Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a Department of Energy (DOE) notice meant to give universities an early heads-up that DOE plans to release a formal Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) focused on fossil energy research at U.S. colleges and universities. The planned FOA is titled "Support of Fossil Energy Research at U.S. Colleges and Universities Including University Coach Research (UCR) and Research by Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) and Other Minority Institutions (OMI)." The notice is essentially a planning signal: it tells prospective applicants to start shaping research ideas, lining up collaborators, and assembling any supporting information they will need once the actual FOA is published.
A key point is that this posting is not the application itself and is not accepting submissions. DOE explicitly states that no applications will be accepted through this notice, and it asks organizations not to submit questions or otherwise respond to the notice of intent. Instead, applicants are expected to watch for the real FOA to appear on Grants.gov and FedConnect, which DOE anticipated would happen in February 2016. In other words, the notice functions as an advance announcement so institutions have time to prepare competitive proposals before the official solicitation opens.
Based on the source details provided, the opportunity is administered by DOE-NETL (the Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory). It is listed as a discretionary grant program within research and development areas tied to energy, environment, natural resources, and science and technology. The assistance listing associated with it is CFDA 81.089 (DOE fossil energy-related assistance). Eligible applicants are limited to institutions of higher education, specifically public and state-controlled universities and private universities, which aligns with the emphasis on university-led research and the inclusion of HBCUs and other minority-serving institutions.
The funding parameters shown in the listing indicate an award ceiling of $400,000, with an expectation of about 8 awards. The posting date and creation date are both January 25, 2016, and the listed closing date is March 18, 2016. Even though the notice itself says applications are not accepted through it, the presence of a closing date in the record reflects the administrative window for the notice entry rather than an instruction to submit an application under this particular notice. The important practical takeaway is that interested universities should treat this as advance notice to prepare for the actual FOA (referenced as DE-FOA-0001488 in the description), monitor Grants.gov and FedConnect for release details, and use the lead time to build partnerships and a well-developed research plan consistent with DOE fossil energy research priorities and the UCR/HBCU/OMI participation focus.
