Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0003016
The University Turbine Systems Research (UTSR) opportunity is a U.S. Department of Energy initiative, managed through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), that supports university-led research focused on gas turbine technologies. The program is designed to fund cutting-edge research and development across key technical areas that matter for turbine performance, efficiency, durability, and emissions. Projects supported under UTSR can span topics such as combustion (including approaches to improve stability and reduce emissions), aerodynamics and heat transfer (to improve component performance and thermal management), and advanced materials (to extend component life in high-temperature, high-stress turbine environments). In practical terms, the opportunity is geared toward advancing the science and engineering that underpins next-generation turbine systems, with universities conducting research that can contribute to improved energy conversion and cleaner, more reliable turbine operation.
This funding opportunity was released as a discretionary grant under Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0003016, with awards issued using a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project period, meaning recipients should expect more active technical engagement, coordination, and reporting expectations than with a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as Energy and Environment, and the associated CFDA number is 81.089, which is commonly used to track DOE financial assistance programs.
Eligibility is limited to institutions of higher education, including both public/state-controlled universities and private universities. The opportunity was created on September 7, 2023, and the original application deadline was November 7, 2023, by 11:59 pm Eastern Time. DOE anticipated making about eight awards under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $800,000 per project, indicating mid-sized research awards intended to support focused academic research efforts rather than large demonstration-scale deployments. Overall, the UTSR program functions as a portfolio-based university research effort aimed at generating new knowledge, methods, and enabling technologies in gas turbine systems through advanced R&D carried out in academic settings.Apply for DE FOA 0003016
