Grant Description

Materials Solicitation with focus on Structural Materials, Blanket First Walls, and Divertor Plasma Facing Components The Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces their interest in receiving Grant applications from single or multi-institution teams to the Materials area of fusion energy sciences, specifically structural materials, blankets, and plasma facing components. The FES Materials portfolio focuses on the development, testing, joining, and modeling/simulations of metals, alloys, coatings, and composites that are appropriate for various locations in the fusion environment. The specific areas of interest under this FOA are: 1. Structural materials 2. Blanket first-wall materials (both liquid and solid) 3. Divertor plasma facing components (both liquid and solid) More specific information on each area of interest is included in the Description of Topical Areas section under SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION in the full FOA (DE-FOA-0000603). A companion Program Announcement to DOE Laboratories (LAB 12-603) will be posted on the SC Grants and Contracts web site at: http://www.science.doe.gov/grants The full text of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is located on FedConnect. Instructions for completing the Grant Application Package are contained in the full text of the FOA which can be obtained at: https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/?doc=DE-FOA-0000603&agency=DOE.
