DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Morgantown Energy Technology Center; Research Opportunity
Announcement (ROA) Applied Research and Development
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Morgantown Energy Technology
Center.
[[Page 19918]]
ACTION: Issue of a research opportunity announcement.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy is soliciting proposals for
supporting the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Science
and Technology's applied research efforts for the development of
technologies having potential applications in the Environmental
Restoration and Waste Management (EM) program. Technologies which do
not duplicate existing work; complement or enhance existing or planned
work; and best serve the needs of the EM program are desired. A
proposed technology may be a device, process, material, or method that
improves DOE's capabilities in the following areas: subsurface
containment; mixed waste characterization, treatment, and disposal;
tank waste remediation; decontamination and decommissioning;
characterization, monitoring, and sensor technology; efficient
separations and processing; and robotics technology development
program.
For the purpose of this program, ``applied research'' is the
systematic application of knowledge toward the production of useful
devices, materials, or methods, including design, development, and
improvement of prototypes and processes to meet specific requirements.
Proposals for basic research are not desired under this ROA. Proposals
will not be accepted for which the purpose is demonstration.
It is not the purpose of this solicitation to support, and no
proposal will be selected to conduct, support service activities,
conference or training activities, or projects which do not conduct
research (e.g., paper studies). Proposals submitted in response to this
ROA must address one, and only one, of the need areas. If an Offeror
has the desire to propose to more than one need area, multiple
proposals must be submitted.
DATES: Proposals may be submitted at any time after the issuance date
of this ROA up to and including one year after the issue date.
Proposals must state an acceptance period of at least 180 days.
ADDRESSES/FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: The ROA and an Information
Package are available on the Internet at http://www.metc.doe.gov/
