Visit funder's website →FY2026 Research Opportunities in Accelerator Stewardship and Accelerator Development is a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, High Energy Physics program, that funds cross-cutting, use-inspired basic research and development to advance accelerator science and technology (AS&T) and domestic supplier development.
The program supports two tracks: Track 1 covers Accelerator Stewardship Topical Areas and is open to all responsible domestic organizations; Track 2 supports Collaborative Accelerator Research Teams (CARTs) for long-term generic accelerator research and is restricted to current Track 2 PI organizations. Funded work must benefit both DOE's physical sciences activities and other U.S. government agencies or industry.
A pre-application is required prior to full submission. Award amounts are not specified in the announcement.

gov The DOE SC program in High Energy Physics (HEP) hereby announces its interest in applications to conduct cross-cutting use-inspired basic research and development (R&D) to advance accelerator science and technology (AS&T) and domestic supplier development that supports SC’s activities in physical sciences research and which is of broader benefit to other U.S. government agencies and industry.
Please note that this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) is for cross-cutting R&D and domestic supplier development and that program-specific AS&T R&D is supported though NOFOs issued by each SC program. Track 1: Accelerator Stewardship Topical Areas Applications for activities in Track 1: Accelerator Stewardship Topical Areas will be accepted from all responsible domestic organizations capable of meeting the objectives of this NOFO.
Track 2: Collaborative Accelerator Research Teams (CARTs) for Long-Term Generic Accelerator Research Applications for terminal renewal awards under Track 2: Collaborative Accelerator Research Teams (CARTs) for Long-Term Generic Accelerator Research are restricted to Track 2 PIs organizations with a current award that ends before September 30, 2026.
Eligibility is limited in Track 2 to current PIs at organizations with awards expiring within FY 2026 while Track 2 changes from a single-PI/single-institution funding model to a multi-PI/multi-institution funding model. The one-year-long terminal renewal award is offered to allow a smooth transition to other funding sources (which might include participating in a multi-PI/multi-institution award).
Track 4b: Accelerator Technology Partnerships Eligibility is limited in Track 4b to domestic for-profit organizations, as the intent of this Track is to develop U.S. companies capable of producing particle accelerator components for DOE and commercial purposes. Track 3 (Accelerator Stewardship Test Facility Program) and Track 4a (Accelerator-Technology Sector Business Plans) are no longer accepting applications.
