Deadlines and process...
Deadlines
Whatever is stated in the program announcements; unsolicited proposals may be submitted at any time. Proposals received after April 1, of any year, may be held up to 1 year and may be supported from the next fiscal year funding, if available.
Note:
When available, this section indicates the deadlines for applications to the funding agency which will
be stated in terms of the date(s) or between what dates the application should be received.
When not available, applicants should contact the funding agency for deadline information.
Range of Approval/Disapproval Time
The approximate approval/disapproval time is from 2 months to 1 year.
Preapplication Coordination
These determinations will be made by DOE Headquarters, or assisted by the field as appropriate. This program is excluded from coverage under E.O. 12372.
Note:
This section indicates whether any prior coordination or approval is required with governmental or nongovernmental units
prior to the submission of a formal application to the federal funding agency.
Appeals
Not applicable.
Note:
In some cases, there are no provisions for appeal. Where applicable, this section discusses appeal procedures or allowable rework time for resubmission
of applications to be processed by the funding agency. Appeal procedures vary with individual programs and are either listed in this section or
applicants are referred to appeal procedures documented in the relevant Code of Federal Regulations (CFR).
Renewals
Proposals for renewal are subject to review and acceptance by DOE Headquarters, the field, or both.
Note:
In some instances, renewal procedures may be the same as for the application procedure, e.g., for projects of a non-continuing nature renewals will be treated as new, competing applications; for projects of an ongoing nature, renewals may be given annually.
