Department of Energy (DOE):
Agency Related Funding Opportunities
Articles of Interest:
“Last week, Energy Secretary Steven Chu released guidelines to improve his department’s ability to issue
direct loans, loan guarantees, and other forms of funding. As a recipient of $39 billion in stimulus funds
(compared to a FY08 budget of $24 billion), the DOE has a goal to disperse 70 percent of its stimulus funds
by the end of next year. Some of Secretary Chu's reform items include:
- Institute rolling appraisals of applications, reviewing them soon after submission;
- Offer applicants the ability to pay up-front fees after a loan is approved;
- Restructure credit subsidies to enable payment over the life of the loan;
- Hire additional staff to process applications; and,
- Produce a website to both provide transparency and guide applicants though the process.”
