Nuclear Energy University Program Funding Opportunities Now Open

The Office of Nuclear Energy is accepting applications for four notices of funding opportunities (NOFOs): Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research (CINR); CINR Phase II Continuation (CINR II); Distinguished Early Career Program (DECP); and Scientific Infrastructure Support for CINR (RU-GSI). 

An Office Director and Program Manager Q&A (formerly known as Office Hours) will be held Dec. 16-17 for applicants to discuss the CINR NOFO topic areas. As a reminder, if you cannot attend the Q&A session for the topic area(s) you are interested in, the sessions will be recorded and posted at NEUP.gov. Please see the link for the Q&A agenda below for more information. 

Following the Q&A sessions, if you have questions regarding the NOFOs or CINR R&D topic area(s), please submit your questions to neup@inl.gov and responses will be coordinated with the appropriate federal program managers. Please allow up to three business days for a response.

These NOFOs directly support the mission of the Office of Nuclear Energy, which is to advance nuclear energy science and technology to meet the nation’s energy, environmental, and economic needs. 

For application deadlines, please refer to the NOFOs listed below.
