Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science Early Career Research Program (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000395) is a discretionary grant opportunity designed to help outstanding scientists at the beginning of their careers build independent research programs and establish long-term research trajectories in areas central to the DOE Office of Science mission. The program focuses on strengthening the pipeline of scientific leadership by providing early, sustained support to promising researchers working in DOE-supported fields. The research areas covered by this opportunity span six major Office of Science program offices: Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR), Biological and Environmental Research (BER), Basic Energy Sciences (BES), Fusion Energy Sciences (FES), High Energy Physics (HEP), and Nuclear Physics (NP). Projects proposed under this announcement are expected to align with one of these program areas and contribute to science and technology research and development priorities supported by the Office of Science.
This particular funding opportunity anticipated making about 50 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $6,000,000. Awards are made as grants, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide institutional matching funds as a condition of eligibility or award. The opportunity falls under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) and is categorized under science and technology and other research and development activities.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. academic institutions as the applicants of record. The announcement explicitly excludes certain entities, including other federal agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors. It also excludes nonprofit organizations described under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 if they engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995. While the individual early-career scientist is the focus of the program, the application must be submitted by an eligible U.S. academic institution on the researcher’s behalf.
Key administrative dates for this announcement include a posted date of July 1, 2010, and an application deadline of November 9, 2010 (both the original and current closing date). The archive date is December 31, 2010, indicating the opportunity is no longer active, but the details remain useful as a reference point for how the DOE structured the program at that time. The issuing agency is listed as the Chicago Service Center. Applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to contact Linda G. Blevins at early.career@science.doe.gov (as provided in the notice), and additional information was available through FedConnect via the link referenced in the listing.
