Additional Information on Eligibility: DOE Eligibility Criteria: Applicants from U.S. Colleges and universities, non-profit organizations, for-profit commercial organizations, state and local governments, and unaffiliated individuals. Researchers from other Federal agencies are encouraged to submit a preapplication referencing this FOA DE-PS02-08ER08-03; if a formal proposal is encouraged, additional submission information will be provided. USDA Eligibility Criteria: The source of USDA funds to support the fiscal year (FY) 2008 Plant Feedstock Genomics for Bioenergy Program is the National Research Initiative (NRI) Competitive Grants Program. Except where otherwise prohibited by law, State agricultural experiment stations, all colleges and universities, other research institutions and organizations, Federal agencies, national laboratories, private organizations or corporations, and individuals are eligible to apply for and to receive a competitive grant. Faculty at small and mid-sized academic institutions with limited institutional success and faculty at institutions in USDA Experimental Program for Stimulating Competitive Research (EPSCoR) entities are encouraged to apply (for definitions of small and mid-sized institutions and for EPSCoR eligibility see Part II, C., 2.(c) of the FY 2008 NRI Request for Applications at http://www.csrees.usda.gov/funding/rfas/nri_rfa.html). Applications from scientists at non-U.S. organizations will not be accepted. Award recipients may subcontract to organizations not eligible to apply, provided such organizations are necessary for the conduct of the project. This program is listed in the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) under 10.206, Grants for Agricultural Research Competitive Research Grants.
Grant Description: The U.S. Department of Energy apos;s Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Cooperative State Research, Education, and Extension Service (CSREES), National Research Initiative (NRI) Competitive Grants Program hereby announce their interest in receiving applications for genomics-based research that will lead to the improved use of biomass and plant feedstocks for the production of fuels such as ethanol or renewable chemical feedstocks. Specifically, applications are sought for fundamental research on plants that will improve biomass characteristics, biomass yield, or sustainability. Systems biology approaches to identify genetic indicators enabling plants to be efficiently bred or manipulated, or research that yields fundamental knowledge of the structure, function and organization of plant genomes leading to improved feedstock characterization and sustainability are also encouraged.
