initiated support for between five and

ten new Outstanding Junior

Investigators each year. The program

has been very successful and

contributes importantly to the vigor of

the U.S. High Energy Physics program.

Applicants should request support

under this notice for normal research

project costs as required to conduct

their proposed research activities. The

full range of activities currently

supported by the Division of High

Energy Physics is eligible for support

under this program.

The DOE expects to make five to ten

grant awards in fiscal year 1999 to meet

the objectives of this program. It is

anticipated that approximately $400,000

will be available in fiscal year 1999,

subject to availability of appropriated

funds. In the past, awards have averaged

$50,000 per year, with the number of

awards determined by the number of

excellent applications and the total

funds available for this program.

Multiple year funding of grant awards is

expected, with funding provided on an

annual basis subject to availability of

funds. Renewal beyond the initial

project period is normal so long as the

recipient’s tenure status is unchanged.

Applications will be subjected to a

formal competitive merit review and

will be evaluated against the following

criteria, which are listed in descending

order of importance as set forth in 10

CFR Part 605:

1. Scientific and/or technical merit of

the project;

2. Appropriateness of the proposed

method or approach;

3. Competency of applicant’s

personnel and adequacy of proposed

resources; and

4. Reasonableness and

appropriateness of the proposed budget.

General information about

development and submission of

applications, eligibility, limitations,

evaluations and selection processes, and

other policies and procedures are

contained in the Application Guide for

the Office of Energy Research Financial

Assistance Program and 10 CFR Part
