U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the University Nuclear Leadership Program (formerly the Integrated University Program), Research and Development Grant, Fiscal Year (FY) 2022.
Agencies
Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC)
Description
The program provides funding to support research and development (R&D) 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. University R&D activities provide an opportunity complement current, ongoing
NRC-led research. A summary of NRC planned research activities can be found at
https://www.nrc.gov/about-nrc/regulatory/research/activities.html.
More specifically, the program shall be used to provide financial assistance for R&D 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.
The NRC invites R&D projects that complement its current research portfolio and that help the NRC
prepare for upcoming challenges. The NRC seeks projects that provide a variety of direct and indirect,
near- and longer-term benefits. These benefits include:
• Identification and closure of potentially important technical gaps ahead of regulatory needs,
• Heightened awareness and knowledge of key advanced technology developments being
pursued outside of NRC, and
• Improved foundational knowledge on key topics of future regulatory interest.
Areas of particular interest include:
• Aging/degradation of nuclear plant systems, structures, and components;
• Cyber security impacts of new/advanced technologies at nuclear facilities;
• Application of wireless communications, drones, robotics, and autonomous control in
operations and maintenance activities;
• Digital engineering/analytics, advanced sensors, and digital instrumentation/controls at
nuclear facilities;
• Advanced materials and manufacturing for nuclear applications;
• Advanced construction techniques for nuclear builds;
• Application of digital twin and other digital engineering techniques in the design;
construction, and operations of nuclear facilities;Advanced non-destructive examination techniques, including the application of artificial
intelligence to nuclear applications;
• Evaluation of technical gaps and major uncertainties in assessing risk 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 application;
• 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);
• Analyses, data, and evaluations that will support an understanding of the safety,
technical gaps and major uncertainties for (1) small modular and advanced reactor
designs with emphasis in the areas, natural circulation, heat transfer, 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;
• Analysis models and methods for fuel and cladding performance under steady
state, transient, and accident conditions including fuel fragmentation, relocation,
and dispersal;
• Advanced technology approaches (e.g., data and text analytics and artificial
intelligence) and applications (e.g., data mining, risk communication, autonomous
control) in nuclear power-related applications. Some specific areas of focus could
be (1) assessing or developing methods for explainable artificial intelligence, (2)
gaining new insights from existing publicly available agency datasets (e.g.,
ADAMS, Licensee Event Reports), (3) incorporating equipment failure trends, (4)
using AI for autonomous control in complex systems, (5) optimizing maintenance
activities, (6) using machine learning to study physical processes in materials and
fluid mechanics, including advanced non-destructive examination techniques, and
(7) probabilistic risk assessment, and (8) risk-informed decision-making in
licensing, inspection, and other regulatory activities;
• Evaluation of the radiological releases and offsite consequences for fusion reactor
accidents; and
• Analytical approaches that combine probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) risk
quantification methods with reactor systems sensitivity or uncertainty analysis
methods to quantify the risk significance of safety analysis errors or uncertainties.
An example application might be to quantify the risk significance of a given error in
the safety analysis critical heat flux correlation in terms of the likelihood and
extend of fuel rod failures per year.
Although the NOFO identifies many of the NRC’s 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
Collaborative Program Grant for Multidisciplinary Teams (RM1)
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
Many research questions in biomedical science can be pursued by single investigators and their close collaborators, and are adequately supported by individual and multiple PD/PI research grants. However, the scope of some scientific problems is beyond the capabilities of a small group of investigators. Such complex and challenging research questions benefit from the integrated efforts of teams of research laboratories employing complementary approaches and having multiple areas of intellectual and technical expertise, and the necessary resources to accomplish a unified scientific goal. Such team-based efforts can produce convergent, lasting scientific benefits with high impact, such as the creation of new disciplines of study, resolution of long standing or intractable problems, or definition of new areas that challenge current paradigms.
This funding opportunity announcement (FOA) encourages Collaborative Program Grant applications from institutions/organizations that propose to conduct research to address complex and challenging biomedical problems, important for the mission of NIGMS, through deeply integrated, multidisciplinary research teams. The Collaborative Program Grant is designed to support research in which funding a team of interdependent investigators offers significant advantages over support of individual research project grants. Applications should address critical issues and be sufficiently challenging, ambitious, and innovative that objectives could not be achieved by individual investigators.

