Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER) invited grant applications under the opportunity titled "Terrestrial Carbon Cycle Research" (Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0000287). The main purpose of this call was to support research that strengthens scientific understanding of how terrestrial biomes (such as forests, grasslands, wetlands, tundra, and other land ecosystems) influence the global carbon cycle, and to improve the ability to predict carbon-cycle behavior as climate change progresses. In practical terms, the DOE was looking for projects that can reduce uncertainty in how carbon is taken up, stored, and released by land ecosystems, and that can translate those advances into better carbon-cycle and climate-related predictions.
This was a discretionary research and development grant opportunity in the Science and Technology / R and D funding activity category, administered through the DOE Chicago Service Center under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). The opportunity anticipated making about 15 awards with an estimated total program funding level of $4,000,000. Individual awards were expected to fall between $150,000 (award floor) and $1,050,000 (award ceiling). No cost sharing or matching was required, which meant applicants were not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award.
Eligibility was broadly open to domestic applicant types (listed as "unrestricted"), with specific exclusions. Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors were not eligible to apply as the lead institution, and neither were certain nonprofit organizations described under IRS section 501(c)(4) that had engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995. Aside from those restrictions, the solicitation was designed to be accessible to a wide range of U.S.-based organizations capable of performing the proposed research.
Key dates for the opportunity were posted on February 26, 2010, with the creation date listed as March 1, 2010. Applications were due by May 3, 2010 (original and current closing date both May 3, 2010). The funding opportunity was later archived on August 3, 2010. Additional details and the full announcement were made available through FedConnect, which is referenced as the primary additional information link.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement or seeking program or grants-management clarification, DOE listed two points of contact: Kimberlie J. Laing (Grants Analyst, 301-903-3026, kim.laing@science.doe.gov) and James M. Kuperberg (Program Manager, 301-903-3511, michael.kuperberg@science.doe.gov).
