Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Genomics - Enabled Understanding and Advancing Knowledge on Plant Gene Function(s) - is cataloged under number DE-FOA-0003452 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 81.049, posted by Office of Science. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on October 15, 2024 and last updated on February 18, 2025. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a other.
Award economics. The award range on file is $750,000 -- $3,000,000. The agency has projected $25.0 million in total estimated funding for this announcement. It expects to issue 10 awards. If the agency funds the expected 10 awards from the $25.0 million estimated pool, the average award works out to roughly $2.5 million. 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 February 19, 2025. 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 DOE SC program in Biological and Environmental Research (BER) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research within the Biological Systems Science Division’s (BSSD) Genomic Science Program (GSP) (http://genomicscience.energy.gov) mission-space. This NOFO solicits applications for “Genomics - Enabled Understanding and Advancing Knowledge on Plant Gene Function(s)” to effectively design bioenergy crops by developing approaches to: a) understand regulatory elements, biological mechanisms and develop predictive models for dissecting multigene traits and their component parts that govern plant growth under different growing conditions, biochemical and signaling pathways; b) understand genetic components and molecular mechanisms underlying plant regeneration/organogenesis in tissue culture to improve heterologous DNA transfer to germlines of bioenergy crops; and c) understand genetic and molecular mechanisms that will reduce the cycle time for out-crossing energy crops (e.g. self-incompatibility) to speed development of new plant feedstocks underpinning a more broader and more competitive U.S. bioeconomy.
