Abstract: Section 641 of the Department of Energy Organization Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. § 7251, authorizes the DOE to collect, use, and retain information that is mandatory for the financial awards process. Financial awards are provided in the program areas of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR); Biological and Environmental Research (BER); Basic Energy Sciences (BES), Fusion Energy Sciences (FES); High Energy Physics (HEP), Nuclear Physics (NP); and Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists (WDTS). The Office of Science makes all funding decisions based on peer review of proposals submitted to the government by universities, non-profit organizations, large and small businesses, other Federal agencies, State and local governments, individuals, and DOE national laboratories seeking Federal financial support for research projects, training, and related activities. The Office of Science executes peer review for at least 3,000 financial assistance and several hundred DOE national laboratory funding proposals each year. In some circumstances, letters of intent or pre-proposals are solicited prior to proposal submission to allow advance planning of the peer review and to help ensure the responsiveness of those proposals that are eventually submitted. While Grants.gov is used for collecting financial assistance proposals, a method is needed for collecting letters of intent, pre-proposals, and contract proposals (such as those for interagency or DOE national laboratory awards).
