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 jurisdiction¿s 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.
