Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of ScienceFinancial Assistance Program | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity, titled "Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-PS02-09ER09-01), is a standing, open solicitation from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science indicating its ongoing interest in receiving grant applications across a broad set of scientific research and workforce development areas. It is categorized as a discretionary grant under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, and it is associated with CFDA number 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program). The administering office listed is the DOE Chicago Service Center.

The core purpose of the solicitation is to support work in multiple Office of Science program areas: Basic Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, Advanced Scientific Computing, Fusion Energy Sciences, and Biological and Environmental Research, along with workforce development activities for teachers and scientists. In practical terms, this means the DOE is inviting proposals that advance fundamental science and enabling technologies tied to the nation’s energy, physics, computing, fusion, and environmental research priorities, as well as proposals that strengthen the pipeline of educators and researchers who contribute to these fields.

A key feature of this announcement is that it is a continuation of an older, formally established solicitation framework. The DOE references a Federal Register publication dated September 3, 1992, when the Office of Energy Research Financial Assistance Program (now renamed the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program) was issued as a Final Rule under 10 CFR Part 605. That regulation is presented as the governing source for how this program operates. Instead of restating detailed requirements in the notice itself, the announcement points applicants to 10 CFR Part 605 for the program’s rules, including how to submit an application, who is eligible, any limitations or constraints, and how applications are evaluated and selected. In other words, the solicitation functions as an umbrella invitation, while the detailed administrative and merit review mechanics are handled by the standing regulatory framework.

Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity, with the caveat that any specific boundaries would be clarified in the official text under the "Additional Information on Eligibility" section (not included in the excerpt). The opportunity explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, though applicants would still be expected to propose realistic, well-justified budgets consistent with federal grant requirements.

In terms of timing and availability, the notice shows a posted date of October 1, 2008, and a creation date of October 27, 2009, with an original closing date of December 31, 2008, and a later current closing date listed as October 31, 2009. The announcement also includes an attention note stating it would remain open until February 27, 2009, or until replaced by another issuance, whichever occurred first. Taken together, these dates suggest the solicitation was designed to be continuously available for a period of time (and subject to being superseded), rather than operating like a single, one-time deadline-only competition. The record also indicates an archive date of January 1, 2010, signaling it is no longer active after that point.

For applicants seeking help accessing the full announcement or experiencing technical issues, the notice provides points of contact. It lists the IIPS HelpDesk email (iipshelpdesk@e-center.doe.gov) for electronic access or linking problems, and it provides a program contact, Lori Jernigan (Lori.Jernigan@science.doe.gov). The solicitation also references an "Additional Information Link" where the full opportunity details and submission instructions would be available, including any accompanying documents that explain how to apply under this continuing solicitation.

Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a broad, ongoing DOE Office of Science grant invitation that routes applicants into established Office of Science funding channels and rules under 10 CFR Part 605. It signals that proposals aligned with the listed research disciplines and workforce development goals are within scope, while directing applicants to the formal regulation and the full announcement materials for the specific submission process, review criteria, and administrative requirements.
