RFI - DOE R
About
University, National Laboratory, Industry, and International Entities Input to the Office of Nuclear Energy’s Competitive Research and Development Work Scope Development - DOE is seeking ideas in the areas of research, information, comments, feedback, and recommendations from interested parties for future work scopes for the major NE-funded research programs. All responses are to be made at NEUP. gov per the attached instructions.
The RFI - DOE R (Request for Information - Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy) is a unique opportunity for universities, national laboratories, industry partners, and international entities to shape the future of nuclear energy research. Rather than a traditional grant program with funding awards, this RFI invites stakeholders to provide valuable input, ideas, research recommendations, and feedback on the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy competitive research and development initiatives. This is an excellent opportunity for organizations involved in nuclear science and technology to influence priority-setting for major NE-funded research programs. By participating, your organization can help identify emerging research needs, propose innovative work scopes, and contribute to the strategic direction of DOE's nuclear energy portfolio. Whether you're advancing reactor technologies, fuel development, materials science, or supporting infrastructure for the nuclear sector, your insights can directly impact future funding opportunities and research priorities. Submissions are made through the official NEUP.gov portal, making participation accessible to qualified entities nationwide.
