The four subprogram areas and their objectives are organized around answering these five key questions. Research activities supported by the Office of Nuclear Physics are aligned with and contribute to the overall progress of the following long term performance measures:
- Make precision measurements of fundamental properties of the proton, neutron and simple nuclei for comparison with theoretical calculations to provide a quantitative understanding of their quark substructure.
- Recreate brief, tiny samples of hot, dense nuclear matter to search for the quark-gluon plasma and characterize its properties.
- Investigate new regions of nuclear structure, study interactions in nuclear matter like those occurring in neutron stars, and determine the reactions that created the nuclei of atomic elements inside stars and supernovae.
- Measure fundamental properties of neutrinos and test fundamental symmetries of nature that are relevant to the field of nuclear physics or that use the atomic nucleus as a laboratory.
A renewal application must be submitted to Grants.gov no later than six months before the scheduled expiration of the project period. When submitting a renewal application, applications should be in response to the Annual Notice: Submission of Renewal and Supplemental Applications for Office of Science Grants and Cooperative Agreements ( DE-PS02-07ER07-02). Renewal applications must follow the instructions in the FOA and include the following:
1. Include under the project description section, information on any research changes (size or scope) that affect the original research endeavor;
2. An estimate of anticipated unexpended funds that will remain at the end of the current project period; and,
3. A progress report as a separate section that describes the results of work accomplished through the date of the renewal application and how such results relate to the activities proposed to be undertaken in the renewal period.
