Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science issued this funding notice to continue accepting renewal and supplemental grant applications under its longstanding Office of Science Financial Assistance Program. The opportunity is identified as DE-FOA-0000179 (CFDA 81.049) and is essentially the FY 2010 annual umbrella notice covering a broad set of Office of Science research portfolios. Rather than being a single-topic solicitation, it signals DOE's ongoing interest in receiving applications that extend existing awards (renewals) or request added scope and funding to an existing project (supplements), consistent with Office of Science program priorities and rules.
The scientific and workforce areas included are Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Biological and Environmental Research, Basic Energy Sciences, Fusion Energy Sciences, High Energy Physics, Nuclear Physics, and Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists. In practical terms, this means the notice is meant to support a wide range of science and technology R&D activities aligned with DOE Office of Science missions, from foundational research in physics and chemistry to computational science, environmental and biological systems research, and training or education activities tied to the Office of Science workforce development objectives.
The legal and procedural backbone for the opportunity is DOE's Office of Science Financial Assistance Program regulation at 10 CFR Part 605. The notice points applicants to that regulation for the specifics on who may apply, what limitations may apply, how to submit, and how DOE evaluates and selects applications. It also references the program's origins in a 1992 Federal Register publication (originally issued under the former Office of Energy Research, now the Office of Science), emphasizing that this is a continuation of an established, rule-based assistance program rather than a newly created initiative.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary grant opportunity with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of applicant entity, subject to any clarifications contained in the full announcement or in the 10 CFR Part 605 requirements (for example, standard federal assistance rules, program fit, and compliance conditions). The issuing organization is associated with the DOE Chicago Service Center, which often handles administrative processing for DOE financial assistance awards.
The posting and creation date for the notice is December 4, 2009. The application window for this annual notice remained open through September 30, 2010, with a closing time of 8:00 PM Eastern Time, unless replaced earlier by a subsequent issuance. The notice explicitly states it succeeds the prior annual notice (DE-PS02-09ER09-02, published October 1, 2008), indicating DOE uses these annual issuances to keep a standing pathway open for renewal and supplemental actions across the Office of Science.
For access and support, the notice provides contacts tied to FedConnect for technical issues with obtaining the full announcement, along with an Office of Science point of contact (Kimberlie J. Laing, kim.laing@science.doe.gov). This suggests that, in addition to programmatic compliance with 10 CFR Part 605, applicants were expected to rely on the electronic portal and associated helpdesk for submission and troubleshooting.
