About this opportunity

The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) is seeking applications from U.S. universities for the Fiscal Year 2025 Phase II Continuation Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research (CINR) program. The goal of this funding opportunity is to advance nuclear energy science and technology to meet the U.S. energy, environmental, and economic needs. Eligible applicants must be the lead institution on a currently active CINR project concluding between January 1, 2025 and September 30, 2025. The proposed projects must complement and extend the previously awarded NEUP research. Applications are due by October 2, 2024, and will be evaluated based on their alignment with NE's mission priorities.

The total estimated funding available for this opportunity is $3 million, with individual awards expected to range from $300,000 to $1,000,000. The Phase II Continuation CINR projects are shorter in duration (up to 2 years) and smaller in scope than the original CINR projects. There are no specific details provided on the quantity of awards or the location of the research activities.

Synopsis

The Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) mission is to advance nuclear energy science and technology to meet the United States (U.S.) energy, environmental, and economic needs. NE has identified the following goals to address challenges in the nuclear energy sector, help realize the potential of advanced technology, and leverage the unique role of the government in spurring innovation: • Keep existing U.S. nuclear reactors operating, • Deploy new nuclear reactors, • Secure and sustain our nuclear fuel cycle, and • Expand international nuclear energy cooperation. NE conducts crosscutting nuclear energy research and development (R & D) and associated infrastructure support activities to develop innovative technologies that offer the promise of dramatically improved performance for its mission needs as stated above, while maximizing the impact of NE resources. This Phase II Continuation CINR FOA provides opportunities for teams that have performed high quality work through the Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP) to propose new projects that complement and enhance ongoing NEUP research through a competitive application and review process. This Phase II Continuation CINR process is executed through NEUP. NEUP supports university-based infrastructure and R & D (including Integrated Research Projects (IRP)) in areas relevant to the NE mission.
