Neutrinoless Double-beta decay (0ν ββ-decay) is an important probe for physics beyond the standard model, as it is perhaps the most sensitive probe of neutrino mass and character. The interest in, and the relevance of, next-generation 0ν ββ-decay experiments is increasing, with nonzero neutrino mass strongly suggested by the Super Kamiokande and SNO neutrino oscillation results. Double-beta decay experiments remain the only way to establish the Dirac or Majorana nature of neutrinos. Furthermore, a number of planned experiments aim for sensitivities below 50 meV, the interesting mass range indicated by the atmospheric neutrino oscillation results. Many of these experiments are aided by two major opportunities of our time: the development of a National Underground Science Laboratory (NUSL); and the end of the cold war, allowing collaboration with former Russian Federation isotopic enrichment facilities. A summary of the proposals for future double beta decay work will be described.
