Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002489
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, through its High Energy Physics (HEP) program, is offering the DOE Traineeship in Accelerator Science and Engineering (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0002489) to strengthen the national workforce pipeline in accelerator-related fields that are directly relevant to DOE mission needs. The focus is explicitly on education and training: the program is meant to develop specialized talent through structured degree programs in accelerator science and engineering, helping ensure that DOE laboratories and the broader U.S. accelerator ecosystem have a steady supply of well-prepared scientists and engineers.
Under this opportunity, DOE expects to make up to two awards, structured as cooperative agreements, to a university or a consortium of universities. The main use of funds is to support students enrolled in designated accelerator science and engineering degree tracks by covering core training-related costs such as tuition, stipends, and travel. In addition, the awards may include modest funding to strengthen or refine the academic program itself, including limited curriculum development and administrative support needed to run the traineeship effectively. The anticipated performance period is up to five years, with the possibility of renewal for a second term, reflecting an intent to build durable training capacity rather than a short, one-off effort.
A key boundary of the program is that it is not intended to fund broad, standalone accelerator research and development (R and D) that is disconnected from the educational mission. While research activities can be part of the training experience, the purpose of the award must remain education and workforce development rather than general accelerator R and D. DOE emphasizes that dedicated accelerator R and D support is handled through other channels, including the HEP General Accelerator R and D program and the Accelerator R and D and Production (ARDAP) Accelerator Stewardship programs, as well as accelerator R and D programs elsewhere in DOE and other federal agencies.
Eligible applicants include U.S. public and state-controlled institutions of higher education and private institutions of higher education. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 81.049, categorized within science and technology and other research and development, and carries an award ceiling of $4,950,000. Overall, the grant is designed to build and sustain high-quality accelerator education programs by directly supporting students and strengthening program infrastructure, with DOE playing a more involved partnership role consistent with the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for DE FOA 0002489
