Stewardship science academic alliances (ssaa)

The objectives of the SSAA Program are to: ? Support the U.S. scientific community by funding research projects at universities (see Section IV.A for eligibility requirements) that conduct fundamental science and technology research that is of relevance to Stockpile Stewardship; ? Provide opportunities for intellectual challenge and collaboration by promoting scientific interactions between the academic community and scientists at the DOE/NNSA laboratories; and ? Develop and maintain a long-term recruiting pipeline to the DOE/NNSA laboratories by training and educating the next generation of scientists in the fundamental research of relevance to Stockpile Stewardship and thereby increasing the visibility of the DOE/NNSA scientific activities to the U.S. academic communities. C. Technical Scope and Topical Research Areas The DOE/NNSA will consider applications for university-led research in one or more of the fundamental areas of physical sciences outlined below. Consideration will be given to proposals that emphasize experimental efforts, although proposals to advance theory that have a strong, demonstrable connection to experimental efforts will be considered. All proposed work to be funded through this SSAA program announcement is to be UNCLASSIFIED. No proposals for CLASSIFIED work will be accepted. 1. Topic Research Area # 1: Properties of Materials under Extreme Conditions and/or Hydrodynamics Research proposals are solicited in the area of fundamental ...
