Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Systems Biology-Enabled Microbiome Research to Facilitate Predictions of Interactions and Behavior in the Environment - is cataloged under number DE-FOA-0002602 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 81.049, posted by Office of Science. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on December 15, 2021 and last updated on March 23, 2022. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a grant.
Award economics. The award range on file is $250,000 -- $1,200,000. The agency has projected $36.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. 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 April 7, 2022. 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
BER supports fundamental, interdisciplinary research to achieve a predictive systems-level understanding of Earth, environmental and biological systems. The overarching goals of the BER Program are to solve critical challenges in energy security and environmental stewardship. As part of its mission, BER invests in crosscutting technologies and programs to enable multi-scale, systems-level research to achieve a predictive understanding of systems biology, biological community function, and environmental behavior. The GSP supports research in genome biology as it relates to Bioenergy, Biosystems Design, and Environmental Microbiome Research. These three program pillars are tightly integrated across a portfolio of research projects on bioenergy, biosystems design, synthetic biology, microbiome science, sustainability, computational biology, and related topics that seeks to catalyze omics-enabled discoveries about the functional characteristics of cells, organisms, and whole biological systems. Supported research aims to enhance the nation’s energy and environmental security, and to promote basic research in the environmental and biological sciences in support of DOE’s mission. This FOA is released as part of BSSD’s Environmental Microbiome Research program element. The GSP seeks to understand microbial interactions in natural environments and how such interactions are shaped by environmental change. Understanding community responses to environmental perturbations and long-term change represents an important frontier for efforts to predict ecosystem behavior at different scales. BSSD aims at enabling such predictions by discovering how organisms and community behavior can be understood by leveraging omic-based information. In addition, many environmental microbes harbor genetic potential with relevance to bioenergy and bio-design, and a fundamental understanding of their environmental genomics is likely to have broader impacts across DOE’s mission space. More specifically, this FOA will support projects that enhance our ability to understand microbial interactions dynamically and predictively. Research should facilitate realistic recapitulations of microbial ecosystems that move beyond the characterization of microbial and genetic diversity. Of particular interest are projects that will provide insights into microbial processes that enhance the long-term storage of carbon in soils, thereby leading to net carbon removal from the atmosphere.
