Research, Fusion Energy Sciences, Biological and Environmental Research, and Workforce
Development for Teachers and Scientists.
Submission to the 09-02 Funding Opportunity Announcement will require completion of the grants.gov R&R forms.
The correct application package will be attached to the Notice. Because the SF-424 form

should be entered into block #4 (Federal Identifier) and the type of submission (Renewal
or Supplemental) typed beside it.
The abstract and budget justification must be attached as separate files. The narrative
should be attached as a third, single file, with all other components such as Facilities &
Equipment, Current & Pending Funding, CVs, and Bibliographies, etc., included.
APPLICATION DUE DATE: December 31, 2008 - 8:00 pm Eastern Time
This announcement will remain open until December 31, 2008, or until it is succeeded by

announcement in mid to late December. A successor announcement is planned due to
Grants.gov's scheduled transition from the PureEdge based application system to the
Adobe Reader application system.
Note: Download the PureEdge forms associated with this announcement only if you
intend to submit your application on or before December 31, 2008. If you intend to

PROGRAM MANAGER CONTACTS:
Questions regarding the program (technical)

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
DOE will accept renewal and supplemental applications under this announcement.
Renewal applications are requests for additional funding for a period subsequent to that
provided by a current award. Renewal applications compete with all other applications
and must be submitted by any established due date/deadline or at least six months before
additional funding is required if there is no specified due date/deadline. In preparing a
renewal application, applicants should assume that reviewers will not have access to
previous applications. The application should be developed as fully as though the
applicant were applying for the first time. The application must include all the
information required for a new project, plus the project narrative section should discuss
the results from prior work.
RENEWAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
A renewal application must be submitted through grants.gov no later than six months
before the scheduled expiration of the project period. Renewal applications must include
the same forms and information as a new application, except for the following changes:
2. Include an estimate of anticipated unexpended funds that will remain at the end
of the current project period.
3. Include a progress report as a separate section that describes the results of work
accomplished through the date of the renewal application and how such results
relate to the activities proposed to be undertaken in the renewal period.
Applicants should contact the appropriate DOE Program Manager or see the SC Program
Website for guidance to determine if there are any additional requirements or limitations
on the submission of these applications.
SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS:
A supplemental application should be submitted through grants.gov no later than six
months before the scheduled expiration of the project period.
Two types of supplemental applications may be submitted:
1. If the grantee is requesting support for a new task or activity to be added to the
approved project, a supplemental application shall contain the same information as a new
application. These applications will undergo merit review and will compete for funding
with other new applications.
2. If the awardee needs additional funds:
b. to increase the "level of effort" or accelerate the project; and, if there is no change to
the project description as contained in the approved application.
Forms as instructed in Grants.gov and an explanation of the need for the additional
funding.
Applicants should contact the appropriate DOE Program Manager or see the SC Program
Website for guidance before submitting a supplemental application.
