About this opportunity
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) Biological and Environmental Research (BER) Genomic Science Program (GSP) is seeking applications for the "Genomics - Enabled Understanding and Advancing Knowledge on Plant Gene Function(s)" funding opportunity (DE-FOA-0003452). This NOFO solicits research to effectively design bioenergy crops by developing approaches to: a) understand regulatory elements and biological mechanisms governing plant growth, biochemical and signaling pathways; b) understand genetic components and mechanisms underlying plant regeneration/organogenesis to improve DNA transfer to bioenergy crop germlines; and c) understand genetic mechanisms to reduce breeding cycle times for out-crossing energy crops. Applications will be evaluated based on scientific and/or technical merit, appropriateness of the proposed method or approach, and qualifications of the research team. The pre-application deadline is December 2, 2024, with full applications due by February 10, 2025.
The DOE anticipates awarding a total of $25 million through 8-12 grants ranging from $750,000 to $3,000,000 each over 3-year project periods. Eligible applicants include domestic organizations, excluding DOE/NNSA National Laboratories, which may participate as subrecipients. The funding opportunity operates under the DOE SC Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049) and requires no cost sharing for basic research.
Synopsis
The DOE SC program in Biological and Environmental Research (BER) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research within the Biological Systems Science Division's (BSSD) Genomic Science Program (GSP) (http://genomicscience.energy.gov) mission-space. This NOFO solicits applications for "Genomics - Enabled Understanding and Advancing Knowledge on Plant Gene Function(s)" to effectively design bioenergy crops by developing approaches to: a) understand regulatory elements, biological mechanisms and develop predictive models for dissecting multigene traits and their component parts that govern plant growth under different growing conditions, biochemical and signaling pathways; b) understand genetic components and molecular mechanisms underlying plant regeneration/organogenesis in tissue culture to improve heterologous DNA transfer to germlines of bioenergy crops; and c) understand genetic and molecular mechanisms that will reduce the cycle time for out-crossing energy crops (e.g. self-incompatibility) to speed development of new plant feedstocks underpinning a more broader and more competitive U.S. bioeconomy.
