This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is for the solicitation of applications from U.S. Colleges and Universities for Fossil Energy Research. It encompasses two distinct programs with their own dedicated funding: the University Coal Research (UCR) program; and the Historically Black Colleges & Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU/OMI) program. Both programs seek to educate the next generation of scientists and engineers while advancing the frontiers of fossil energy science and technology. The HBCU/OMI program has the additional goal of increasing the participation of under-represented populations of students in such research.
Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0001488. Assistance Listing: 81.089. Funding Instrument: G. Category: EN,NR,ST. Award Amount: $1 – $2M per award.

The objective of this FOA is to solicit and competitively award applied research projects to develop advanced combustion systems that will make substantial progress toward enabling cost-competitive, coal-based power generation systems to remain in operation and to expand coal use while meeting the goal of achieving near-zero pollutant emissions. Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0001728. Assistance Listing: 81.089. Funding Instrument: CA. Category: EN. Award Amount: $1 – $2M per award.
The purpose of this Request for Information is to seek information from stakeholders about Research and Development activities that could lead to performance improvements in steam based power cycles applicable to coal fueled boilers. Specifically, the Department of Energy Fossil Energy program is interested in gathering information relevant to three (3) technical areas. These areas include: (1) - Advanced Manufacturing for Improved Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul of Steam Turbines; (2) - Steam Turbine Development for Advanced Ultra Supercritical Conditions; and (3) - Steam Cycle Augmentation in Coal Fueled Boilers for Load Following and Energy Storage. The intent of gathering information in these three (3) technical areas would be to identify Research and Development that would lead to more efficient steam turbines, resulting in a lower cost-of-electricity with reduced emissions per megawatt-hour in coal fueled boilers and provide options for existing or future coal boilers that can better follow load and provide options to store energy. The purpose of Amendment 000002 to this Request for Information is to extend the closing date until July 15, 2018. Funding Opportunity Number: DE-FOA-0001921. Assistance Listing: 81.089. Funding Instrument: O. Category: EN. Award Amount: $1 – $2 per award.
