Renewal Supplemental Applications for the Office of Science Grants and Cooperative Agreements | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Renewal Supplemental Applications for the Office of Science Grants and Cooperative Agreements" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000412) is the Department of Energy Office of Science's FY 2011 annual notice for submitting renewal and supplemental requests under its existing financial assistance awards. It sits within the DOE Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) and supports science and technology and other research and development activities. In practical terms, this announcement is not framed like a single-topic research competition with a narrow scientific theme. Instead, it functions as an umbrella administrative vehicle that allows current or prospective awardees, depending on the specific instructions in the full FOA text, to submit applications that either extend ongoing Office of Science work (renewals) or request added support to expand, continue, or adjust the scope of an already funded project (supplements), consistent with DOE Office of Science priorities and the terms of the underlying award.

This FOA was posted on September 30, 2010, with an open submission window through September 30, 2011, and it was designed to remain available until that date or until DOE replaced it with a successor announcement. The structure is essentially "open until closed," meaning applications could be submitted at any point during the open period rather than by a single one-time deadline. The archive date listed is December 31, 2011, which is an administrative endpoint after the close of the active period. The estimated total funding associated with the notice is large (approximately $800,000,000), reflecting the broad scale of the Office of Science portfolio and the fact that many different awards and program areas can route renewal and supplemental actions through this mechanism, rather than implying that a single applicant could access anything close to that entire amount.

The award type is listed as a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary. The FOA explicitly indicates that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants generally should not be expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving an award under this notice (though specific program or award circumstances described in the full FOA could still impose particular budgeting or allowability rules). Eligibility is described as "unrestricted (open to any type of entity)," with the caveat that any additional limitations or clarifications would be contained in the FOA text under the section typically labeled "Additional Information on Eligibility." That wording signals broad eligibility on the surface (for example, universities, national laboratories, nonprofits, for-profits, and other organizations), but also signals that the controlling eligibility details are in the full announcement and may depend on whether the request is a renewal of an existing award, a supplement to an active project, or another Office of Science-administered assistance action.

The full instructions and application requirements are not reproduced in the summary record and are instead hosted on FedConnect, which is the authoritative source for the complete Funding Opportunity Announcement text and the step-by-step instructions for completing the Grant Application Package. For applicants, the most important implication is that compliance details (required forms, narrative content, page limits, submission routing, renewal versus supplement definitions, and any required prior approvals) are governed by the FedConnect FOA document itself. The listing points directly to where that document can be obtained, emphasizing that applicants should rely on the full FOA for how to prepare and submit a compliant application.

The administering office shown is the DOE Chicago Service Center, which commonly supports Office of Science financial assistance administration. For technical difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides direct points of contact within the Office of Science grants staff: Kimberlie J. Laing (Grants Analyst) at 301-903-3026 and kim.laing@science.doe.gov, Linda G. Blevins at 301-903-1293 and linda.blevins@science.doe.gov, and Deborah A. Greenawalt at 301-903-4074 and deb.greenawalt@science.doe.gov. These contacts are specifically positioned as help for access issues with the electronic announcement, which matters because the controlling details for renewals and supplements, including what is allowable and how to submit, reside in the FedConnect-hosted FOA.
