'''Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR)''' aims to enhance the capabilities of underrepresented academic institutions in conducting fundamental research in energy-related sciences. By providing financial support, FAIR promotes inclusivity, diversity, and equity in the scientific research community, focusing on strengthening research at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) and emerging research institutions (ERIs).{{cite web |url=https://science.osti.gov/Initiatives/FAIR |title=Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) |accessdate=January 30, 2025}} {{Official URL (simple)|url=https://science.osti.gov/Initiatives/FAIR}} ==Goals== * Increase research capacity at institutions historically underrepresented in DOE's research landscape.{{cite web |url=https://science.osti.gov/Initiatives/FAIR |title=Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research (FAIR) |accessdate=January 30, 2025}} * Foster long-term collaborations between MSIs, ERIs, and DOE national labs or user facilities. * Expand the talent pool in energy sciences by supporting diverse student and faculty engagement in research. ==Organization== FAIR is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. It operates through funding opportunities announcements (FOAs) where eligible institutions apply for grants. The program is overseen by the Office of Science's leadership, with funding decisions based on peer review processes. The leadership role for this program might be held by the Associate Director for Science or a similar position. ==Partners== * No specific partnerships are listed, but FAIR involves collaborations with DOE national laboratories, MSIs, and ERIs. ==History== FAIR was launched in 2022 to address disparities in research funding and capabilities among educational institutions. It was created to leverage the scientific potential in diverse communities, enhancing the inclusivity of DOE-funded research. Key events include the announcement of the first funding cycle in 2022, where $37 million was awarded to support 52 projects across 44 institutions. ==Funding== The initial funding for FAIR was $37 million, aimed at supporting projects for up to three years.{{cite web |url=https://www.energy.gov/articles/us-department-energy-announces-37-million-build-research-capacity-historically |title=U.S. Department of Energy Announces $37 Million to Build Research Capacity at Historically Underrepresented Institutions |accessdate=January 30, 2025}} Funding is expected to continue through future FOAs, with the exact amount varying based on DOE's budget and priorities. ==Implementation== Implementation involves: * Issuing FOAs for research proposals from eligible institutions. * Awarding grants based on scientific merit, potential for capacity building, and collaboration. * Monitoring and evaluating the impact of funded projects on institutional research capabilities. FAIR is designed to be an ongoing program, with the goal of continuously enhancing research diversity. ==Related== * [[Office of Science]] * [[Minority Serving Institutions]] ==External links== * https://science.osti.gov/Initiatives/FAIR * wikipedia:Funding for Accelerated, Inclusive Research ===Social media=== * No specific social media accounts for FAIR; follow the Department of Energy for updates. ==References== [[Category:Programs and initiatives]] [[Category:Department of Energy]]
