Opportunity Information: Apply for S22AS00003
The OSMRE Mine Drainage Technology Initiative (MDTI) is a discretionary federal funding opportunity administered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Office of Surface Mining Reclamation and Enforcement (OSMRE). It supports science and technology-related research and development efforts connected to mine drainage, with an emphasis on projects that strengthen education and training in relevant technical fields. A key stated priority is encouraging applications from Minority Serving Institutions, with the broader goal of improving the quality of science and technology instruction at schools that enroll high concentrations of minority students who have historically been underrepresented in higher education.
Funding is provided through a cooperative agreement, which generally means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the life of the project (for example, coordination on project direction, deliverables, or technical collaboration), rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 15.255, categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development.
Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, certain nonprofit organizations that hold IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education in that category), and Native American tribal organizations (other than federally recognized tribal governments). The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $200,000. The opportunity record indicates an original closing date of October 31, 2022, and a creation date of July 20, 2022. The listing notes expected awards, but the number is not specified in the source data provided.
In practical terms, this program is aimed at supporting projects that advance mine drainage-related technology and at the same time build instructional capacity and hands-on learning opportunities in science and engineering disciplines, particularly in settings that serve underrepresented student populations.Apply for S22AS00003
