to support research in five specific areas: HED Hydrodynamics, Radiation-Dominated Dynamics and Material Properties, Nonlinear Optics of Plasmas and Laser-Plasma Interactions, Relativistic HED Plasmas and Intense Beam Physics, and Warm Dense Matter. With an award ceiling of $1,200,000 and a floor of $150,000, this grant presents an excellent opportunity for researchers and institutions to contribute to the evolving landscape of plasma science. Eligibility is unrestricted, opening doors for a wide range of applicants to bring innovative ideas and research projects to the forefront. The closing date for applications is set for February 22, 2024, marking an important deadline for those in the scientific community seeking to explore the frontiers of high-energy-density laboratory plasma science.
