Opportunity Summary:

The FY 2013 Research Opportunities in High Energy Physics funding opportunity (DE-FOA-0000733) is a discretionary grant program offered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, specifically through the Office of High Energy Physics (HEP). The purpose of the announcement is to solicit new grant applications to support research programs in high energy physics, aligning with DOE Office of Science priorities in fundamental research and advanced scientific understanding of particles, forces, and the underlying structure of matter and energy. The program sits in the broader federal research and development category (Science and Technology and other R&D) and is administered under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049).

In terms of funding scale and expected activity, DOE projected a substantial overall funding level for this call, with an estimated total of $60,000,000 and an expectation of about 100 awards. The notice does not specify an award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically signals that award sizes can vary widely depending on the scope of the proposed work, programmatic priorities, and available appropriations. The solicitation explicitly indicates that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, which can lower barriers for universities and other research organizations seeking support.

Eligibility is broadly open and described as “unrestricted,” meaning most entity types may apply, subject to the solicitation’s specific exclusions and any clarifications contained in the full announcement text. The key exclusions listed are other federal agencies, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors, and certain nonprofit organizations: specifically, 501(c)(4) organizations that have engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995. Outside of those exclusions, the opportunity is generally accessible to typical research performers such as universities, nonprofit research institutions, and private sector organizations, assuming they meet the standard federal financial assistance requirements and any technical or programmatic requirements described in the full FOA.

The application timeline reflects a typical competitive funding cycle. The opportunity was posted on June 8, 2012, with an indicated creation date of June 21, 2012. The original and current closing date is September 10, 2012, and the opportunity was archived on December 10, 2012. In practice, this means proposals needed to be submitted by early September 2012 for consideration under the FY 2013 cycle, with administrative processing and award decisions occurring later in the year as the program moved toward archiving.

For applicants needing the official details, amendments, and full requirements, the announcement points to FedConnect as the additional information source. For help accessing the announcement or for grants management questions, the listed grants management specialist contact is Kerwin A. Lawrence (301-903-9842, kerwin.lawrence@science.doe.gov). An administrative contact email is also provided as SC.HEPFOA@science.doe.gov, which would typically be used for submission or process-related inquiries tied to the specific FOA.
