  The project of Nuclotron-based Ion Collider fAcility NICA under development at JINR (Dubna) is presented. The general goals of the project are providing of colliding beams for experimental studies of both hot and dense strongly interacting baryonic matter and spin physics (in collisions of polarized protons and deuterons). The first program requires providing of heavy ion collisions in the energy range of 4 - 11 GeV at average luminosity of 1027 cm-2*s-1 for 197Au79+ nuclei. The report contains description of the facility scheme and characteristics in heavy ion operation mode, status and plans of the project development.

  Since last RuPAC five runs of the Nuclotron operation were performed. Diagnostic and control systems were improved. Commissioning of new quench detection system was completed. Deuteron beam was accelerated up to maximum design energy corresponding to 2 T of the dipole magnetic field. Stochastic cooling of coasting deuteron, coasting and bunched carbon beams was obtained. First run with new heavy ion source was performed. Results of these and other works are presented.
