and other interested parties about the

future implementation of this program,

as soon as possible, without unduly

delaying this year’s grant competition.

Accordingly, the Secretary has

grants for one-year project periods in FY

2001, rather than to award grants for

three-year project periods. The

extension of the application deadline is

intended to provide eligible applicants,

who have begun preparation of threeyear project applications based on the

March 28, 2001 notice, with additional

time to revise their applications in

accordance with this notice of

New Deadline for Transmittal of

Applications: June 21, 2001.

DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Nonproliferation and National Security

University Research Initiative (NNURI)

AGENCY: Idaho Operations Office,

Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of availability of

solicitation.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy (DOE) Office of Research and

Engineering (NN–20), of the Office of

Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation (NN),

National Nuclear Security

Administration (NNSA), in keeping

with its mission to strengthen the

Nation’s capabilities in the areas of

nonproliferation of weapons of mass

destruction and national security

through the support of science,

engineering and mathematics,

announces its interest in receiving grant

applications from academic researchers,

preferably in collaborative partnerships

with U.S. Department of Energy

Laboratories. The purpose of this

program is to expand our national

capability to detect illicit nuclear

proliferation activities and to attract

new talent to national security research

and development organizations. The

DOE is seeking applications from

domestic private and public institutions

of higher learning to support innovative

research in areas that will contribute to

the Department of Energy’s

Nonproliferation and National Security

missions.

DATES: The deadline for receipt of

applications is 5 p.m. MDT June 18,

2001. The issuance date of Solicitation

No. DE–PS07–01ID14060 will be

approximately May 9, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Applications should be

submitted through DOE’s Industry

Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) at

http://e-center.doe.gov.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marshall Garr, Contract Specialist, at

garrmc@id.doe.gov or telephone (208)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

purpose of this program is to expand

our national capability to detect illicit

nuclear proliferation activities and to

attract new talent to national security

research and development

organizations. The DOE is seeking

applications from domestic private and

public institutions of higher learning to

support innovative research in areas

that will contribute to the Department of

Energy’s Nonproliferation and National

Security missions. Approximately

$600,000 in federal funds is expected to

be available to fund the first year of

selected research efforts. DOE

anticipates making 3 grant awards, each

with a budget of $200,000 per year and

a project performance period of three

years. Additional grants may be

awarded at a later date if more funding

becomes available. There is a limit of

one award per institution. Award of a

grant under this solicitation does not

commit the Government to fund any

follow-on research. Successful

applicants will be required to submit

annual and final reports to DOE. Project

performance periods are divided into

budget periods. Each budget period is

12 months, beginning on the day of

award. Continuation of the award into

each new budget period will be based

on submission of timely and informative

reports; adequate progress based on

reports and site visits from DOE

representatives; and adequate planning

for the new budget period. Planning

should be based on the budget period

not the fiscal or calendar year. All U.S.

institutions of higher learning, whether

private or public, may submit

applications in response to this

solicitation. DOE anticipates that federal

funds provided through this solicitation

will be used to support research and

development (R&D) by faculty and

students at institutions of higher

learning. Collaboration or a close

working relationship with a DOE

National Laboratory is strongly

encouraged; however, no award dollars

can be used to fund DOE Laboratory

activities.

The solicitation will be available in

full text via the Internet on DOE’s

Industry Interactive Procurement

System (IIPS) at http://e-center.doe.gov.

Technical and non-technical questions

should be submitted in writing to

Marshall Garr by e-mail

garrmc@id.doe.gov, or facsimile at 208–

526–5548 no later than May 22, 2001.

The statutory authority for this

program is the National Defense

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000

(Pub. L. 106–65).
