Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - U.S. Industry Opportunities for Uranium Production Technology Development - is cataloged under number DE-FOA-0002491 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 81.121, posted by Idaho Field Office. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on April 23, 2021 and last updated on June 22, 2021. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Up to $1,400,000. The agency has projected $1.4 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 2 awards. If the agency funds the expected 2 awards from the $1.4 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $700,000. Cost sharing or matching funds are required, meaning applicants must contribute a portion of the project budget from non-federal sources, factor this into your financial plan before drafting the proposal. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on June 25, 2021. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities. Before acting on the deadline or award figures above, verify them directly on the official Grants.gov listing, amendments can change dates and amounts after this page was last refreshed.

Description
The Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Nuclear Energy (NE), Office of Nuclear Fuel Cycle and Supply Chain (NE-4), conducts Research and Development (R&D) focused on technological advances for the front and back end of the nuclear fuel cycle. One area of research includes Uranium Mining, Conversion, and Transportation (UMCAT) R&D activities. The goal of this program is to fund R&D for technological advances that benefit the front end of the nuclear fuel cycle and enable competitive domestic uranium production and supply chain stability.The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to fund projects that enable cost competitive domestic uranium production and conserve water. Specifically, this FOA seeks proposals for R&D projects focused on uranium mining water treatment technologies that reduce the volume of water usage associated with and/or improve extraction efficiency and resource utilization for uranium production. This may include subsurface in situ treatment as well as surface treatment processes for in situ recovery (ISR) and processing facilities, as well as conventional mines and mills.Applicants are invited to provide a proposed project with a project period of up to two years that supports the objective of achieving cost-reducing water treatment technologies, which could be employed rapidly following the successful completion of the FOA. The proposed project should show how the proposed work addresses current gaps in technology. Proposals should demonstrate reduction in water use, reduced costs, and/or improvements to resource utilization and efficiencies in uranium production. Proposals should demonstrate the ability of proposed technologies and improvements to be adopted quickly by United States uranium producers following the completion of the project. The ability for rapid adoption includes the ability of new technologies to meet or exceed all pertinent federal, state, and local environmental regulations governing water treatment and use.The following changes were incorporated with Amendment 000001 (06/10/2021):• Make administrative changes, such as spelling, format, clarifications etc. • Section III.A. "Eligible Applicants" was updated to clarify eligibility.• Section V.A.2. "Merit Review Criteria" was updated to include the relative weight for each criterion.
