Additional Eligibility Information
To address workforce development needs, eligibility for award is restricted, in accordance with 2 CFR 910.126(b), to U.S. accredited institutions of higher education with graduate programs of study in physics, applied physics, accelerator science, and/or engineering, and with at least one faculty member working specifically in the field of accelerator physics. Minority serving institutions (e.g., Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Black-serving non-HBCUs, Hispanic-serving institutions, Asian-serving institutions, and American Indian-serving institutions) with these types of graduate study programs are encouraged to apply. Universities with cooperative programs, which share coursework between two or more colleges and universities to meet the above requirements are also encouraged to apply.

Description

The DOE SC program in High Energy Physics (HEP) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for the DOE Traineeship in Accelerator Science and Engineering, which provides support to address critical, targeted workforce development in fields of interest to the DOE mission. Up to two cooperative agreements may be awarded to provide funding to universities or consortia of universities to support tuition, stipend, and travel costs for students enrolled in specific accelerator science and engineering degree programs, and to provide modest support for curriculum development and program administration support. Award terms are expected to be up to five years, with the possibility of renewal for a second term. This program does not support generalized lines of Research and Development (R&D) separated from educational and developmental efforts: The purpose of awards resulting from this FOA must be for education and training, which may be conducted through research. Support for accelerator R&D is provided through the HEP General Accelerator R&D and the Accelerator R&D and Production (ARDAP) Accelerator Stewardship programs, through accelerator R&D programs elsewhere in DOE, and by other federal agencies.
