US-based academic institutions. Non-profit research organizations. Qualified researchers (typically requires US citizenship or permanent residency)
About this opportunity
All proposals submitted to the Physics Division that are not governed by another solicitation (such as CAREER) must be submitted to its division-wide solicitation: Division of Physics: Investigator-Initiated Research Projects. --- The nuclear theory program encompasses the structure and reactions of nuclei, and of hadrons in few-nucleon and nuclear environments, and the quark/gluon substructure expressed by Quantum Chromodynamics. Supported research includes contributions to fundamental theoretical aspects of nuclear physics, as well as model building and applications to astrophysical phenomena and to experimental programs at facilities such as the Facility for Rare Isotope Beams, the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, and the Jefferson Laboratory. This includes formulating new approaches fo...
