association
with Jefferson Lab and the DOE Office of Nuclear Physics,
announced a detector
R&D program to address the scientific requirements for
measurements at a future
Electron Ion Collider (EIC). The primary goals of this program
are to develop
detector concepts and technologies that have particular
importance for
experiments in an EIC environment, and to help ensure that the
techniques and
resources for implementing these technologies are well
established within the
EIC user community.</span></p>

specific to any
proposed EIC site and is open to all segments of the EIC

Funded proposals will be selected on the basis of peer review by
a standing EIC
Detector Advisory Committee consisting of internationally
recognized experts in
detector technology and collider physics. This committee meets
twice per year,
to hear and evaluate new proposals, and to monitor progress of
ongoing
projects. The program is administered by the BNL Physics
Department, with
limited annual funds, subject to availability of funding from
DOE NP.</span></p>
