DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY

Notice of Availability of Solicitation

AGENCY: Idaho Operations Office,

Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of availability of

solicitation—biobased products

industry education initiative.

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of

Energy, Office of Industrial

Technologies, is seeking applications

from private and public institutions of

higher learning to promote

multidisciplinary education and

training programs for graduate students

at the Masters or Ph.D. levels in the area

of biobased products.

The emerging biobased products

industry uses crops, trees, residues, and

wastes to make chemicals and a large

range of everyday consumer goods, like

plastics, paints and adhesives.

Contributions to this new industry

would come from a wide range of

traditional academic programs

including: biology, molecular and

micro-biology, genomics, plant

physiology, fermentation sciences,

agronomy, crop production, forestry,

chemistry, chemical engineering and

other engineering disciplines, and

polymer and material science. These

examples are cited for illustrative

purposes only and are not intended to

limit the academic programs to just

those listed. This solicitation seeks to

encourage the widest possible range of

creative approaches.

DATES: The deadline for receipt of

applications is 3 p.m. MDT January 17,

2001.

ADDRESSES: Applications should be

submitted to: Procurement Services

Division, U.S. Department of Energy,

Idaho Operations Office, Attention:

Idaho 83401–1563.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Marshall Garr, Contract Specialist, at

garrmc@id.doe.gov, telephone (208)

526–1536.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

objective of this new education

initiative is to produce graduates who

can enter the complex biobased

products industry and effectively

integrate knowledge from the wide

range of technologies that are necessary

for this industry to grow. U.S.

universities and colleges are encouraged

to design a comprehensive,

multidisciplinary curriculum to achieve

such a goal from an educational

perspective and simultaneously allow

the student to gain a hands-on

experience through the implementation

of an individual relevant research

program. It is expected that the student,

under the major professor’s tutelage will

conduct a research program that will

make substantive contributions to the

biobased products industry. It is

encouraged for the students to interact

with industry in their academic and

research program.

Graduates will eventually be expected

to contribute to improving the efficient

utilization of energy in this new

industry and enhancing the

environmental quality of the

surrounding land, air and water.

The statutory authority for this

program is the Federal Non-Nuclear

Energy Research & Development Act of

1974 (Pub L. 93–577). DOE anticipates

approximately 4–5 grant awards will be

made for up to $125,000 each a year for

a maximum of three years in duration.

These grants will cover both the costs

for establishing a new cross-cutting

academic and research program in this

field as well as full stipends for 2 or so

deserving graduate students at the

Masters or Ph.D. level. The awards will

be used for the academic year starting in

the fall of 2001.

The issuance date of Solicitation No.

DE–PS07–01ID14037 will be November

27, 2000. The solicitation will be

available in full text via the Internet at

the following address: http://

www.id.doe.gov /doeid/psd/procdiv.html. Technical and non-technical

questions should be submitted in
