Grant Description

The U. S. Department of Energy's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (DOE EPSCoR) is a federal-state partnership program designed to help the Department lead the world in meeting today's and tomorrow's energy needs by increasing the geographic diversity of competitive capability to conduct energy-related research and development. Positioned within the Department's Office of Science (SC) in the Office of Basic Energy Sciences, and supporting basic and applied research and development across a wide range of DOE Programs, DOE EPSCoR hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for Implementation Grants from the academic or industrial research community in states and territories (hereafter referred to as jurisdictions) eligible for the program. Specifically, applications are sought for improvement of research competitiveness in key science and technology areas related to DOE Mission(s) identified by the jurisdiction?s EPSCoR governing committee or other appropriate organization on behalf of the jurisdiction. Grants awarded under this program are meant to improve research infrastructure and to support a group of scientists and engineers including graduate students and post doctoral fellows working on a common scientific theme within or across one or more than one EPSCoR jurisdictions. These awards are not appropriate mechanisms to provide support for individual faculty science and technology research projects. Since DOE EPSCoR is currently following NSF EPSCoR eligibility determinations, the following jurisdictions will be eligible for this FOA: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota , Oklahoma, Puerto Rico, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Virgin Islands, West Virginia, and Wyoming.
