Description
The Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Indian Energy intends to issue a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to provide financial support to Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) to plan the transition of their campuses to clean energy. The DOE Office of Indian Energy will provide grants to eligible TCUs, with awards ranging from $100,000 to $250,000 for planning grants. The estimated period of performance for each award will be approximately two to three years.
Key aspects of this opportunity include:
• Eligible TCUs must be institutions of higher education located in the 48 contiguous United States or Alaska and be defined and eligible based on the Tribally Controlled Community College Assistance Act of 1978 and the Higher Education Act of 1965.
• No recipient cost share is anticipated under the planned FOA.
• The DOE Office of Indian Energy envisions awarding multiple financial assistance awards in the form of grants.
• Applicants must register with IE-Exchange, obtain a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), and register in the System for Award Management (SAM) to be eligible to submit an application.
