The U.S. Department of Energy’s Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) Program offers grants for collaborative research on the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. This funding supports the FES program’s core objectives: understanding magnetically confined plasma dynamics and developing control techniques, alongside advancing scientific knowledge for designing materials resilient to extreme fusion power plant conditions. Individuals or groups seeking new or renewal funding in Fiscal Year 2014 are eligible. Note that this opportunity specifically excludes applications focused primarily on implementing or operating diagnostic instruments on NSTX-U.

| Description: | The Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) Program of the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving grant applications for collaborative research on the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) at Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory. The NSTX-U program contributes to two goals of the FES program: 1) understanding the dynamics of magnetically confined plasmas and developing techniques for controlling them and 2) developing the scientific understanding required to design and deploy materials that withstand the extreme conditions of fusion power plants. All individuals or groups planning to submit applications for new or renewal funding in Fiscal Year 2014 should submit applications in response to this FOA. Applications for collaborative research focused primarily on implementing a diagnostic instrument on NSTX-U or on operating a diagnostic instrument and analyzing the resulting data should not be submitted in response to this FOA.
