Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Support of Advanced Coal Research at U.S. Colleges and Universities" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001032) is a discretionary federal funding announcement administered by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under the U.S. Department of Energy. It uses a grant funding instrument and falls within the Energy funding activity category. The program is tied to CFDA number 81.057, listed as "University Coal Research," which signals a focus on university-led research efforts related to coal and coal-related energy technologies.
This particular notice centers on Amendment 000002 to the original funding opportunity announcement. The main purpose of the amendment is purely administrative: it corrects the "Response Due Date" shown in FedConnect. The Response Due Date originally appeared as February 4, 2014, but the amendment changes it to match the actual Application Due Date stated in the announcement, which is February 6, 2014. In other words, the amendment aligns the FedConnect system deadline with the official application deadline in the FOA documents so applicants are not misled by conflicting dates. The posted date for the opportunity is December 17, 2013, with a creation date of January 31, 2014. The original closing date was February 4, 2014, and the corrected current closing date is February 6, 2014. The opportunity was later archived on May 5, 2014.
In terms of funding scale, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $2,400,000 and anticipates making about six awards. The listing shows an award ceiling of $0 and an award floor of $0, which typically reflects that specific per-award ranges were not provided in the summary record (rather than implying awards would be zero). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required by the program to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, although applicants sometimes voluntarily propose leveraged resources depending on program expectations.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. institutions of higher education, specifically both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. This fits the program title and the CFDA reference to university coal research, emphasizing that the intended applicants are colleges and universities conducting advanced research in coal-related areas. While the short summary provided here does not list topic areas or technical priorities, the title strongly suggests support for advanced coal research, which commonly includes areas such as improved coal utilization, emissions reduction, materials and processes relevant to coal energy systems, and related technology development carried out in academic settings.
Applicants are directed to FedConnect for full access to the announcement and related submission details. For technical issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the point of contact provided is Mary Beth J. Pearse at NETL, reachable via pearse@netl.doe.gov.
