About this program

The program is not actively funding new awards. All 26 recorded grants were awarded between 2009 and 2011, with no subsequent activity over the past 15 years. Award cadence ran at 11 grants in 2009, 6 in 2010, and 9 in 2011. The program distributed $2.1 million in total federal obligations across these 26 Project Grants, the sole assistance type used.
Funded activities centered on workforce development and curricula creation in renewable energy and related technical fields.
