Unleashing Tribal Energy Development. Under this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the DOE Office of Indian Energy Policy and Programs is soliciting applications to advance affordable, reliable, and secure energy development of Tribal energy resources for the benefit of Tribes and their members. Projects funded under this NOFO are expected to advance Tribal sovereignty through Tribal energy development, efficiency, and use. Projects under Topic Area 1 are expected to serve the electric loads and support the energy needs of Tribes at the scale of a Tribal community or communities. These projects entail the construction of energy assets and projects. Projects under Topic Area 2 are expected to complete all pre-development activities necessary for the deployment of community scale energy projects. Projects under Topic Area 3 are expected to complete necessary pre-development activities for large scale commercial development of Tribal energy resources which lead to enhancement and strengthening of Tribal energy and economic infrastructure. DOE expects to make approximately $50 million of federal funding available for new awards under this NOFO. DOE may issue awards in one, multiple, or none of the Topic Areas. See the NOFO document for a full description.

Seed-to-Leaf (formerly SEED-LEAF) research funding opportunity. Oregon Sea Grant is excited to launch a third Seed-to-Leaf (formerly SEED-LEAF) research funding opportunity, open to researchers affiliated with any Oregon institution of higher education. To support strong outreach and engagement approaches, ORSG outreach and engagement professionals will hold Office Hours for researchers to discuss these project elements. The Seed-to-Leaf grant competition solicits Seed proposals for interdisciplinary research projects that address cutting-edge, socioeconomic, biophysical, and/or other integrated science disciplines to address important and societally relevant marine and coastal research questions. Seed project funding provides 12 months of support for the team, ideally leading to a longer term (3.5 years), larger-scale effort: the Leaf project. Each Seed research project must include research approaches from at least two distinct disciplines, an engagement component designed to integrate potential information-users and stakeholders into the research process, and an outreach plan to ensure the research process and / or results are useful and usable to these constituencies. The three to five Seed projects will be selected through an open, competitive, peer-review process, and successful Seed teams are eligible to apply for Leaf support. The Request for Proposals (RFP) for Seed proposal (PDF) is now available. Successful Seed projects begin on January 1, 2027, ending on December 31, 2027; the successful Leaf project would begin July 1, 2028. To learn more about the Seed-to-Leaf competition, visit:https://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/research/grant-opportunities/special-request-proposals. To read about recent Seed projects and the current Leaf project, visit: https://seagrant.oregonstate.edu/research/current-research. Please reach out to Stephanie Ichien or Sarah Kolesar with any questions.
