About this file
This is an Excel budget template for the Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRC) full application. The template requires applicants to submit a summary budget table in whole dollars for all partner institutions, including the lead institution, regardless of whether they receive DOE funds. The budget must be organized by institution name with annual budget columns for Years 1 through 4, a total budget column, and row totals. Applicants must not change column order, merge or split cells, or alter the number of rows beyond adding or removing institution rows as needed. The template includes fields for the lead organization name and EFRC Director/Lead PI name. The completed Excel file must be attached to field 12 of the SF-424 Research and Related Other Project Information form in the Grants.gov submission, and a PDF version must be included in the full application narrative.
The EFRC program is administered by the Department of Energy's Office of Science under the Basic Energy Sciences (BES) program (CFDA 81.049) and funds multi-investigator, multi-disciplinary research centers bringing together teams from universities, national laboratories, and other institutions. These centers perform energy-relevant basic research beyond the scope of single-investigator awards, integrating experiments, theory, computation, and AI/ML across materials sciences, chemical sciences, geosciences, and biosciences. Applications undergo scientific merit review evaluated on scientific and technical merit, appropriateness of method, competency of personnel and resources, and reasonableness of the proposed budget. The application process is managed through Grants.gov and the Portfolio Analysis and Management System (PAMS), with applicants required to register at PAMSpublic.science.energy.gov.
