Description
The DOE SC program in Fusion Energy Sciences (FES) hereby announces its interest in receiving new applications from U.S. researchers to carry out frontier plasma science research on one or more of the collaborative research facilities (CRFs) and initiatives supported by FES General Plasma Science (GPS) program. These include the Big Red Ball (BRB) and Madison Symmetric Torus (MST) experiments at the Wisconsin Plasma Physics Laboratory (WiPPL) at the University of Wisconsin – Madison (UW-Madison), the Large Plasma Device (LAPD) in the Basic Plasma Science Facility (BaPSF) at the University of California – Los Angeles (UCLA), the DIII-D Frontier Science Initiative at General Atomics (GA), the Magnetized Dusty Plasma Experiment (MDPX) at the Magnetized Plasma Research Laboratory (MPRL) at Auburn University, the low-temperature Plasma Research Facility (PRF) at Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), and the Princeton Collaborative Research Facility (PCRF) at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL). Interested principal investigators (PIs) must have already responded to the separate call for proposals from one or more of these facilities and been allocated experimental runtime to carry out their project.The goal of this FOA is to increase participation and productivity of the GPS program supported CRFs and initiatives. U.S. PIs may seek travel funds and/or seed funding for short-term projects (1-2 years in duration) to carry out frontier plasma science research on these facilities. The funding may include travel support, small FTE support for the PI to supervise, as well as support for students or postdoctoral researchers involved in the experiment and/or validation work. Full-term research projects seeking three or more years of funding are outside the scope of this FOA and must be submitted in response to other announcements.
