Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001896
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, through the Isotope Program (managed within the Office of Nuclear Physics), is seeking grant applications for research, development, and training activities that strengthen the nations ability to produce isotopes. This opportunity, issued under the Isotope Development and Production for Research and Applications (IDPRA) sub-program, focuses on research and development that either introduces new ways to make radioactive and enriched stable isotopes or meaningfully improves existing production methods. The central idea is that proposed work should generate practical data, demonstrate new techniques, or advance technologies that remove bottlenecks in isotope production and help increase availability, reliability, efficiency, and overall capability.
Projects are expected to clearly connect their technical work to real-world isotope supply needs. Competitive applications will explain how the results would directly support or enhance production of isotopes used across a broad range of fields, including medical diagnostics and therapy, homeland security, physical sciences, biological and geological research, energy technologies, and industrial applications. In other words, the DOE is not looking for basic science in isolation; it is looking for R and D that moves the needle on production, processing, purification, and ultimately the delivery of usable isotopes for research and end users.
A major emphasis of this funding opportunity is workforce development. Proposals that include strong training components are explicitly encouraged, especially those that build hands-on expertise in the specialized skills required for isotope work. This includes training related to producing isotopes, processing irradiated or produced materials, chemical purification and separations, quality control, and the distribution pipeline for both enriched stable isotopes and radioactive isotopes. The goal is to expand and sustain a talent base that can operate and innovate within the isotope production ecosystem, which is a known challenge given the highly technical nature of the field and the limited number of facilities and experienced practitioners.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001896; CFDA 81.049) under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning applications are open broadly to different entity types, subject to any additional eligibility conditions described in the full announcement. The DOE anticipated making around 30 awards, with an award ceiling of $750,000 per award. The opportunity was originally posted April 2, 2018, with an original closing date of June 15, 2018.
Finally, DOE noted that a companion announcement for DOE National Laboratories (LAB-1896) would be posted separately on the Office of Science grants site. An important detail for applicants is that submissions to this funding opportunity announcement would be peer reviewed in direct competition with applications submitted under the laboratory companion announcement. This signals that proposals from universities, companies, nonprofits, and other eligible organizations would be evaluated alongside national lab proposals using the same competitive review process, with awards going to the strongest overall projects based on merit and alignment with the programs isotope production mission.Apply for DE FOA 0001896
