The Coordinated Research Projects (CRPs) are normally three to five-year joint projects of a group of (up to twelve) laboratories, research teams or institutions, performing coordinated research to achieve certain well defined goal (e.g. establishment of a particular database, data generation, compilation and assessment for specific types of A+M collision processes, or classes of such processes, etc.). The CRPs generally produce a significant amount of new data on the collision processes or structural properties of elements or materials relevant to fusion energy research, or perform detailed critical assessments of the existing data and selection of sets of "recommended" data (or best available at the time of assessment).
The CRP results of adequate accuracy and completeness are stored in ALADDIN and published in the IAEA publication "Atomic and Plasma-Material Interaction Data for Fusion":APID Series.
The participants of a three year CRP normally have three Research Coordination Meetings (RCMs) separated by an 18 month period. During the last 10 years the IAEA A+M Data Unit has been running about 3-4 active CRPs each year.
