Assistance Listing 81.082

The Department of Energy, under CFDA 81.082, funded educational partnerships and workforce development initiatives at underrepresented institutions, with the most recent grant award issued on September 4, 2003 — over twenty years ago.

The program's grant portfolio spans four awards dispersed across 1999, 2000, and 2003, with no documented grant activity since. The Department of Energy administered all awards. The assistance-type mix was predominantly Project Grants (three awards, 75 percent) with one Cooperative Agreement (25 percent). Combined federal dollars obligated total $431 thousand across the four awards.

Recent grant awards illustrate the program's scope. A Cooperative Agreement to the New Mexico Mathematics, Engineering, Science Achievement initiative in 2003 obligated $175 thousand and ran through September 2009. A Project Grant supporting a Tribal College Initiative continuation in 1999 obligated $200 thousand through September 2004. A Project Grant in 1999 supporting increased participation of HBCUs in the federal government and a summer intern program obligated $56,303 through March 2004.

No recent grant opportunities are present in the source, and no open solicitation can be confirmed. The source contains no program description beyond the award titles, which reference educational initiatives at tribal colleges, HBCUs, and science achievement programs. The last obligated award completion date of record is September 2009.

This program shows no active funding cycle in the past two decades and should be considered inactive pending confirmation of current solicitation status through the Department of Energy's Office of Science or relevant sub-agency. BD professionals should verify current funding intent directly with the funding agency before resource allocation.
