Eligible Applicants
Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled "Additional Information on Eligibility"
Additional Information on Eligibility:
DOE EPSCoR currently follows National Science
Foundation (NSF) EPSCoR
eligibility criteria (refer to:
http://www.nsf.gov/od/oia/programs/epscor/eligible.jsp ) but further
restricts
eligibility to submit Implementation Award applications such that:
There is only one active Implementation Award that is receiving funding per
EPSCoR jurisdiction at a time. Thus if an EPSCoR Implementation Award
receives
its last funding from DOE EPSCoR in fiscal year 2009, that jurisdiction is
eligible to submit an Implementation Award application in fiscal year 2010.
Current expectations are that the following jurisdictions will be eligible
for
this FOA: Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi,
Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Vermont, Wyoming, and U.S. Virgin Islands. Since DOE is currently
following
NSF eligibility practice, Iowa and Utah will be eligible to apply to this
notice if their respective EPSCoR committees have submitted to NSF an
EPSCoR
Planning Grant application prior to the closing date of this FOA.
EPSCoR jurisdictions meeting the eligibility criteria above may submit one
application. The jurisdiction¿s EPSCoR Committee or their designee will
have
authority and responsibility to select the applicant on behalf of their
jurisdiction.

The Office of Basic Energy Sciences (BES) in the Office of Science (SC),
U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE), hereby announces its interest in receiving
grant
applications for Implementation Awards under its Experimental Program to
Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR). Specifically, applications are
sought
for improvement of the academic research infrastructure in key science and
technology energy-related areas identified by the EPSCoR jurisdiction¿s
governing committee. Awards under this program are meant to support a
group of
scientists and researchers working on a common scientific theme across an
EPSCoR jurisdiction or jurisdictions, and are not appropriate mechanisms to
provide support for individual faculty science and technology research
projects. Implementation Award applications will be accepted from EPSCoR
jurisdictions that will not have an active Implementation Award which
receives
DOE funding in fiscal year 2010. Current expectations are that the
following
jurisdictions will be eligible for this Funding Opportunity Announcement
(FOA): Alabama, Alaska, Arkansas, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi,
Nebraska, Nevada, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota,
Vermont, Wyoming, and U.S. Virgin Islands. Since DOE is currently
following
NSF eligibility practice, Iowa and Utah will be eligible to apply to this
notice if their respective EPSCoR Committees have submitted to NSF an
EPSCoR
Planning Grant application prior to the closing date of this
FOA.
