Description

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is for the solicitation of applications from United States Colleges and Universities for Fossil Energy Research. It encompasses two distinct programs with their own dedicated funding, requirements, and restricted eligibility: 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.
