Current Research & Research Opportunities

Please check back on this page for descriptions of some of the Isotope R&D currently being sponsored by Federal Agencies, especially the Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications (IDPRA) subprogram of the Office of Nuclear Physics in the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.

There are two active Funding Opportunity Announcements; for past funding announcements, please see our page on Archived Funding Opportunities.

August 2012: DE-FOA-0000743 - Research, Development and Training in Isotope Production
The DOE Office of Science has posted a new Funding Opportunity Announcement in which you may be interested. It is announcement DE-FOA-0000743 - Research, Development and Training in Isotope Production.  This competitive opportunity announcement is supported by the Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications (IDPRA) subprogram in the Office of Nuclear Physics. More information may be found from this PDF file,
or by going to the Office of Science Web Site (http://science.energy.gov/), clicking on the tab ''Funding Opportunities'' near the top center of the page, then selecting ''Current Funding Opportunities.'' Please feel free to distribute this email to interested parties.

A companion announcement has also been made to the National Laboratories, LAB_12-743.

July 2012: DOE Early Career Research Program
The DOE Funding Announcements for the 2012 Early Career Research Program are now available at http://science.energy.gov/early-career/ .

The schedule is as follows:
Due date for Pre-applications:    6-Sep-12, 5 pm eastern time
Encourage/Discourage Decisions:    4-Oct-12
Due date for Proposals:    26-Nov-12, 5 pm eastern time

Note that preapplications from everyone and lab proposals from DOE national laboratories must be submitted directly in the Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS) this year. That means all Principal Investigators MUST register and create accounts in PAMS. Interested PIs are encouraged to register right away. Registration information is in the solicitations and FAQs. Due times are 5 pm this year (instead of the usual 11:59 pm) to take advantage of the PAMS help desk hours.
