Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001842
The Department of Energy (DOE), through its National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), released Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0001842 titled "Support of Fossil Energy Research at United States Colleges and Universities Including University Coal Research (UCR) and Research by Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU/OMI)." This is a discretionary grant opportunity aimed at supporting fossil energy research carried out at US colleges and universities. The overall purpose is twofold: to push forward scientific and technological advances in fossil energy and to train and educate the next generation of scientists and engineers who will work in energy-related fields.
A key feature of this FOA is that it actually contains two separate, clearly defined programs bundled under one announcement, each with its own dedicated funding, specific requirements, and restricted eligibility rules. The first is the University Coal Research (UCR) Program, which focuses on university-led research connected to coal and fossil energy topics. The second is the HBCU/OMI Program, which supports research conducted by Historically Black Colleges and Universities and other minority-serving institutions. While both programs share the broader mission of developing talent and strengthening fossil energy research capacity in academia, the HBCU/OMI track explicitly adds an equity and workforce-development objective: increasing participation of under-represented student populations in fossil energy research activities.
In terms of who can apply, eligibility is limited to US institutions of higher education, including public or state-controlled universities as well as private universities. The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity areas fall across education, energy, natural resources, science and technology, and broader research and development. The FOA is associated with CFDA number 81.089 (a federal assistance listing related to DOE research and support programs).
For scale and competitiveness, the announcement anticipated making about four awards, with an award ceiling of up to $1,200,000 per award. The FOA was created on January 31, 2018, and the original application closing date was April 9, 2018. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a university-focused R&D funding call that combines technical research goals in fossil energy with a strong workforce pipeline component, and, for the HBCU/OMI program specifically, a deliberate emphasis on broadening participation among students from groups that have historically been under-represented in this research space.Apply for DE FOA 0001842
