The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science (SC) is announcing that $35 million is available to support fundamental research in all fields supported by SC to build research capacity at institutions historically underrepresented in the SC portfolio, specifically non-R1 emerging research institutions (ERIs) and non-R1 minority serving institutions (MSIs).
This funding opportunity announcement aims to build research capacity through mutually beneficial relationships between applicants and DOE national laboratories, SC scientific user facilities, or R1 MSI/ERIs. Capacity building is interpreted broadly to include both personnel expertise and infrastructure and is expected to be durable, contributing over time toward sustained research strength at the lead institution. This funding will expand the talent pool to further the Department’s missions, transform our understanding of nature, and catalyze scientific discoveries that can lead to technical breakthroughs.
In addition to a webinar describing the FOA, SC will host office hours on April 9, April 17, July 2, and July 10 at 2:00 pm ET for administrative questions related to the FOA. More information on the Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) initiative, including frequently asked questions and office hour registration, is available on the FAIR website.
