WASHINGTON, Dec. 2 -- The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science announced that it expects to award up to 100 discretionary grants for support of research programs in high energy physics.
The estimated total program funding available was cited as $100 million with a ceiling of $15 million for each award in the program. The agency said the grant was associated with science and technology and other research and development.
The funding is open to state, county, city, township and special district governments; independent school districts; private, public and state controlled institutionsof higher education; Native American tribal governments and organizations; Historically Black Colleges and Universities; Tribally controlled colleges; non-profits; for profits; small businesses; eligible agencies of the federal government; and faith-based or community-based organizations.
The agency description of the grant states: "The mission of the HEP program is to understand how the universe works at its most fundamental level, which is done by discovering the elementary constituents of matter and energy, probing the interactions between them, and exploring the basic nature of space and time. The scientific objectives and priorities for the field recommended by the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel (HEPAP) are detailed in its recent long-range strategic Particle Physics Project Prioritization Plan (P5), available at: https://science.osti.gov/~/media/hep/hepap/pdf/May-2014/FINAL_P5_Report_Interactive_060214.pdf.
The HEP program focuses on three (3) experimental scientific frontiers:
* The Energy Frontier - where powerful accelerators are used to create new particles, reveal their interactions, and investigate fundamental forces;
* The Intensity Frontier - where intense particle beams and highly sensitive detectors are used to pursue alternate pathways to investigate fundamental forces and particle interactions by studying events that occur rarely in nature, and to provide precision measurements of these phenomena; and
* The Cosmic Frontier - where non-accelerator-based experiments observe the cosmos and detect cosmic particles, making measurements of natural phenomena that can provide information about the nature of dark matter, dark energy, and other fundamental properties of the universe that impact our understanding of matter and energy.
Together, these three interrelated and complementary discovery frontiers offer the opportunity to answer some of the most basic questions about the world around us. Also integral to the mission of HEP are three crosscutting research areas that enable new scientific opportunities by developing the necessary tools and methods for discoveries:
* Theoretical High Energy Physics, where the vision and mathematical framework for understanding and extending the knowledge of particles, forces, space-time, and the universe are developed;
* Accelerator Science and Technology Research and Development, where the technologies and basic science needed to design, build, and operate the accelerator facilities essential for making new discoveries are developed; and
* Detector Research and Development, where the basic science and technologies needed to design and build the High Energy Physics detectors essential for making new discoveries are developed."
The funding opportunity number is DE-FOA-0002172 (CFDA 81.049). It was posted on Nov. 22 with an application closing date of Jan. 23, 2020.

The agency description of the grant states: "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is seeking applications to better understand the potential impacts of per-and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) on water quality and availability in rural communities and agricultural operations across the United States. The Agency is seeking new information on PFAS occurrence, fate, and transport in water sources used by rural communities and agricultural operations, and new or improved PFAS treatment methods appropriate for small drinking water and wastewater systems including influents, effluents, and biosolids/residuals."

$5.8 Million Funding Available for Research Programs to Improve Competitiveness of Organic Livestock Producers
by MYRA TUGADE
WASHINGTON, Nov. 24 -- The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture announced that it expects to award a discretionary grant for the development and implementation of research, extension and higher education programs to improve the competitiveness of organic livestock and crop producers.
The estimated total program funding available was cited as $5.8 million with a ceiling of $500,000 for each award in the program. The agency said the grant was associated with agriculture.

The funding is open to colleges and universities as defined in section 1404 of the NationalAgricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act of 1977 (NARETPA, 7 U.S.C. 3103).
The agency description of the grant states: "The overall goal of the Organic Transitions Program (ORG) is to support the development and implementation of research, extension and higher education programs to improve the competitiveness of organic livestock and crop producers, as well as those who are adopting organic practices. NIFA administers the ORG program by determining priorities in U.S. agriculture through Agency stakeholder input processes in consultation with the NAREEEAB. ORG will continue to prioritize environmental services provided by organic farming systems in the area of soil conservation, pollinator health, and climate change mitigation, including greenhouse gases (GHG), as well as the development of educational tools for Cooperative Extension personnel and other agricultural professionals who advise producers on organic practices, and development of cultural practices and other allowable alternatives to substances recommended for removal from the National Organic Program's National List of Allowed and Prohibited Substances.
"It is expected that all projects will integrate research, education and extension activities, as appropriate to project goals, although some projects may be weighted more heavily than others in one or more of these areas. However, all proposals should have activities and impact in research and at least one of the other areas: education and extension."
The funding opportunity number is USDA-NIFA-ICGP-007010 (CFDA 10.303). It was posted on Nov. 21 with an application closing date of Feb. 27, 2020.
