Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002035
The Subsurface Biogeochemical Research (SBR) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0002035) is a discretionary research funding program offered by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science. It sits within the Environmental System Science (ESS) activity under the Climate and Environmental Sciences Division (CESD) in the Office of Biological and Environmental Research (BER). The overall focus is on advancing science and technology research related to subsurface biogeochemical processes, with the larger purpose of improving how well the Earth system can be predicted from seasonal timeframes out to multiple decades.
At the program level, the opportunity is tied directly to CESD's mission: strengthening seasonal-to-multi-decadal predictability of the Earth system by combining long-term field experiments, use of DOE scientific user facilities, modeling and simulation, uncertainty characterization, high-end computing, process-focused research, and modern data analytics and data management. In practical terms, this means the program is looking for research that helps explain and represent the underlying physical, chemical, and biological processes occurring in the subsurface (such as soil and groundwater environments) in ways that can ultimately feed into better models and better decisions relevant to national energy and environmental challenges.
The solicitation points applicants to the 2018 CESD Strategic Plan, which lays out five major scientific grand challenges and related research questions that guide BER/CESD investments over a five-year horizon. While the opportunity description here does not list those challenges explicitly, it makes clear that proposed SBR projects are expected to align with the strategic plan's direction and contribute to the broader research portfolio and user facility ecosystem managed by the division. The intent is not just to fund isolated studies, but to build knowledge and predictive capability using coordinated experimentation, computation, and data-centric approaches consistent with CESD priorities.
From an administrative and funding perspective, this is a grant mechanism under a Science and Technology / Research and Development activity category, with CFDA number 81.049. The opportunity was created on January 7, 2019, with an original closing date of April 11, 2019. DOE anticipated making around 10 awards, with an award ceiling of $600,000 per award. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided in the full announcement's eligibility section. The sponsoring agency is the Department of Energy, Office of Science.
In summary, this funding opportunity supports research that deepens understanding of subsurface biogeochemical systems and improves the ability to predict Earth system behavior over longer time horizons. It emphasizes integrated approaches that combine field science, user facility capabilities, advanced computation, rigorous uncertainty methods, and strong data practices, all in service of CESD's strategic plan and DOE's broader energy and environmental mission.Apply for DE FOA 0002035
