Title U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the University Nuclear Leadership Program (formerly the Integrated University Program), Research and Development Grant, Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Agencies Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Description The program provides funding to support research and development for nuclear science, engineering, technology, and related disciplines to develop a workforce capable of supporting the design, construction, operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear materials. More specifically, the program shall be used to provide financial assistance for research and development projects relevant to the programmatic mission of the NRC referenced above, with an emphasis on providing financial assistance with respect to research, development, demonstration, and commercial application activities relevant to civilian advanced nuclear reactors, including, but not limited to, relevant fuel cycle technologies, advanced construction, manufacturing, and fabrication methods. Of particular interest are projects aimed at: • Aging/degradation of nuclear plant systems, structures, and components. • Digital engineering/analytics, advanced sensors and controls for nuclear applications. • Advanced materials and manufacturing for nuclear applications. • Advanced construction techniques for nuclear builds. • Evaluation of technical gaps and major uncertainties related to risk-informed decision-making for areas such as complex all-hazard risk models, dynamic PRAs, and PRAs for advanced reactors. • Human and organizational factors and human reliability analysis for advanced nuclear applications, including improved models for dependency, consideration of organizational factors, and dynamic methods. • Characterization of low frequency, high consequence natural or industrial hazards for advanced nuclear applications. • Characterization, handling, fabrication, transportation, storage, or disposal of fresh and spent nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants (including the various advanced reactor designs that are currently under development). 4 31310021K0002 • Analyses, data and evaluations that will support an understanding of the safety, technical gaps and major uncertainties for (1) operating, small modular and advanced reactor designs with emphasis in the areas of fuel performance, fuel fragmentation relocation and disposal, natural circulation, boron dilution, neutronics, source term analysis, severe accident analysis and (2) fuel cycle technologies, with emphasis on experimental test and analytical model data to help validate the NRC’s scientific computer codes and ability to assess application of these technologies. • Advanced technology approaches (e.g., data and text analytics and artificial intelligence) and applications (e.g., data mining, risk communication) that enhance regulatory decision making. Some specific areas of focus could be incorporating equipment failure trends, probabilistic risk assessment, and risk-informed decision-making in licensing, inspection, and other regulatory activities. Although the FOA identifies many of the NRCs R&D priorities, the NRC will strive to award projects that cover multiple project areas specified above. Your application should emphasize the technical area(s) proposed under this project.

Title Scholarships in STEM Network (S-STEM-Net) —S-STEM Resource and Evaluation Center and S-STEM Research Hubs Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description Through this solicitation, NSF seeks to foster a network of S-STEM stakeholders and further develop the infrastructure needed to generate and disseminate new knowledge, successful practices and effective design principles arising from NSF S-STEM projects nationwide. The ultimate vision of the legislation governing the S-STEM parent program1 (and of the current S-STEM-Net solicitation) is that all Americans, regardless of economic status, should be able to contribute to the American innovation economy if they so desire. To support collaboration within the S-STEM network, NSF will fund two types of investments: An S-STEM Resource and Evaluation Center (S-STEM-REC) and several S-STEM Research Hubs (S-STEM-Hub). The S-STEM Network (S-STEM-Net) will collaborate to create synergies and sustain a robust national ecosystem consisting of multi-sector partners supporting domestic low-income STEM students in achieving their career goals, while also ensuring access, inclusion, and adaptability to changing learning needs. This network will also synthesize current achievements and investigate evolving barriers to the success of this student population. It will also disseminate the context and circumstances by which interventions and practices that support graduation of domestic low-income students pursuing careers in STEM are successful. The target audience for this dissemination effort is the community of higher education institutions, faculty, scholars, researchers and evaluators, local and regional organizations, industry, and other nonprofit, federal, state, and local agencies concerned with the success of domestic low-income STEM students in the United States. More Information https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2021/nsf21569/nsf21569.htm?WT.mc_id=USNSF_25&WT.mc_ev=click Submission Limits Limit on Number of Proposals per Organization: An Institution may submit one S-STEM-REC proposal (as a single institution, a subawardee, or a member of a collaborative research project), and an Institution may submit at most one S-STEM-Hub proposal (as a single institution, a subawardee, or a member of a collaborative research project). Limit on Number of Proposals per PI or Co-PI: An individual may only serve as PI or Co-PI of one S-STEM-REC proposal or one S-STEM-Hub proposal.

Title CRITICAL MINERALS & MATERIALS: CHEMICAL AND MATERIALS SCIENCES RESEARCH ON RARE EARTH AND PLATINUM GROUP ELEMENTS Agencies Department of Energy (DOE) Description The DOE SC program in Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program announces its interest in receiving applications from single investigators and multi-disciplinary teams to support experimental and theoretical research to advance chemical and materials sciences relevant to the following: * Critical minerals – the natural resource for obtaining critical elements; * Critical elements – atomic elements that are subject to supply risks and are incorporated in critical materials; and * Critical materials – substances that provide essential functionality in key technologies and have no easy substitutes. Critical elements play a central role in both critical minerals and critical materials. These elements influence the mineral properties as well as the mechanisms of incorporation and extraction of the critical elements. They also dictate the properties that control the function of critical materials, including both molecules and materials, used in a broad range of technologically important and energy relevant applications. These properties include superconductivity, magnetism, quantum phenomena, light generation, magnetocaloric behavior, and catalytic activity. This FOA is focused on gaining an understanding of the fundamental properties and mechanisms of critical minerals, elements, and materials to improve separation and extraction processes and to enable discovery and design of alternates to critical materials that reduce or eliminate the need for critical elements. Thus, this fundamental knowledge will support the DOE strategy to diversify supply, develop substitutes, and improve reuse and recycling of critical minerals and materials. While multiple elements have been identified as critical based on their availability and technological importance, this funding opportunity is restricted to basic research related to rare earth and platinum group elements.
