About this file
This is a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announcement for the Department of Energy's National Energy Technology Laboratory Fossil Energy Research and Development program. The program, titled "Annual Recurring University Training and Research" (NOFO Number: DE-FOA-0003215), seeks to solicit research and development grants totaling up to $10,750,000 to educate and train the next generation of engineers and scientists, support early-stage research at U.S. colleges and universities, and increase research opportunities for underrepresented and structurally marginalized communities. Individual awards are available up to $750,000 with no required cost sharing. The program period is 36 months, with a letter of intent due October 1, 2026, and applications due October 16, 2026. Selections are anticipated in January 2027, with awards in April 2027.
Eligible applicants are U.S. institutions of higher education where the principal investigator must be a professor, and at least one student must receive compensation for the work. All applications require a mandatory letter of commitment from a non-academic partnering organization (for-profit, nonprofit, or government entity) that actively contributes to research direction, provides student mentorship, and supports technology commercialization. The program focuses on innovative research and training across three priority areas: Coal, Oil & Gas, and Geothermal, with projects demonstrating technology readiness level progression from 2-4 at project start to 3-5 at completion and anticipated commercialization potential within 5-10 years. Participation of NETL and FFRDCs is restricted to no more than 25% of total project costs. Applications are evaluated on Scientific and Technological Merit (25%), Technical Approach and Understanding (25%), Strengthening the Energy Workforce (30%), and Technical and Management Capabilities (20%). Required deliverables include a Technology Maturation and Transition Plan and a Workforce Development Summary Report. The program operates under CFDA 81.089, Fossil Energy Research and Development, and is administered through the NETL Exchange portal at https://netl-exchange.energy.gov.
