NE Voucher Proposal Due Date

FY-2025 2nd Round Proposals Due

January 31, 2025

Proposals for the FY-2025 2nd Round GAIN Nuclear Energy (NE) Vouchers are due by 5:00pm EST on Friday, January 31, 2025. GAIN strongly recommends that prospective voucher applicants reach out to GAIN to discuss their proposal’s scope and cost estimate before they apply. Contact Chris Lohse, Innovation & Technology Manager, at [email protected] or 925-698-9988, to schedule a consultation.

NE vouchers provide advanced nuclear technology innovators with access to the extensive nuclear research capabilities and expertise available across the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory complex. Voucher recipients do not receive direct financial awards. The GAIN nuclear energy vouchers provide access to national laboratory capabilities at no cost to the voucher recipients. All awardees are responsible for a minimum 20 percent cost share, which could be an in-kind contribution.

FY25 SECOND ROUND GUIDELINES 

For this round of proposals, applications must be aligned with the scopes of the following U.S. Department of Energy programs and must not exceed the maximum funding listed. Applications submitted during this round that are outside the technical scope of these programs and/or include a request for more funding than what is available may not be considered for funding.
