About this opportunity
The Department of Energy's Office of Science seeks applications for its Fusion Energy Sciences Discovery Plasma Science: Plasma Science and Technology-General Plasma Science program. The program aims to support single-investigator or small-group research projects at universities and non-profits exploring fundamental plasma dynamics, processes in non-neutral and dusty plasmas, and low-temperature plasma chemistry. Objectives include advancing understanding of laboratory, space and astrophysical plasmas while training future plasma scientists. Applications will be merit reviewed based on scientific and technical merit. Applications are due by specified dates in 2024 with initial reviews and awards expected in August 2024 and fiscal year 2024.
Individual awards may range from $100,000 to $770,000 per year for up to three years for a total expected funding amount of $5 million. Successful applicants will conduct research and training activities at their university or non-profit organization to further plasma science understanding and the next generation of plasma experts through hands-on research experiences for students and postdocs.
Synopsis
The DOE SC program in Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) hereby announces its interest in receiving new or renewal single-investigator or small-group research applications from universities and non-profit organizations to carry out frontier-level research in basic plasma science and engineering. The FES Discovery Plasma Science: Plasma Science and Technology-General Plasma Science (GPS) program supports research at the frontiers of basic and low temperature plasma science. This includes: (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.
