Research, Development and Training in 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 research and development on alternative methods to produce and separate stable and radioactive isotopes needed for a wide variety of research and applications. The proposed research and development should provide new and innovative technologies, or improvements to existing technologies, to foster the enhanced production of isotopes that will benefit research and applications in medicine, homeland security, the physical sciences, biological and geological sciences, and industry. Applications proposing novel and effective ways to enhance education and training of personnel with expertise to improve and develop new methods in the production, processing, purification, and distribution of stable and radioactive isotopes are invited.
