About this opportunity

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) is seeking applications for the FY 2024 Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) program. This funding opportunity aims to build research capacity, including infrastructure and expertise, at non-R1 minority serving institutions (MSIs) and non-R1 emerging research institutions (ERIs) through partnerships with DOE national laboratories, SC scientific user facilities, or R1 MSIs/ERIs. The research should focus on fundamental fields supported by SC, such as applied mathematics, biology, chemistry, computer science, engineering, geoscience, isotope research, materials science, fusion energy science, and physics. Applications must be submitted by an authorized institutional representative and include a single partnering team member. The evaluation criteria will prioritize the ability to build research capacity and promote inclusive and equitable research. The application deadline is July 23, 2024.

Individual awards are expected to range from $500,000 to $2,000,000 over three years, depending on project scope. Funding will be provided through the DOE Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). The place of performance is at the applicant institutions, which must be non-R1 MSIs or non-R1 ERIs, along with their partnering DOE national laboratories, SC scientific user facilities, or R1 MSIs/ERIs.

Update #2 · Latest ·

amended because of Hurricane Beryl disruptions -

The Office of Science (SC) seeks applications for fundamental research in fields supported by SC to build research capacity at institutions historically underrepresented in the SC portfolio, i.e. non-R1 minority serving institutions (MSIs)[1],[2] and non-R1 emerging research institutions (ERIs).[3] This FOA aims to build research capacity, including infrastructure and expertise at these institutions, through mutually beneficial relationships between applicants and DOE national laboratories, SC scientific user facilities, or R1 MSI/ERIs. A list of institutions and their designations is provided at https://science.osti.gov/grants/Applicant-and-Awardee-Resources/Institution-Designations.


[1] The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education can be found at https://carnegieclassifications.acenet.edu. A list of institutions with very high research activity (R1 institutions) is available at https://carnegieclassifications.acenet.edu/institutions/?basic2021__du%5B%5D=15.

[2] MSI designations are based on the Department of Education eligibility matrix (https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ope/idues/eligibility.html). Eligible MSIs are listed as Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander Serving Institutions (AANAPISIs), Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Serving Institutions (AANHs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), Native American Serving Non-Tribal Institutions (NASNTI), Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs), Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). For the purposes of this FOA, institutions marked in the eligibility matrix as either being eligible to receive funding or as receiving funding will be considered an MSI.

[3] Emerging research institution was defined in the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022. Federal research expenditures are based on the National Science Foundation's Higher Education Research and Development Survey: Fiscal Year 2021 (https://ncses.nsf.gov/surveys/higher-education-research-development/2021).
