- Description
- The Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology (NE), US Department of Energy (DOE), in cooperation with the Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST) of the Republic of Korea (ROK) is interested in receiving Field Work Proposals (FWPs) for collaborative scientific and engineering research and development (R&D) with participants from the ROK in the field of nuclear energy under the International Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (I-NERI). The I-NERI program is designed to support innovative collaborative research on a bilateral basis to address the principal technical and scientific obstacles to future use of nuclear power world-wide. The Department initiated I-NERI program development and planning early in Fiscal Year 2001. The bilateral US/ROK collaborative R&D program awarded six I-NERI projects to US/ROK teams in December 2001 as a result of the 2001 I-NERI program solicitation. This solicitation is intended to expand the number and scope of projects in the US/ROK collaboration as part of the ongoing development of the I-NERI program with cooperating counties from around the globe. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) between US-DOE and ROK-MOST, dated June 14, 1996, as subsequently amended, constitutes the umbrella agreement for cooperative R&D between DOE and MOST in broad fields of study. The bilateral US/ROK I-NERI collaboration in nuclear energy development was formally authorized and initiated with the mutual approval by DOE and MOST of Annex V to the US/ROK MOU dated May 16, 2001. This program announcement applies only to FWPs from DOE national laboratories for US/ROK collaborations under I-NERI where the laboratory is the lead US performing organization that will be responsible for the proposed work. Where DOE laboratories are included secondarily in international collaborative arrangements with non-federal organizations, and not as lead performers, such joint proposals should be submitted in response to the separate, but equivalent Financial Assistance Solicitation Number DE-RPO6-02RL14400. DOE laboratories participating in a proposal led by a non-federal party must also submit separate FWPs for their portions of the joint proposal in accordance with the guidelines in this RFP and the practices and procedures of their respective local DOE operations offices. The FWPs for I-NERI grants under this solicitation must reflect collaborative arrangements for cooperative R&D involving at least one participant from the US and one participant from the ROK. The ROK participants will be funded under separate financial support from MOST. Participation of ROK parties in I-NERI will be invited through a separate, but equivalent solicitation being issued by MOST simultaneously with this program announcement. Collaborative arrangements may involve US and ROK federal and non-federal organizations, in lead roles and/or as subcontractors. The work scope and corresponding funding of all participants must be separately identified in the applications. A single proposal shall be jointly prepared by the US and ROK lead organizations and shall be submitted by the lead organizations in response to this Program Announcement for each collaborative R&D project.
