Opportunity Summary:
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), number DE-FOA-0000431, is a joint grant solicitation from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science, Office of Fusion Energy Sciences (FES), and the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), Defense Programs (DP). It supports research under the SC-NNSA Joint Program in High Energy Density Laboratory Plasmas (HEDLP), a program focused on understanding plasmas at extreme energy densities created in laboratory settings. The solicitation is designed to fund both new research awards and renewal applications, and it specifically notes that any renewals for grants previously funded by FES within HEDLP that expire in fiscal year 2011 should be submitted under this FOA.
The opportunity is primarily aimed at researchers who are not affiliated with DOE national laboratories or other government laboratories, signaling a clear intent to support the broader external research community, such as universities and other eligible organizations. While the eligible applicant category is listed as unrestricted, the DOE eligibility criteria in the announcement excludes other federal agencies, Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC) contractors, and certain nonprofit organizations (specifically 501(c)(4) entities that have engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995). The funding instrument is a discretionary grant, and the activity category is science and technology and other research and development, consistent with the program's mission to advance fundamental and applied knowledge in high energy density plasma science.
In terms of scale, DOE anticipated making about 15 awards under this FOA. The estimated total funding available across all awards is listed as $12,500,000. Individual award sizes were expected to range from a floor of $25,000 up to a ceiling of $300,000, indicating the program could accommodate smaller, focused efforts as well as more substantial research projects. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which generally reduces barriers for applicants and allows proposals to be judged more directly on scientific merit, feasibility, and program relevance rather than on an applicant's ability to provide non-federal funds.
Key dates in the announcement show it was posted and created on December 6, 2010, with an original and current closing date of January 31, 2011, and an archive date of April 30, 2011. The CFDA number is 81.049, associated with the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program. Administrative handling is identified through the Chicago Service Center, which is commonly referenced for DOE financial assistance processing.
The FOA emphasizes that the full solicitation text and the step-by-step instructions for completing the grant application package are hosted on FedConnect, and applicants are expected to rely on that official version for detailed requirements, submission instructions, and any program-specific rules. The FedConnect link provided in the opportunity description directs applicants to the document for DE-FOA-0000431. For access issues or questions, the announcement lists two points of contact: Marilyn M. Oyler (Grants and Contracts Analyst) for administrative and electronic access assistance at 301-903-3604 and marilyn.oyler@science.doe.gov, and Samuel J. Barish as the technical scientific program contact at 301-903-2917 and sam.barish@science.doe.gov.
