What this is
DOE-NE is explicitly inviting universities, national laboratories, industry partners, and international entities to submit research ideas, comments, and recommendations to shape future competitive funding opportunities in nuclear energy. Responses are submitted via NEUP.gov and represent an early-stage opportunity to influence research direction. This is fundamentally a listening exercise rather than a funded award mechanism—the 2016 open date and unknown close date suggest this may be an evergreen or intermittently-open channel.
Who can apply
Broad eligibility: universities (public, private, and higher education), small businesses, for-profit companies, nonprofits (501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3)), and international entities may submit input. This is a solicitation for feedback, not a competitive grant award, so eligibility is wide-open.
Eligible applicant types
- Nonprofits having a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
- For profit organizations other than small businesses
- Small businesses
- Public and State controlled institutions of higher education
- Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education
- Private institutions of higher education
