advance
equal opportunity in higher education, strengthen the capacity of Minority
Serving Institutions to provide the highest quality education, and increase

opportunities for these institutions to participate in and benefit from
Federal
programs. To support these programs, this Solar Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) intends to solicit applications only from Minority
Serving
Institutions to enhance these institutions and encourage their
participation in
Federal programs in the area of solar technologies. Successful Applicants
will
receive awards to support undergraduate and graduate students, and their
faculty advisors to conduct energy research in areas of photovoltaics,
concentrating solar power, solar systems integration and solar market
transformation. Examples of research supported by the DOE Solar Energy
Technologies Program can be found at http://www1.eere.energy.gov/solar/.

APPLICATIONS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH FEDCONNECT AT
https://www.fedconnect.net/ UNDER THIS ANNOUNCEMENT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR
AWARD. NOTE: Organizations with system-to-system capabilities with
Grants.gov, (i.e., Universities) for their submissions may continue to use
their systems, and their applications will be accepted in Grants.gov to be
considered for award.

To submit an application in response to this FOA, Applicants must be
registered
with FedConnect. Before you can register with FedConnect, you will need
the
following:
1. Your company¿s DUNS (including plus 4 extension if applicable). If you

don¿t know your
company¿s DUNS or if your company does not have a DUNS you can search for
it or
request one at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/displayHomePage.do.
2. A federal Central Contractor Registration (CCR) account. If your
company
is not currently registered with CCR, please register at www.ccr.gov before

continuing with your FedConnect registration.
3. Possibly, your company¿s CCR MPIN. If you are the first person from
your
company to register, FedConnect will need to create a company account. Only
a
person who knows your company¿s CCR MPIN can do this. To find out who this
is
in your company, go to http://www.ccr.gov/ and click Search CCR. Once
you¿ve
found your company, locate the Electronic Business Point of Contact.

After the initial FedConnect account is created, employees can register
themselves without
the MPIN. If you are not sure whether your company has an account with
FedConnect, don¿t
worry. Complete the registration form and FedConnect will let you know.

Applicants who are not registered with CCR and FedConnect, should allow at
least 21 days
to complete these requirements. It is suggested that the process be
started as
soon as
possible. For those Applicants already registered in CCR, the CCR
registration
must be updated annually at http://www.ccr.gov/Renew.aspx.

Questions regarding the content of the announcement must be submitted
through
the FedConnect portal. You must register with FedConnect to respond as an
interested party to submit questions, and to view responses to questions.
It
is recommended that you register as soon after release of the FOA as
possible
to have the benefit of all responses. More information is available at
https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/PublicPages/FedConnect_Ready_Set_Go.pdf.

DOE will try to respond to a question within 3 business days, unless a
similar
question and answer have already been posted on the website.

Questions pertaining to the submission of applications through FedConnect
should be directed by e-mail to support@FedConnect.net or by phone to
