Collaborative Research in Support of GOAmazon Campaign Science | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, through the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) and its Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD), issued this discretionary grant funding opportunity to solicit collaborative research proposals that would support the GreenOceanAmazon2014 field campaign, commonly referred to as GOAmazon2014. The announcement emphasizes international collaboration, noting that DOE is coordinating interests alongside two major Brazilian research funders: the Amazonas Research Foundation and the Sao Paulo Research Foundation. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at research teams whose proposed work would directly contribute to the scientific goals of the GOAmazon2014 experiment, which focused on atmospheric and environmental processes in the Amazon region.

This opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000919 under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity category is Science and Technology and other Research and Development. Cost sharing is not required, which means applicants were not expected to contribute matching funds as a condition of eligibility. While the listing shows an estimated total funding amount of 0 and award ceiling and floor values of 0, those entries typically indicate that the posting itself does not specify a firm budget in the summary table and that applicants needed to rely on the full announcement details (linked via FedConnect) for any information about potential award sizes, number of awards, and final funding availability.

Eligibility is broadly open and described as unrestricted in the summary, meaning proposals could come from a wide range of entity types, such as universities, national laboratories (where eligible), private sector organizations, state or local governments, and nonprofits, subject to the specific exclusions. The explicit exclusions in the notice are Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors and nonprofit organizations classified under IRS section 501(c)(4) that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995. Aside from those categories, the opportunity is presented as accessible to all applicant types, with any additional constraints or clarifications expected to appear in the full text of the announcement.

Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 15, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 28, 2013, and an archive date of August 15, 2013. That timeline indicates a relatively short submission window typical of campaign-driven field science solicitations, where proposals must align with a planned experiment schedule and associated logistical constraints. Because it is archived, it is no longer open for applications, but it remains useful as a reference point for how DOE structures collaborative calls tied to major atmospheric and environmental measurement campaigns.

The managing agency is the DOE Office of Science, and the program context is clearly anchored in BER/CESD priorities, which generally include understanding Earth system processes, atmospheric composition, aerosols, clouds, land-atmosphere interactions, and related climate-relevant mechanisms. Within that context, GOAmazon2014-related work would reasonably be expected to support campaign science needs such as coordinated measurements, analysis frameworks, model evaluation and improvement, process studies, and the integration of field observations into broader climate and Earth system understanding. The notice itself does not list specific topical areas in the summary excerpt provided, but it makes the intent explicit: proposals should be collaborative and should support the GOAmazon2014 experiment.

For administrative and technical questions, the announcement provides two points of contact: Kimberlie J. Laing, Grants Analyst (301-903-3026, kim.laing@science.doe.gov), and Ashley D. Williamson, Program Manager (301-903-3120, ashley.williamson@science.doe.gov). It also notes that if applicants had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, they should reach out to the grants analyst, and it points users to the FedConnect link for complete details.
