This funding opportunity supports investigator-initiated research projects in plasma physics, including magnetized, high energy density, low temperature, dusty, ultra-cold, non-neutral plasmas, and intense field-matter interactions. It encourages proposals that advance fundamental understanding and applications in space physics, astrophysics, fusion, materials science, and engineering. Broader impacts to increase diversity and develop plasma physics curricula are encouraged. Proposals may be up to five years in duration with prior consultation.
Eligibility is unrestricted and open to any type of entity, subject to additional clarifications in the full solicitation text.
