The foundational laboratory Fusion Materials, Fusion Nuclear Science, and Enabling R&D programs span functional and structural materials R&D for heating technology, magnet technology, blankets, fuel cycle, and first wall. Projects were selected by competitive peer review. Total funding is $49 million for projects lasting up to three (3) years in duration, with $7 million in Fiscal Year 2024 dollars and outyear funding contingent on congressional appropriations.

The FOA is issued by the FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program to seek new applications from U.S. researchers to carry out frontier-level plasma science research on one or more of the FES GPS Program supported collaborative research facilities (CRFs). The focus here is on new, one-time, short-term, small “seed” funding for external collaborations with the CRFs and to increase participation at and productivity of these facilities. Through the support of this research, the FES GPS Program plays ... Show More

The FOA is issued by the FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program to provide frontier-level research opportunities leading to significant advances in the fundamental understanding of basic plasma science and engineering. The FOA welcomed proposals in three core research areas: (i) dynamical processes in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma, such as magnetic reconnection, plasma dynamo, shocks, turbulence cascade, structures, waves, flows and their interactions; (ii) behavior of dusty plas ...

The FOA welcomed proposals in three core research areas: (i) dynamical processes in laboratory, space, and astrophysical plasma, such as magnetic reconnection, plasma dynamo, shocks, turbulence cascade, structures, waves, flows and their interactions; (ii) behavior of dusty plasma, non-neutral, single-component matter or antimatter plasma, and ultra-cold neutral plasma; and (iii) plasma chemistry and processes in low temperature plasma, interfacial plasma, and interaction of plasma with materials and/or biomaterials. Through the support of this research, the FES GPS Program plays a key role in training the next generation of plasma scientists and engineers. Show Less

These partnerships advance understanding of the physical world by supporting fundamental, early-stage energy research collaborations with the DOE National Laboratories. The grants are aimed to enhance the research of EPSCoR scientists while building expertise and capabilities that will enable the institutions to compete more successfully for other federal R&D funding. In this way the DOE EPSCoR program advances the geographic diversity of researchers conducting competitive energy-related resear ... Show More
