DOE: Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP) - General Scientific Infrastructure Support - DE-FOA-0000321
Internal Competition Completed
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Eduard Karpov, Civil & Materials Engineering
Program Summary
The development of nuclear energy-related infrastructure and basic capabilities in the university and college community is necessary to promote R&D that supports nuclear science and engineering (NS&E), DOE-NE’s mission, and the Nation’s nuclear energy challenges. Accordingly, DOE intends to enable the education and training of nuclear scientists, engineers, and policy-makers, in graduate and undergraduate study and two-year programs, as well as R&D that is relevant to the Department and the nuclear energy industry in general. DOE is seeking proposals for equipment and instrumentation infrastructure to support nuclear energy-related engineering and science teaching and research laboratories.
The infrastructure requested by a university should be individual, discrete, and definable items or
capabilities that will support, maintain, or enhance the university’s or college’s capacity to attract and teach high quality students interested in nuclear energy-related studies; build the university’s or college’s NS&E basic research or education capabilities; or enhance the university’s or college’s capability to perform R&D that is relevant to DOE-NE’s R&D mission.
All equipment and instrumentation and associated facility upgrades requests that support nuclear energy related R&D or education are welcomed. This includes, but is not limited to, equipment and instrumentation for specialized facilities, classrooms and laboratories, and non-reactor NS&E research. Infrastructure requests that support the sharing and use of equipment and instrumentation by multiple campuses of a university or multiple universities are encouraged.
Awards: DOE-NE anticipates the awards will consist of up to a $250,000 base with and addition $50,000 for installation or supportive facility upgrades if University provides matching funds.
UIC is restricted to one application.

Letter of Intent Instructions
OVCR may reserve submission slots for previously submitted but unfunded proposals that received highly competitive ratings from the external sponsor. These will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis by the Vice Chancellor. For consideration, scanned copies of your complete reviews (not just summary) must be included with LOI.
Depending upon the number of LOIs submitted, OVCR might be required to facilitate an internal peer review process to select UIC’s submission(s) to this program. White paper instructions will be posted if necessary.
