美国能源部拨款1500万美元资助14个粒子加速器项目：推进癌症治疗、材料与制造
美国能源部（U.S. Department of Energy，DOE）10月26日在华盛顿宣布，选定14个研究项目、合计拨款1500万美元，推进粒子加速器技术的发展与应用，方向涵盖癌症治疗、材料科学、先进制造与国家安全。
能源部表示，粒子加速器提供独特的光源与粒子源，支持全球数以千计科学家的研究；加速器技术每年直接参与生产价值超过5000亿美元的商品，并用于治疗500多万名癌症患者。此次入选项目汇集全美29家机构，包括14所大学、8个国家实验室和7家公司，由能源部科学办公室的加速器管理（Accelerator Stewardship）与加速器发展（Accelerator Development）计划支持，面向医疗、工业、环境与安全领域的关键挑战。
能源部介绍，入选项目将推进癌症治疗手段、开发用于安全领域的自动化加速器系统、发展超快激光技术、束流物理与新型超导体，并通过公私合作强化超导线材、电缆与射频腔等关键部件的国内供应。
能源部表示，项目经2026财年资助机会公告（NOFO）同行评审竞争选出，资助期最长三年，款项全额前置拨付。项目清单与详情见能源部高能物理计划奖励页面。
U.S. Department of Energy Awards $15 Million to 14 Particle Accelerator Projects for Medicine, Materials and Manufacturing
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced in Washington on October 26 the selection of 14 research projects to receive a combined $15 million in funding to advance particle accelerator technologies for scientific discovery, healthcare innovation, materials and manufacturing, and national security.
Particle accelerators provide unique sources of light and particles that support the research of thousands of scientists worldwide, play a direct role in the production of more than $500 billion in goods annually, and treat more than 5 million cancer patients each year, the department said. The selected projects bring together scientists at 29 U.S. institutions, including 14 universities, 8 national laboratories and 7 companies, under the DOE Office of Science's Accelerator Stewardship and Accelerator Development programs.
The projects will seek to accelerate cancer treatments, develop automated accelerator systems for security applications, advance ultrafast laser technology, beam physics and novel superconductors, and strengthen domestic suppliers of superconductor wire, cable and RF cavities through public-private collaboration.
Projects were selected through competitive peer review under the DOE Notice of Funding Opportunity for fiscal year 2026 research opportunities in accelerator stewardship and accelerator development, the department said. Total funding is $15 million for projects lasting up to three years, with awards fully forward funded.
