Energy Innovation Hub–Modeling and Simulation for Nuclear Reactors – The U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Operations Office is issuing this final Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for the Energy Innovation Hub – Modeling and Simulation for Nuclear Reactors program. The purpose of the Energy Innovation Hubs will be to assemble the most talented scientists and technologists to focus intense research and development efforts on the critical areas listed above. The Hubs are designed to accelerate the current state-of-the art energy science and technology toward their fundamental limits and support high-risk, high-reward research projects that produce revolutionary changes in how we produce and use energy. Ideally, each Hub will have a central location housing many investigators, who will likely span multiple disciplines. Each Hub may be led by universities, private for-profit or non-profit firms, or government laboratories. Estimated Total Program Funding: $22,000,000, Award Ceiling: $122,000,000.
