About this program
The Department of Energy's Geologic Sequestration Training and Research Grant Program (CFDA 81.133) last awarded funds on December 1, 2009, making this program inactive for grant-seeking purposes. No recent grant opportunities are posted.
The program funded educational and research initiatives to develop a workforce for large-scale geologic carbon dioxide storage projects, with emphasis on broadening participation across minority colleges and universities. Recent awards supported training curricula in carbon sequestration methodology, monitoring and verification technologies for CO2 injection and storage, geochemical and geomechanical modeling of subsurface CO2 behavior, carbon capture sorbent development, and regional sequestration technology education partnerships across multiple U.S. basins including the Permian, Southeast, Midwest, Wyoming, and Northwest regions.
All 49 awards were distributed across a single cohort in 2009, funded entirely by the Department of Energy. The portfolio consisted predominantly of Project Grants (98 percent) with one Cooperative Agreement. Combined federal dollars obligated totaled $20.9 million against a combined total obligated (including non-federal match) of $24.1 million. Award magnitudes ranged from $257 thousand to $2.5 million, with most individual research and training grants in the $280,000 to $600,000 range. Larger regional education and training programs reached $750,000 to $2.5 million; the Petroleum Technology Transfer Council received $2.5 million for carbon capture and storage training in the Permian Basin, and Wyoming's regional institute received $1.8 million.
The program's most recent visible activity was this single wave of Recovery Act funding in November and December 2009. No subsequent rounds of funding, notices of funding opportunity, or program activity appear in the record.
