Can universities request access to DOE test facilities in order to obtain necessary experimental data?
Yes, you can certainly make such a request in your proposal if you don’t have any other means to get the needed data. However, it should be recognized that the DOE test facilities are not managed by the NNSA Advanced Simulation and Computing (ASC) Program and are in extreme demand, so the possibility that ASC can deliver on such a request is very minimal. We will attempt our best to facilitate the dialogue between the proposer and the specific DOE facility sponsor program. In case you wish to make contact with those programs, information on the NNSA Office of Defense Science, Secondaries and Inertial Fusion Division, can be found at http://www.nnsa.doe.gov/sif/, and on DOE Office of Science at http://www.sc.doe.gov/.
