CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: The Association for Advancement of Research on Open Probl
 ems in Nuclear Physics & Particle Physics (OPRA) seeks to fund researchers
  who wish to investigate the discrepancies between existing theories and e
 xperimental findings\, and the mathematical consistency of physical theori
 es. Too often such findings do not receive the attention they deserve. Our
  belief is that these findings may well be the basis for groundbreaking th
 eories\, and therefore should get special attention to overpower the inert
 ia of supporters of presently accepted theories and their instinctive tend
 ency to marginalize such findings.\n\nOPRA funds research projects that fa
 ll within their funding areas\, which span:\n\n	Nuclear Physics\n	\n		A pr
 oblem in the photon-nucleon interaction\n		The EMC effect Problem\n		The s
 imilarities between the nuclear and the molecular potential\n		The tensor 
 force in the Deuteron\n	\n	\n	Strong Interactions\n	\n		Antiquarks in the 
 Proton\n		Collision of polarized proton\n		Isospin States of Mesons and Ba
 ryons\n		Model of Mesons\n		Problems in Strange Hadrons\n		The Neutron’s
  Mean Square Charge Radius\n		The Proton-Proton Cross Section\n		 The Pro
 ton Spin Crisis\n		 The Radial Density of the Proton’s Quarks\n	\n	\n	W
 eak Interactions\n	\n		Problem with the Electroweak Theory \n		Flavor Gen
 erations and the W\, Z Bosons\n		 Locality Problems of Massive Quantum Pa
 rticles\n		Parity violation in weak interactions\n		Problems in the Electr
 oweak Gamma5 Factor\n	\n	\n\n\nFunding:       max. $210K ($70K/year)
 \n\nDuration:      max. 3 years\n\nEligibility: Researchers from loca
 l and foreign Institutions are eligible to submit applications for grants.
  The person submitting the Application must be in charge of the scientific
  execution of the research. The applicants can be PhD students\, postdocto
 ral fellows\, or established researchers. The proposed research must explo
 re at least one of the topics given in the Funding Areas list.\n\nHow to A
 pply: Applicants must first complete and submit the Application Form. The 
 form contains questions on personal details\, and requests a personal stat
 ement\, research title\, and research description. The applicant should at
 tach to this form approval letters from the Institute\, a suggested resear
 ch budget\, previous publications\, selected peer publications and letters
  of recommendation. The form and its attachments can be sent to this addr
 ess. For assistance with the Institutional approval letter\, or for the In
 stitutional signature on the Application form\, contact the Research Offic
 e.\n\nDeadline:      30 April 2023\n\nFurther information\n\n\n	More 
 information about the program is available here\n	Applications can be subm
 itted by email to grants@oprassn.org\n	For any other questions\, please co
 ntact the Research Office\n\n\n
