Eligible Entities
Eligibility varies with each track:
• Track 1: Accelerator Stewardship Topical Areas will be accepted from all responsible domestic organizations capable of meeting the objectives of this NOFO.
• Track 2: Collaborative Accelerator Research Teams (CARTs) for Long-Term Generic Accelerator Research. Applications are restricted to Track 2 PIs organizations with a current award that ends before September 30, 2026.
• Track 4b: Accelerator Technology Partnerships. Eligibility is limited to domestic for-profit organizations, as the intent of this Track is to develop U.S. companies capable of producing particle accelerator components for DOE and commercial purposes.
Track 3 (Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Program) and Track 4a (Accelerator-Technology Sector Business Plans) are no longer accepting applications.
Eligible Activities
Eligible activities include cross-cutting research and development in accelerator science and technology, as well as domestic supplier development. The central goals of the program are to:
• Engage the expertise and facilities of the existing U.S. accelerator R&D ecosystem;
• Enhance the accelerator technology capabilities of U.S. industry;
• Facilitate access to the accelerator R&D capabilities at the SC National Laboratories through the BeamNetUS program;
• Drive a limited number of specific accelerator applications towards practical, testable prototypes in a five to seven (5-7) year timeframe;
• Foster collaboration between developers of accelerator technology and experts who apply accelerator technology; and
• Provide the basic R&D foundation necessary for sustained innovation across a broad range of accelerator applications.
These activities are divided into separate “Tracks” in this NOFO. Applications must address a topic in one Track only. Topics may not be combined between Tracks
