The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) is seeking proposals from only DOE National Laboratories for new research in FY2001 for Materials R&D in support of the Next Generation Gas Turbine (NGT) Program. NETL expects that teams of multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional researchers will be required to explore and solve the challenging problems in NGT Materials recently identified in the announcement that appeared on NETL's web-site. Details associated with the program can be found at http://www.netl.doe.gov/business/index.html.
