Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Energy, through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), offered a discretionary grant funding opportunity titled "Support of Advanced Fossil Resource Utilization Research by Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU/OMI)" under Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001242. The purpose of the program was to strengthen the competitiveness of HBCUs and other minority-serving institutions in fossil energy research and development by supporting advanced research efforts and expanding participation in fossil energy-related science, engineering, and technical management. A key theme of the opportunity was to better tap an underutilized talent and research base by increasing the number of meaningful R&D opportunities available at these institutions.
The award mechanism was a grant, and the activity category focused on energy, science and technology, and broader research and development aligned with fossil energy research (CFDA 81.089, Fossil Energy Research and Development). The program anticipated making about three awards, with an estimated total funding level of $750,000. Individual awards could be as high as $250,000, and the stated award floor was $0, indicating that the final award sizes could vary based on the merit and scope of selected proposals. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can lower barriers to participation for institutions with limited resources.
Eligible applicants included public and state-controlled institutions of higher education as well as private institutions of higher education, consistent with the program's focus on HBCUs and other minority institutions operating within those categories. The announcement was posted and created on January 22, 2015, and it closed on March 11, 2015, with an archive date of July 1, 2015. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through FedConnect. For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact was Bethan K.
