hereby announces its interest in

receiving grant applications for support

under its Outstanding Junior

Investigator (OJI) Program. Proposals

should be from non-tenured academic

faculty investigators who are currently

involved in experimental and

theoretical high energy physics or

accelerator physics research, and should

be submitted through a U.S. academic

institution. The purpose of this program

is to support the development of the

individual research programs of

outstanding scientists early in their

careers. Awards made under this

program will help to maintain the

vitality of university research and assure

continued excellence in the teaching of

physics. It is expected that DOE will

issue five to ten grant awards for OJI

research projects during the fiscal year,

depending on the number of meritorious

applications and the availability of

appropriated Fiscal Year 1996 funds.

DATES: To permit timely consideration

for award in Fiscal Year 1996, formal

applications submitted in response to

this notice should be received no later

than 4:30 EST November 1, 1995.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

Outstanding Junior Investigator program

was started in 1978 by the Department

of Energy’s Office of Energy Research. A

principal goal of this program is to

identify exceptionally talented new high

energy physicists early in their careers

and assist and facilitate the

development of their research programs.

In accordance with 10 CFR 600.7(b)(1),

eligibility for awards under this notice

is restricted to non-tenured academic

investigators who are conducting

experimental or theoretical high energy

physics or accelerator physics research

at an established U.S. academic

institution. Since its debut, the program

has initiated support for between five

and ten new Outstanding Junior

Investigators each year. The program

has been very successful and makes an

important contribution to the vigor of

the High Energy Physics program.

Applicants should request support

under this notice for normal research

project costs as required to conduct

their proposed research activities.

General information about

development and submission of

applications, eligibility, limitations,

evaluations and selection processes, and

other policies and procedures are
