How to apply...
Application Procedure:
After informal communication with DOE Headquarters Office, a formal proposal by the organization interested in doing the work must be submitted through an appropriate official of the corporate entity, organization, or institution. This program is subject to the provisions of OMB Circular No. A-110. Financial assistance requests will be reviewed pursuant to the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management Merit Review System (May 5, 1991) and the DOE Financial Assistance Manual, as amended. Note that in fiscal years 2003 and beyond the vast majority of awards will be made in response to competitive procurement and financial assistance solicitations. There will be little to no funding available for unsolicited proposals.
Note: Each program will indicate whether applications are to be submitted to the Federal headquarters, regional or local office, or to a State or local government office.
Award Procedure:
Award decisions are made by DOE Headquarters throughout the fiscal year.
Note: Grant payments may be made by a letter of credit, advance by Treasury check, or reimbursement by Treasury check.
Awards may be made by the headquarters office directly to the applicant, an agency field office, a regional office,
or by an authorized county office. The assistance may pass through the initial applicant for further distribution by
intermediate level applicants to groups or individuals in the private sector.
