Description
A link to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA) is found by scrolling
to the bottom of this page. Initial estimated total funding for this award
is
listed at $10,000,000 in FY 2009; with additional anticipated funds of
$25,000,000 in FY 2010 and FY 2011, subject to change and Congressional
appropriations. Domestic applicants are eligible to apply including
institutions of higher education, non-profit entities (as described in
section
501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), for-profit private
entities,
State/Local Governments, and Indian tribes. DOE and non-DOE Federally
Funded
Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), National Laboratories, and
federal
agencies will be allowed only as subrecipients to any of the previously
mentioned entities. Foreign participants will be allowed as subrecipients
only to a domestic applicant.
DOE is seeking advanced technology to address key aspects of engineered
reservoir creation, management, and utilization identified in the GTP
Multi-Year Research, Development, and Demonstration (MYRDD) plan. Projects
are
sought to develop innovative technology for cost-effective creation,
management, and utilization of Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) in
reservoir
environments. Projects will be evaluated based on their ability to advance
technology toward ultimate, specific target specifications to drive market
development of EGS. Teaming between academia, industry, and National
Laboratories/Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) is
encouraged.
Supporting technological improvements and overall geothermal systems
analysis
to establish critical energy, environmental and economic baseline
information
are needed in the following topic areas: air cooling; drilling systems;
high
temperature downhole tools; high-volume lifting and pumping; zonal
isolation;
integrated chemical, thermal and hydrological modeling; image fluid flow;
induced seismicity; geophysical exploration technologies; stimulation
Prediction Models; geothermal analysis; smart tracers; supercritical carbon
dioxide/reservoir rock chemical interactions; tracers and tracer
interpretation; and working fluids for binary power plants.
A single Principal Investigator or organization may submit separate
applications to multiple topic areas. However, a single Principal
Investigator
or organization may not submit a single application that addresses multiple
topic areas ¿ i.e., address only one topic area per application.
Applicants
will be required to declare which topic area they are applying for within
each
application. Also, DOE reserves the right to make one award, multiple
awards,
or no awards in any given topic area. Applications with cost share above
the
minimum level required may be given greater consideration.
VERY IMPORTANT:
Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov to be considered for
award.
You cannot submit an application through Grants.gov unless you are
registered.
Please read the registration requirements carefully and start the process
immediately. Remember you have to update your CCR registration annually.
If
you have any questions about your registration, you should contact the
Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726 to verify that you are still
registered
in Grants.gov.
Registration Requirements
There are several one-time actions you must complete in order to submit an
application through Grants.gov (e.g., obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data
Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, register with the Central
Contract
Registry (CCR), register with the credential provider, and register with
Grants.gov). See http://www.grants.gov/GetStarted. Use the Grants.gov
Organization Registration Checklist at
http://www.grants.gov/assets/OrganizationRegCheck.pdf to guide you through
the
process. Designating an E-Business Point of Contact (EBiz POC) and
obtaining a
special password called an MPIN are important steps in the CCR registration
process. Applicants, who are not registered with CCR and Grants.gov,
should
allow at least 21 days to complete these requirements. It is suggested
that
the process be started as soon as possible.
When you have completed the process, you should call the Grants.gov
Helpdesk at
1-800-518-4726 to verify that you have completed the final step (i.e.
Grants.gov registration).
Questions
Questions relating to the registration process, system requirements, how an
application form works, or the submittal process must be directed to
Grants.gov
at 1-800-518-4726 or support@grants.gov. Part VII of this announcement
explains how to submit other questions to the U.S. Department of Energy
(DOE).
