The Department of Energy’s Bioimaging Research for Bioenergy Grants aims to support fundamental research in understanding complex biological systems for DOE energy missions. This grant focuses on defining principles guiding genetic code translation for bioenergy and bioproduct production. The BER’s Mesoscale to Molecules activity enhances bioimaging capabilities for visualizing key molecules and structures in plant and microbial systems essential for bioenergy research. Applicants can apply until March 16, 2018, to contribute to advancing predictive understanding of biological processes for sustainable energy solutions.

Eligibility
| Eligible Applicants: | Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled “Additional Information on Eligibility” |
| Additional Information on Eligibility: | All types of applicants are eligible to apply as the prime applicant (lead institution), except DOE/NNSA National Laboratories, other Federal Agencies, FFRDC Contractors, and nonprofit organizations described in section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 that engaged in lobbying activities after December 31, 1995.
Synergistic collaborations with researchers in other Federal Agencies and their FFRDC’s, including the DOE/NNSA National Laboratories are permitted; but DOE/NNSA National Laboratories, other Federal agencies, and their FFRDC’s are not permitted to apply as the lead institution. DOE/NNSA National Laboratories, other Federal agencies, and their FFRDC’s may submit applications in response to this FOA as collaborators to a lead institution’s application. Such proposed collaborations should be limited to filling critical voids in expertise and can represent no more than 25 percent of the total budget. Collaborators from DOE/NNSA National Laboratories, other Federal Agencies, or their FFRDC’s may not exceed 25 percent of the total budget for the collaborative group. |

| Description: | The BER supports fundamental research to advance a predictive understanding of complex biological and environmental systems relevant to DOE energy missions. Starting with the genetic potential encoded by organisms’ genomes, BER-supported programs seek to define the principles that guide the translation of the genetic code into functional metabolism to understand, predict, manipulate and design biological processes for beneficial bioenergy and bioproduct production. BER’s Mesoscale to Molecules activity supports these efforts through basic research to enable the development of bioimaging capabilities for in situ visualization of the spatial and temporal distributions of key molecules, metabolites, enzymes and cellular structures in plant and microbial systems relevant to bioenergy research. |
