The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting research proposals in plasma physics through its Division of Physics. - Government Buyer: - U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Physics - Scope of Research: - Broad range of plasma physics topics, including: - Magnetized plasmas - High energy density plasmas - Low temperature plasmas - Dusty and ultra-cold plasmas - Non-neutral plasmas - Intense field-matter interactions - Proposals may include curriculum development and initiatives to broaden participation in STEM - Eligibility and Duration: - Open to all eligible applicants (unrestricted) - Projects may last up to five years - Notable Requirements: - Emphasis on diversity and inclusion in STEM - No specific OEMs, vendors, or products required (research grant, not product procurement) - Multi-year funding possible (up to five years) - No product or equipment procurement is specified; focus is on research services and programmatic outcomes
Description
The solicitation is for research proposals in the area of plasma physics submitted to the Division of Physics at the U.S. National Science Foundation. It supports research on fundamental principles governing plasma behavior and its applications across various sub-areas including magnetized plasmas, high energy density plasmas, low temperature plasmas, and others. The program encourages efforts to increase diversity and broaden participation in STEM fields related to plasma physics. Proposals may be submitted for projects requiring up to five years and should be directed appropriately if focused on related but distinct areas such as atomic physics or astrophysics.
