Opportunity Summary:
The Fellowship/Scholarship Program (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000304) is a discretionary grant opportunity in the energy area (CFDA 81.121, Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration) offered through the U.S. Department of Energy, Idaho Field Office. Its purpose is to strengthen the pipeline of future nuclear professionals by supporting education and training for students who plan to become nuclear scientists, engineers, or policy makers. The program is aimed at students enrolled at U.S. colleges and universities in nuclear-related programs at the graduate level, undergraduate level, and in two-year course-of-study programs.
A key feature of this opportunity is that awards are described as "zero dollar awards" at the federal award level, with funding provided in practice through student applications routed via their universities. In other words, the administrative award mechanism itself does not include a separate pot of money for institutional use; instead, the intent is that any funds associated with awards made under this announcement flow to and are used only for student support. Consistent with that intent, the announcement explicitly prohibits indirect costs and other institutional add-ons: no indirects, general and administrative costs, overhead, profit, or similar charges are allowed. The money is meant to directly support students rather than university operating expenses.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including both private institutions of higher education and public/state-controlled institutions of higher education. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument type is a grant, and applications were accepted on a continuous basis for a defined window, with the solicitation originally closing on March 3, 2011 and later extended so that applications could be submitted continuously up to the current closing date of March 3, 2012. The posting date listed is March 5, 2010, with a creation date of February 18, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on May 3, 2012.
