GRANTS & CONTRACTS<br />

Inventions and Innovation (I&I) – Part of the U.S.<br />

De<strong>pa</strong>rtment of Energy’s Industrial Technologies Program<br />

(ITP), provides <strong>grant</strong>s to independent inventors and small<br />

com<strong>pa</strong>nies with sound ideas for socially beneficial projects<br />

and energy efficiency technologies. This assistance is provided<br />

at two levels: Up to $50,000 for technologies in early-stage<br />

development and up to $250,000 for technologies approaching<br />

the point of prototype.<br />

At present, I&I itself has no funding<br />

for its activities in fiscal year 2008, so<br />

it has announced no upcoming funding<br />

opportunity solicitations. I&I accepts<br />

proposals only during open solicitations.<br />

Please continue to visit the I&I website to<br />

check for information about any upcoming<br />

solicitations from other sources.<br />

FEDERAL PROGRAMS<br />

Much of the work of the De<strong>pa</strong>rtment of Energy’s Office<br />

of Science (SC) (http://www.science.doe.gov/) is supported<br />

through <strong>grant</strong>s and contractual vehicles. This work is<br />

processed through the Office of Science Grants and Contracts<br />

Division (GCD) (http://www.sc.doe.gov/<strong>grant</strong>s/<strong>grant</strong>s.html),<br />

which serves as the princi<strong>pa</strong>l acquisition, financial assistance<br />

management advisor to the Director of Science. The GCD<br />

provides independent analyses, advice and recommendations<br />

on procurement and assistance actions initiated by the SC;<br />

identifies problem areas, opportunities and management<br />

issues and makes recommendations; serves as the SC focal<br />

point in developing positions and responses to proposed<br />

The de<strong>pa</strong>rtment’s Office of Nuclear Energy (http://<br />

www.ne.doe.gov/) is a competitive peer-reviewed program<br />

to provide <strong>grant</strong>s allowing nuclear engineering faculty<br />

and students to conduct innovative research in nuclear<br />

engineering and related areas. The awards run from one<br />

to three years and are <strong>grant</strong>ed in eight se<strong>pa</strong>rate technical<br />

areas related to nuclear engineering: reactor physics, reactor<br />

engineering, reactor materials, radiological engineering,<br />

radioactive waste management, applied radiation science,<br />

nuclear safety and risk analysis, and innovative technologies<br />

for next generation reactors, s<strong>pa</strong>ce power and propulsion, or<br />
