University Training and Research for Fossil Energy Applications
DE-FOA-0002398 titled, University Training and Research for Fossil Energy ApplicationsThis funding opportunity will encompass two separate university programs, each with its own requirements and each with restricted eligibility.
The two programs are the University Coal Research (UCR) Program and
the Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU-OMI) Program.
Each section of this document will be subdivided into a UCR section and an HBCU-OMI section to clearly address the requirements for each program.
University Coal Research (UCR) Through this FOA, the UCR Program supports the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Fossil Energy and the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) mission by supporting long-term, high-risk meritorious fundamental research that advances the science of coal technologies at U. S. colleges and universities.
Since its inception in FY1979, the UCR Program has maintained three objectives, to be achieved simultaneously, which are:
(1) sustain a national university program of research in energy and environmental science and engineering related to coal through innovative and fundamental investigations pertinent to coal conversion and utilization; (2) to maintain and upgrade the coal research capabilities and facilities of U. S. colleges and universities; and (3) to support the education and training of our next generation of scientists and engineers.
The FOA will offer areas of research that address specific problems for overcoming barriers in technology development for Fossil Energy in an environmentally acceptable manner.
Historically, the involvement of professors and students has been an essential element in the success of the UCR Program.
The participation of students is valuable because it serves to promote the influx of fresh ideas, and it ensures continued training of future scientists and engineers.
This emphasis on U. S. college and university professors and students will be continued in FY2021 for all applications.
To develop and sustain a national program of university research that advances the previous stated objectives, the DOE is interested in innovative and fundamental research pertinent to coal conversion and utilization.
Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU-OMI) To sustain a healthy economy and remain competitive internationally, the United States will need a highly-skilled workforce, which includes competent and dedicated scientists, engineers, and managers in technical fields.
It will need not only advanced technology markets, but also knowledge of and sensitivity for culturally diverse customers and business partners.
This theme is consistent with the Department of Energy Science Education Enhancement Act (42 U.S.C.
§ 7381) as amended by Sections 1102 and 1105 of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which provides the statutory authority for U. S. Department of Energy’s (DOEs) HBCU-OMI Research and Development Program (HBCU-OMI Program).
Implementation of the HBCU-OMI Program is also supported by DOE’s Strategic Plan and Strategic Plan for Minority Education Programs, both of which promote the DOE’s collaboration with HBCU-OMI.
The HBCU-OMI Program is, thus, structured to support the mission of DOE.
The process for supporting critical key research areas in fossil energy will be continued through this FOA.
This program also supports the DOE’s mission by supporting long-term, high-risk meritorious fundamental research that advances the science of coal technologies at eligible U. S. colleges and universities.
Work conducted in this program enables segments of the college population, not typically tapped for educational research in these subject areas, to advance technical skills and provide a meaningful contribution to the Fossil Energy Program in Crosscutting Research.
Thus, grants awarded under this program are intended to maintain and upgrade educational, training, and research capabilities of HBCUs-OMIs in the fields of science and technology related to fossil energy resources.
The key purpose of this program is to involve professors and students.
Essential to the success of this program are (1) the collaborative involvement of HBCU-OMI professors and students along with the commercial sector; and (2) the establishment of linkages between the HBCU-OMI and private sector fossil energy community in the development and execution of fresh new research ideas.
