Applicants Eligible for this Grant: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"
Additional Information on Eligibility: DOE EPSCoR currently follows National Science Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR eligibility criteria (refer to: http://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/epscor/eligible.jsp ) but further restricts eligibility to submit Implementation Award applications such that: There is only one active Implementation Award that is receiving funding per EPSCoR jurisdiction at a time. Thus if an EPSCoR Implementation Award receives its last funding from DOE EPSCoR in fiscal year 2009, that jurisdiction is eligible to submit an Implementation Award application in fiscal year 2010. Current expectations are that the following jurisdictions will be eligible for this FOA: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and U.S. Virgin Islands. Since DOE is currently following NSF eligibility practice, Iowa and Utah will be eligible to apply to this notice if their respective EPSCoR committees have submitted to NSF an EPSCoR Planning Grant application prior to the closing date of this FOA. EPSCoR jurisdictions meeting the eligibility criteria above may submit one application. The jurisdictions EPSCoR Committee or their designee will have authority and responsibility to select the applicant on behalf of their jurisdiction.
Grant Description: FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Dr. Tim Fitzsimmons, telephone: (301) 903-9830, E-mail: tim.fitzsimmons@science.doe.gov The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) in the Office of Science (SC), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving grant applications for Implementation Awards under its Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). Specifically, applications are sought for improvement of the academic research infrastructure in key science and technology energy-related areas identified by the EPSCoR jurisdictions governing committee. Awards under this program are meant to support a group of scientists and researchers working on a common scientific theme across an EPSCoR jurisdiction or jurisdictions, and are not appropriate mechanisms to provide support for individual faculty science and technology research projects. Implementation Award applications will be accepted from EPSCoR jurisdictions that will not have an active Implementation Award which receives DOE funding in fiscal year 2010. Current expectations are that the following jurisdictions will be eligible for this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA): Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Vermont, Wyoming, and U.S. Virgin Islands. Since DOE is currently following NSF eligibility practice, Iowa and Utah will be eligible to apply to this notice if their respective EPSCoR Committees have submitted to NSF an EPSCoR Planning Grant application prior to the closing date of this FOA.
