The USDA and DOE are offering a joint research grant for genomics-based studies aimed at enhancing the use of plant feedstocks in biofuel and renewable chemical production. This grant supports research on herbaceous and woody plants with improved disease resistance, non-food oil seed crops with enhanced cold tolerance, and other agronomic traits essential for sustainable bioenergy biomass production. Funding will be allocated to projects integrating genetics and genomics to address biological challenges in cost-effective and high-quality feedstock production. Applications are open until April 20, 2018.

| Description of amendment:
This Amendment No. 000001 is issued to revise the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) to reflect that this is a joint funding opportunity announcement between the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science (DOE-SC), and the U.S. Department of Agriculture, National Institute of Food and Agriculture (USDA-NIFA). The FOA was previously released with language reflecting that it was a DOE FOA only. As a result of approval by USDA-NIFA to issue this as a joint FOA, USDA-NIFA specific language is added throughout the document and the combined estimated value is increased as reflected in Section II – AWARD INFORMATION. Potential applicants are advised to disregard the prior version of the FOA in its entirety and utilize this amended version in its place. |
