Opportunity Summary:
The Nuclear Energy University Programs Fellowship and Scholarship opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0000807) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy program designed to strengthen the pipeline of future nuclear professionals. Its purpose is to support education and training for students who intend to become nuclear scientists, engineers, and policy makers by encouraging participation in nuclear-related academic programs at U.S. colleges and universities. The scope is broad in terms of student level and program type, covering graduate and undergraduate study as well as two-year programs, as long as the course of study is nuclear-related. In practical terms, the program is meant to reinforce the workforce needed for nuclear energy research, development, demonstration, and related policy and technical fields.
The opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant under the education funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 81.121 (Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration). Eligible applicants are institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled and private colleges and universities. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, so institutions do not need to provide a required financial match as a condition of participation.
One notable feature of this posting is that the total estimated funding amount is shown as $0 and it is described as a "zero dollar" award. This reflects an administrative structure where the funding is ultimately driven by student applications processed through the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy, rather than a typical model where an institution receives a set award amount up front. In other words, the listing functions more like a vehicle for enabling fellowships and scholarships to be awarded as students apply and are selected, rather than a single pot of money being competed for and obligated immediately through the announcement itself. Even though the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $155,000 and an award floor of $0, the central point is that funds are tied to student-driven selections and the DOE fellowship/scholarship process, not a conventional institution-proposed project budget.
The opportunity was posted December 3, 2012 (created December 4, 2012) and accepted applications on a continuous basis until late 2015. The original closing date is listed as November 27, 2015, with a current closing date of November 30, 2015, and an archive date of January 31, 2016. Administration is associated with the DOE Idaho Field Office. For more details and official materials, the notice points applicants to FedConnect, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Mark B. Payne, Contract Specialist, at 208-526-3127 or paynemb@id.doe.gov.
