This department is offering a grant to develop diagnostic techniques for measuring plasma parameters in magnetic fusion systems, aiming to access new information levels or reduce cost/complexity. The grant encourages proposals exploring novel diagnostic approaches for unexplored plasma scenarios. Additionally, the development of new technologies and materials to enhance diagnostics in fusion experiments is supported. Proposals focusing on future diagnostic needs for long-pulse facilities are welcomed. Funding is not available for applying proven diagnostic techniques on major fusion facilities. Closing date for applications is Oct 20, 2016.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | All domestic type of applicants are eligible to apply, except Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501©(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995.DOE National Laboratories and other Federal agencies are not eligible to receive financial assistance awards under this FOA, but they may submit collaborating applications in accordance with the instructions in Section IV, Part C, below. DOE National Laboratories whose collaborating applications are considered for funding may be invited to submit a proposal in the Office of Science’s PAMS website for the receipt of a Field Work Authorization. Other Federal agencies whose collaborating applications are considered for funding may be invited to submit a proposal in the Office of Science’s PAMS website for the receipt of an Interagency Award. |

| Description: | Applications are sought for the development of diagnostic techniques to measure plasma parameters not previously accessible, or at a level of detail greater than previously possible, or at a substantially reduced cost, size, or complexity. Development involving substantial extension of existing diagnostics concepts for measurements in new, unexplored, or unfamiliar plasma regimes or scenarios is also sought. Proposals addressing future diagnostic needs of research on 2 long-pulse facilities are also encouraged. Development of new, innovative technologies (e.g. additive manufacturing, MEMS, etc.), materials, and detectors of all kinds of radiations and particles from present and future magnetic fusion experiments, which will enable any of the above advancements in diagnostics, are also sought. While the testing of novel diagnostics on major fusion facilities is not excluded from this solicitation, requests seeking funding for the application of proven diagnostic techniques to such facilities will not be considered under this Announcement; such diagnostic applications are typically funded via separate solicitations as part of experimental facilities, based on their own research program priorities. |
