NCBST announces FY 2012 cost-sharing program to help NC institutions win federal dollars for U.S. Dept. of Energy (DOE)

This announcement is noteworthy for scholars working on energy issues that relate to DOE R&D programs. I suspect this may be a bit far afield for many of us, but CHASS scholars have researched energy issues, so this will be of interest.

Summary:

This Program is designed to help North Carolina research institutions win Federally funded Energy R&D projects that require cost-sharing, expand the volume and range of Energy R&D in North Carolina, and generate intellectual property that can lead to energy-related jobs in the long term. Research organizations compete for funding by submitting proposals in response to solicitations issued for the DOE Programs.
