GRANT/PROGRAM
Much of the work of the Department of Energy’s Office
of Science (SC) (http://science.energy.gov/) is supported
through grants and contractual vehicles. This work is
processed through the Office of Science Grants and Contracts
Division (GCD) (http://www.sc.doe.gov/grants/grants.html),
which serves as the principal acquisition, financial assistance
(grants and cooperative agreements) and contract/grant
management advisor to the Director of Science. The GCD
provides independent analyses, advice and recommendations
on procurement and assistance actions initiated by the SC;
identifies problem areas, opportunities and management issues
and makes recommendations; serves as the SC focal point in
developing positions and responses to proposed Federal and
DOE procurement and assistance regulations and business
management policies and procedures; provides advice and
guidance and serves as the SC contact point with DOE field
offices, laboratories, universities, contractors, grantees and
other Government agencies on SC policies and strategies with
respect to acquisition, financial assistance and contract/grant
management issues.
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
(EERE) works with business, industry, universities, and others
to increase the use of renewable energy and energy efficiency
technologies. One way EERE encourages the growth of these
technologies is by offering financial assistance opportunities
for their development and demonstration.
The Wind and Water Power Program focuses on
technological development to improve the reliability and
affordability of wind energy, as well as addressing barriers to
wind energy deployment; the program also focuses on research,
development, and deployment of innovative technologies
capable of generating electricity from water. The program
strongly prefers to award funding for research and development
activities through competitive solicitations.
