Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The "Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000411) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science discretionary grant opportunity that supports a wide range of science and technology research and development activities. It functions as a continuing, open solicitation for FY 2011, meaning the announcement is designed to remain available for applicants over an extended period rather than operating as a single short, one-time deadline competition. The program is tied to CFDA number 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program) and is administered through the DOE Chicago Service Center.

A key feature of this FOA is its open submission window. The announcement was posted on September 30, 2010 (with a creation date of October 12, 2010) and remains open for applications until September 30, 2011, or until it is replaced by a successor funding opportunity announcement. During that open period, applications may be submitted at any time, which is important for organizations that need flexibility in aligning proposal development with research planning, institutional timelines, or collaborative arrangements.

The estimated total funding associated with this solicitation is listed at $800,000,000, indicating a large overall program scale across the Office of Science portfolio. While the summary data does not break funding down by specific topic area, award size, or number of anticipated awards, the large total suggests this FOA is intended to cover multiple research areas and many potential awards typical of the Office of Science’s broad R&D mission. The opportunity does not require cost sharing or matching, which reduces the financial barrier for applicants and is especially relevant for institutions that cannot easily commit non-federal funds.

Eligibility is described as "unrestricted" (open to any type of entity), subject to any clarifications contained in the full text under the section titled "Additional Information on Eligibility." In practice, opportunities with this label often allow applications from a wide range of organizations such as universities, national laboratories, nonprofit research organizations, for-profit entities, and potentially state, local, or tribal governments, though the definitive eligibility rules and any exclusions must be confirmed in the FOA itself. Because the short synopsis points applicants to the full announcement for details, anyone considering submission should rely on the official FedConnect FOA text for the authoritative requirements, topic coverage, and application instructions.

The full Funding Opportunity Announcement and the detailed instructions for completing the grant application package are hosted on FedConnect, and the synopsis emphasizes that applicants should obtain and follow those instructions directly from the official posting. For access issues or questions related to obtaining the announcement electronically, the notice provides points of contact within the Office of Science: Kimberlie J. Laing (Grants Analyst, 301-903-3026, kim.laing@science.doe.gov), Linda G. Blevins (301-903-1293, linda.blevins@science.doe.gov), and Deborah A. Greenawalt (301-903-4074, deb.greenawalt@science.doe.gov). The FOA was scheduled for archiving on December 31, 2011, reflecting the end of its active lifecycle after the close date.

Overall, this FOA is best understood as a standing, FY 2011 continuation solicitation under DOE’s Office of Science financial assistance framework: broad in scope, large in total potential funding, open for submissions throughout the year-long window, and governed by the specific technical, administrative, and eligibility instructions contained in the FedConnect full text.
