Good Morning:

Today, ARPA-E published a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for up to $20 million for the Modeling Enhanced Innovations Trailblazing Nuclear Energy Reinvigoration (MEITNER) program. The deadline to submit Concept Papers for this FOA is 5:00PM ET, Monday, December 4, 2017.

Through the MEITNER program, ARPA-E seeks to identify and develop innovative technologies to enable the advanced nuclear reactor design community to mature their designs for future commercial deployment. These enabling technologies can establish the basis for a modern, domestic supply chain supporting nuclear technology. The MEITNER program targets transformative technologies that simultaneously achieve lower construction cost and autonomous operations while increasing safety.

Additional information, including a FOA summary, the full FOA, and how to find project teaming partners, is available on ARPA-E’s online application portal at the following link:https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov/Default.aspx#FoaId9688fafc-3b63-42af-9786-77d930987b4a  
                                                                                             
ARPA E encourages outstanding scientists, engineers, and practitioners from different organizations, scientific disciplines, and technology sectors to form new project teams for the MEITNER program. In addition to the advanced nuclear reactor design community, the following disciplines and sectors will also be helpful in advancing the technologies encouraged by MEITNER:

·         mechanical engineering
·         computer science
·         robotics
·         sensors
·         civil and environmental engineering
·         chemical engineering
·         materials science

We apologize if this notification has been sent to you more than once; we are trying to reach the largest possible audience. To that end, please forward this email to any colleagues who may be interested. If you or your colleagues have any questions please submit them by email to ARPA-E-CO@hq.doe.gov.

Sincerely,

ARPA-E Communications
