Opportunity Summary:
The FY2013 Unconventional Gas and Oil Technologies funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000894) is a discretionary Department of Energy program administered through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under CFDA 81.089, Fossil Energy Research and Development. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means DOE/NETL expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, through technical direction, milestone review, and collaboration), rather than operating as a hands-off grantmaker. The opportunity anticipates making about six awards, with an estimated total federal funding level of $9.5 million, and it explicitly states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed in the summary provided.
This particular notice reflects Amendment 000004, which primarily updates the schedule and application requirements for one part of the solicitation: Topic Area 4. The amendment establishes a due date for receipt of full applications under Topic Area 4 and adds more detailed instructions for those full applications. A key restriction is emphasized: full applications for Topic Area 4 will be accepted only from applicants who previously submitted pre-applications. In other words, Topic Area 4 is not open for entirely new entrants at the full-application stage; it is limited to those who already went through the earlier pre-application screening step.
Timing-wise, the announcement was posted April 17, 2013, with a creation date of July 3, 2013. The original closing date was June 17, 2013, but the current closing date shown is August 28, 2013, reflecting the amended timeline. The archive date is September 17, 2013, which is essentially when the opportunity would be removed from active posting systems after the competition cycle ends.
Eligibility is broadly described as “unrestricted” (open to any type of entity), but the text then provides important exclusions and conditions. Eligible prime recipients and subrecipients generally include domestic for-profit entities, higher education institutions, and nonprofit organizations that are legally formed under U.S. state or territorial law, as well as state, local, and tribal government entities. However, several categories are not eligible in specific roles: other federal agencies cannot participate as prime recipients or subrecipients; DOE and non-DOE Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) may participate only as subrecipients and are not allowed to apply as prime recipients; and nonprofit organizations described under IRS section 501(c)(4) that have engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995 are excluded. The notice also includes a very specific restriction tied to NETL itself: NETL is not eligible to receive an award under the announcement and may not be proposed as a team member on another entity’s application, which prevents applicants from listing NETL as a project partner.
For applicants needing the official full announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically, the opportunity points to FedConnect as the additional information link/source for full materials. The listed point of contact is Carla J. Winaught, Contract Specialist, reachable at 304-285-4530 or carla.winaught@netl.doe.gov, which is the direct administrative contact for access and submission logistics questions related to the solicitation.
Overall, the amendment does not redefine the program’s broader purpose so much as it clarifies procedural requirements and deadlines for Topic Area 4 at the full-application phase, while reaffirming the cooperative agreement structure, expected number of awards, total estimated funding, and the key eligibility boundaries that govern who can apply and in what capacity.
