Isotope Production

The Office of Nuclear Physics (NP), Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for domestic production of stable and radioactive isotopes to support research in a wide variety of fields such as medicine, physics, biology, chemistry, agriculture, ecology, materials science, and national security. The goal of this Funding Opportunity Announcement is to enhance the availability of stable and radioactive isotopes to support research applications. When establishing priorities for program awards, the Office of Nuclear Physics considers guidance from the Nuclear Science Advisory Committee on Isotopes (NSAC-I) as documented in the following two reports:Compelling Research Opportunities using Isotopes, NSAC Isotopes Subcommittee, April 23, 2009 (http://www.er.doe.gov/np/nsac/docs/NSACI_Final_Report_Charge1.pdf)Isotopes for the Nation's Future A Long Range Plan, NSAC Isotopes Subcommittee, August 27, 2009 (http://www.er.doe.gov/np/nsac/docs/NSACI_II_Report.pdfA companion Program Announcement to DOE Laboratories (LAB 11-517) will be posted on the Office of Science Grants and Contracts web site at: http://www.science.doe.gov/grants/.
