Opportunity Summary:
The Office of Science Early Career Research Program (Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0000572) is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science intended to help launch and strengthen the independent research programs of exceptional early-career scientists. Its core goal is to provide meaningful support at a pivotal career stage so that promising researchers can establish themselves as leaders and build sustained research trajectories in scientific and technical areas that align with the DOE Office of Science mission. In practical terms, the program is designed to both accelerate the transition to research independence and encourage long-term engagement in DOE-supported fields across science and technology and broader research and development.
This particular opportunity was posted on July 19, 2011, with an application deadline of November 29, 2011, and an archive date of February 28, 2012. DOE anticipated making around 50 awards under this solicitation, with an estimated total funding level of $6,000,000. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which typically indicates that specific funding limits were not expressed in the summarized fields and applicants needed to refer to the full announcement for details on project budgets, performance periods, and any program-specific constraints. The funding instrument is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to commit institutional or third-party funds as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility is narrow and is focused on U.S. academia and early-career faculty. Only U.S. academic institutions are eligible to submit applications, meaning the institution applies on behalf of the Principal Investigator (PI). The PI must hold a tenure-track appointment and be either an untenured Assistant Professor or an untenured Associate Professor at the deadline. In addition, the program enforces a time-since-PhD requirement: no more than ten years may have passed between the year the PI received the PhD and the year of the application deadline. For this competition, that translates to doctorates awarded no earlier than 2001. The solicitation also explicitly excludes certain organizations and entities from applying, including other federal agencies and Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors. It also states that nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995 are not eligible, reinforcing that this call is not intended for those entity types and is centered on faculty at U.S. academic institutions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity falls under the DOE Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) and is associated with the Chicago Service Center as the agency name in the listing. Applicants were directed to the announcement via FedConnect for full details and submission instructions. For technical issues accessing the complete announcement, the listed point of contact was Kimberlie J. Laing (301-903-3026, kim.laing@science.doe.gov).
