Due to the overwhelming MIT response to the DOE Genesis Mission, RAS is providing updates and reminders to the community on an ongoing basis.
DOE Genesis Mission Team Amendment #2
The DOE Genesis team released Amendment #2 encouraging subaward proposals, in contrast to prior guidance requiring collaborative proposals.
We have received DOE confirmation that both subaward AND collaborative applications will be accepted and reviewed, and neither will be penalized in any manner.
Reminders
- RAS deadline for submission to RAS is April 21st by 5pm.
- Research Security Training: This DOE requirement must be completed prior to submission of the proposal via KC for all PIs and all Key Personnel, aka Covered Individuals.
- Industry cost sharing on the DOE Genesis proposals for industry collaborators is calculated at 20% of their individual for-profit budget, not the entire budget.
Questions
For questions regarding DOE Genesis Mission proposals, please contact RA-Help@mit.edu. The RA Support team will be available during off-hours, including the weekend and holiday, to triage any questions. The next drop-in session will be on Thursday, April 23, at 9am.
