About this opportunity

The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) is seeking applications for its FY 2025 Continuation of Solicitation for the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). This Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) supports fundamental scientific research across eight program areas, including Advanced Scientific Computing Research, Basic Energy Sciences, and High Energy Physics. The NOFO is open to all eligible applicant types and will evaluate proposals based on their scientific and technical merit, relevance to DOE's mission, and ability to address the specific research priorities outlined in the NOFO. The solicitation will remain open until September 30, 2025, and an informational webinar will be held on October 1, 2024.

The total available funding is approximately $500 million, with 200-350 new awards expected. Individual award amounts typically range from $5,000 to $5 million, with project periods of 6 months to 5 years. Awards will be distributed to research institutions, including universities and national laboratories, to support fundamental scientific research that can advance DOE's goals in energy, the environment, and national security.

Synopsis

The SC mission is to deliver scientific discoveries and major scientific tools to transform our understanding of nature and advance the energy, economic and national security of the United States. SC is the Nation's largest Federal sponsor of basic research in the physical sciences and the lead Federal agency supporting fundamental scientific research for our Nation's energy future.

SC accomplishes its mission and advances national goals by supporting:

  • The frontiers of science-exploring nature's mysteries from the study of fundamental subatomic particles, atoms, and molecules that are the building blocks of the materials of our universe and everything in it to the DNA, proteins, and cells that are the building blocks of life. Each of the programs in SC supports research probing the most fundamental disciplinary questions.
  • The 21st Century tools of science-providing the Nation's researchers with 28 state-of-the-art national scientific user facilities - the most advanced tools of modern science - propelling the U.S. to the forefront of science, technology development and deployment through innovation.
  • Science for energy and the environment―paving the knowledge foundation to spur discoveries and innovations for advancing the Department's mission in energy and environment. SC supports a wide range of funding modalities from single principal investigators to large team-based activities to engage in fundamental research on energy production, conversion, storage, transmission, and use, and on our understanding of the earth systems.
