About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE) is seeking applications for its Science and Technology Projects Related to Coal Mining and Reclamation program. Through this funding opportunity, the OSMRE aims to develop and demonstrate improved science-based technologies to address environmental issues and restoration topics related to coal mining. Key focus areas include protecting endangered species, improving reforestation and re-vegetation, mitigating acid mine drainage, and enhancing public and environmental protection. Eligible applicants include state/local governments, public and private higher education institutions, federally recognized tribal governments, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and small businesses. The proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit (40 points), value to SMCRA (30 points), and technology transfer potential (30 points). The deadline to submit applications is March 21, 2025.
The OSMRE expects to award approximately $1.6 million in total funding through this opportunity, with individual cooperative agreements ranging from $100,000 to $200,000. Eight awards are anticipated to be made, with a project period of July 21, 2025 to July 21, 2027. No cost sharing is required from the recipients.
Synopsis
The OSMRE Applied Science Program funds the development of new reclamation science and technology to address environmental issues related to the mining of coal and reclamation of the land after mining. The program selects and funds applied science proposals that improve public and environmental health protection. The science and technology advanced by these projects serves the public through activities that:Protect identified endangered speciesImprove reforestation and re-vegetationProtect prime farmlandImprove technologies to mitigate acid mine drainageImprove methods for locating underground minesEnhance the protection of the public and environment associated with surface coal mining
