Folks,

See below. It is universities PIs meeting, while it is open for all and you or your staff might be interested to attend. Certainly let our university colleagues who might be interested to apply know (even if they get this announcement via other lists).

Thanks, Dmitri.

Dear Colleagues,

 

We hope this finds you and all our fellow colleagues at the universities and the national laboratories safe and well.

 

The Office of High Energy Physics (HEP) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) are preparing the FY 2024 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for our annual comparative review of research proposals submitted by U.S. academic institutions. We expect the FOA to be issued later this year. The exact deadlines will be provided as soon as they become available.

 

In order to brief and guide the HEP community on the FOA and to provide a status and overview of the DOE-supported HEP program as well as other HEP-supported FOAs, we invite you to a Virtual HEP Principal Investigator (PI) Meeting to be held on August 15-16, 2023.  The meeting will be in the same spirit as previously held DOE-HEP PI meetings but will be conducted online only through the use of Zoom teleconferencing. 

 

This invitation is also extended to co-PIs on an existing DOE grant, those PIs interested in applying to future DOE FOAs, and interested national laboratory staff. This email is being sent to lead PIs on existing DOE HEP grants, so please forward to other colleagues who may be interested.

 

The format for the meeting includes the following:

 

• General presentations during a plenary Zoom session covering the overall DOE-HEP program, budgetary issues, and different HEP FOAs at DOE which PIs may apply to.

 

• Parallel Zoom sessions led by individual DOE-HEP Program Managers (PMs). Parallel topics are planned to include multiple HEP research areas, but individual sessions are yet to be confirmed (check agenda for updates). These sessions will provide an opportunity for PMs to present PIs with detailed guidance on preparing applications for the DOE-HEP merit review process and discussing programmatic priorities and budgetary factors for the respective subprogram.

 

We believe the above virtual meeting will benefit investigators and their research groups and provide an opportunity for all researchers to better understand the DOE-HEP program. To take advantage of this opportunity, we encourage you to visit the PI Meeting website at:

 

https://www.orau.gov/heppi2023

 

This link will be updated periodically to include information on the agenda and Zoom information, links to PM presentations, and other pertinent information for the PI. Questions for DOE HEP staff can also be submitted in advance on the website, and we will try to ensure these are addressed in the presentations. If there are any questions about the meeting agenda or logistics, please feel free to contact Christie Ashton (christie.ashton AT science.doe.gov) and William Kilgore (William.kilgore AT science.doe.gov)  in our DOE-HEP office.

 

We thank you for continuing to deliver excellent scientific results and advancing DOE’s mission in support of our programs. Be well and stay safe.

 

Sincerely,

 

Glen Crawford

Director, Research and Technology Division
