DOE Research Funding Opportunities

There are several Program Offices within DOE that manage a combination of basic and applied scientific research as well as large User Facilities at the DOE National Labs. DOE programs use a combination of funding mechanisms to reach a broad range of potential researchers both within and outside the DOE National Lab community. 

• • Office of Science

There are many announcements each year to solicit research proposals from colleges and universities, non-profit and for-profit research organizations, DOE’s national laboratories, small businesses, and other federal research organizations.

• • Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs)
    • https://science.osti.gov/grants/FOAs 
    • May be open to one or more institution types, including international 
    • Unsolicited applications not accepted 
    • At least one continuously open FOA inviting applications for new, renewal, or supplemental support of research in areas of interest to the Office of Science. That is why unsolicited applications are not accepted. 
  • DOE National Laboratory Announcements
    • https://science.osti.gov/grants/Lab-Announcements

    • DOE Labs may include outside and international partners as sub-awardees
