Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office Announces Up to $10. 75 Million to Support University Training and Research for Subsurface Energy Development | Department of Energy Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office Announces Up to $10. 75 Million to Support University Training and Research for Subsurface Energy Development HGEO announced up to $10.
75 million for U.S. colleges and universities, through its University Training and Research Program, to perform early-stage research and develop education and training initiatives to prepare next generation energy professionals Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office WASHINGTON— The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office (HGEO) today announced up to $10.
75 million in federal funding to support novel, early-stage research and development (R&D) projects at eligible U.S. colleges and universities. The funding opportunity is offered through HGEO’s University Training and Research (UTR) Program, which aims to train the next generation of engineers and scientists for careers in energy-related research to help ensure affordable, reliable, and secure energy for all Americans.
“Continuing to increase domestic energy production from our vast coal, oil, gas, and geothermal resources requires a workforce of trained, qualified professionals to advance innovative subsurface energy technologies,” said DOE Acting Assistant Secretary of the Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office Curt Coccodrilli .
“By investing in skills-based training that emphasizes industry-driven strategies, we will help meet the needs of our evolving energy economy while strengthening America’s energy leadership and independence. ” Funding awarded under this notice of funding opportunity (NOFO) is intended to increase R&D opportunities for students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Relevant academic disciplines include, but are not limited to engineering, chemistry, physics, mining, geosciences, computer science and education. Selected projects will support one topic area—Innovative Research and Training for Subsurface Energy Production.
This topic area seeks university-led R&D proposals focused on accelerating innovative energy technologies toward commercial viability while simultaneously developing a skilled workforce for the evolving energy sector.
The topic area is split into three subtopics focused on coal, oil and gas, and geothermal energy, respectively, ensuring that projects awarded through the UTR Program complement the R&D investments from HGEO’s Office of Subsurface Energy.
Projects will address critical workforce skill gaps by integrating student participation directly into the R&D process and developing training modules that will have a lasting impact on student training beyond the awarded project. In addition, projects must include a non-academic partner to ensure research relevance and provide critical workforce experience for students. Learn more about HGEO’s Workforce Programs .

The Hydrocarbons and Geothermal Energy Office's University Training and Research program funds coal, oil and gas, and geothermal R&D at U.S. colleges and universities — but every proposal must include a non-academic partner and must build training modules that outlive the award. The LOI deadline is October 1, 2026, with full applications 15 days later. Here is what that compressed window means and why the workforce framing changes what a competitive proposal looks like.
