Aim: The Association for Advancement of Research on Open Problems in Nuclear Physics & Particle Physics (OPRA) seeks to fund researchers who wish to investigate the discrepancies between existing theories and experimental findings, and the mathematical consistency of physical theories. Too often such findings do not receive the attention they deserve. Our belief is that these findings may well be the basis for groundbreaking theories, and therefore should get special attention to overpower the inertia of supporters of presently accepted theories and their instinctive tendency to marginalize such findings.
OPRA funds research projects that fall within their funding areas, which span:
Funding: max. $210K ($70K/year)
Duration: max. 3 years
Eligibility: Researchers from local 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, postdoctoral fellows, or established researchers. The proposed research must explore at least one of the topics given in the Funding Areas list.
How to Apply: Applicants must first complete and submit the Application Form. The form contains questions on personal details, and requests a personal statement, research title, and research description. The applicant should attach to this form approval letters from the Institute, a suggested research budget, previous publications, selected peer publications and letters of recommendation. The form and its attachments can be sent to this address. For assistance with the Institutional approval letter, or for the Institutional signature on the Application form, contact the Research Office.
Deadline: 30 April 2023