Title
Training-based Workforce Development for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (CyberTraining)
Agencies
National Science Foundation (NSF)
Description
This program seeks to prepare, nurture, and grow the national scientific research workforce for creating, utilizing, and supporting advanced
cyberinfrastructure (CI) to enable and potentially transform fundamental science and engineering (S&E) research and education and
contribute to the Nation's overall economic competitiveness and security. The goals of this solicitation are to (i) ensure broad adoption of CI
tools, methods, and resources by the research community in order to catalyze major research advances and to enhance
researchers' abilities to lead the development of new CI; (ii) integrate core literacy and discipline-appropriate advanced skills in
advanced CI as well as computational and data-driven methods for advancing fundamental research, into the Nation's
undergraduate and graduate educational curriculum/instructional materials; and (iii) build communities of research CI professional
staff to deploy, manage, and collaboratively support the effective use of research CI, as well as establish career paths for those staff
within and across institutions and science and engineering (S&E) disciplines. Proposals responding to the Pilot and Implementation
project classes defined in this solicitation may target one or both of the first two solicitation goals, while proposals responding to the CIP
project class must address the third goal. For the purpose of this solicitation, advanced CI is broadly defined as the set of resources, tools,
methods, and services for advanced computation, large-scale data handling and analytics, and networking and security for large-scale
systems that collectively enable potentially transformative fundamental S&E research and education.
This solicitation calls for innovative, scalable training, education, and curriculum/instructional materials, along with deeper incorporation of CI
professionals into the research enterprise — targeting one or more of the solicitation goals — to address emerging needs and unresolved
bottlenecks in S&E research workforce development, from the postsecondary level to active researchers to CI professionals. The funded
activities, spanning targeted, multidisciplinary communities, should lead to transformative changes in the state of research workforce
preparedness for advanced CI-enabled research in the short- and long-term. This solicitation also seeks to broaden CI access and adoption
by (i) increasing adoption of advanced CI and of computational and data-driven methods to a broader range of S&E disciplines and
institutions; (ii) enhancing the incorporation of CI professionals into the research enterprise – highlighting the value of those professionals in
S&E research; and (iii) effectively utilizing the capabilities of individuals from a diverse set of underrepresented groups. Proposals from, and in
partnership with, the aforementioned communities are especially encouraged.
There are three project classes as defined below:
Pilot Projects: up to $300,000 total budget with durations up to two years;
Implementation Projects: Small (with total budgets of up to $500,000) or Medium (with total budgets of up to $1,000,000) for
durations of up to four years; and
CI Professional (CIP) Projects: up to two full-time equivalents (FTEs) per institution and four FTEs total with durations up to five
years.
Section II. Program Description provides a more complete description of the project classes. Section V.A. Proposal Preparation Instructions
describes the proposal elements required for the various project classes in order to address the suitable set of solicitation-specific review
criteria.
The CyberTraining program is led by the Office of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (OAC) in the Directorate for Computer and Information
Science and Engineering (CISE) and has participation from other NSF directorates/divisions as described in Section II. Program Description,
Programmatic Areas of Interest. Not all directorates/divisions are participating at the same level and some have specific research and
education priorities. The appropriate contact for the CyberTraining program in any directorate/division is the Cognizant Program Officer (PO)
for the respective directorate/division/office/program listed below.
All projects are expected to clearly articulate how they address important community needs, will provide resources that will be widely available
to and usable by the research community, and will broaden participation from underrepresented groups. Prospective principal investigators
(PIs) are strongly encouraged to contact the Cognizant Program Officers in CISE/OAC and in the participating directorate/division
relevant to the proposal to ascertain whether the focus and budget of their proposed activities are appropriate for this solicitation.
Such consultations should be completed at least one month in advance of the submission deadline. PIs should include the names of the
Cognizant Program Officers consulted in a Single Copy Document as described in Section V.A. Proposal Preparation Instructions. The intent
of the CyberTraining program is to encourage collaboration between CI and S&E domain disciplines. (For this purpose, units of CISE other
than OAC are considered domain disciplines.) To ensure relevance to community needs and to facilitate adoption, those proposals of interest
to one or more domain divisions must include at least one PI/co-PI with expertise relevant to the targeted research discipline. All proposals
shall include at least one PI/co-PI with expertise relevant to OAC.
Prospective PIs contemplating submissions that primarily target communities relevant to directorates/divisions that are not participating in this
solicitation are directed to instead explore the education and workforce development programs of the respective directorates/divisions.
