RFI - DOE R
DOE Nuclear Energy is seeking ideas, comments, and recommendations from universities, national labs, industry, and international entities to inform future competitive research and development work scopes, with no funding in this action.
⚑ RFI only; no award funding available · Responses must be submitted at NEUP.gov · No deadline stated
This is an input RFI for DOE Nuclear Energy work-scope development, which is adjacent to the team’s nuclear-energy public opinion and risk-perception line, but it is not a research award and offers no direct project to lead. The fit is mainly for Gupta and the survey/risk group because they could comment on nuclear energy, waste, and public acceptance topics, but as written this is more program-shaping than PI-level research.
