DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

Golden Field Office; Grant Award to the University of Pittsburgh

AGENCY: Department of Energy.

ACTION: Notice of Noncompetitive Financial Assistance Award.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), pursuant to the DOE 
Financial Assistance Rules, 10 CFR 600.7, is announcing its intention 
to award a grant to the University of Pittsburgh for continuing 
research activities to advance the state-of-the-art in designing 
macromolecular electron delivery systems for artificial biocatalysis.

ADDRESSES: Questions regarding this announcement may be addressed to 
the U.S. Department of Energy, Golden Office, 1617 Cole Blvd., Golden, 
Colorado 80401, Attention: John K. Lewis, Contract Specialist at (303) 
275-4787. The Contracting Officer is John W. Meeker at (303) 275-4787. 
The Project Officer is G. William Ives at (303) 275-4755.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The University of Pittsburgh has been 
conducting research for a number of years to develop electron delivery 
systems for artificial biocatalysis. Successful completion of this 
research will advance the goal to further develop the mapping of 
electron transfer pathways and to investigate multiple electron 
transfer reaction mechanisms necessary to reduce CO2. This work is 
an extension of work currently being funded by DOE and competition for 
this effort would have a significant adverse impact on the continuity 
of this research program. The applicant has an exclusive domestic 
capability to perform this activity successfully because of the unique 
expertise of the principal investigator and the unique laboratory 
facility designed to support these efforts.
    DOE has performed a review in accordance with 10 CFR 600.7 and has 
determined that the activity to be funded is necessary to 
satisfactorily complete the current project. DOE funding for this grant 
is estimated at $300,000 and the anticipated period of performance is 
thirty-six (36) months.

    Issued in Golden, Colorado on July 25, 1994.

Contracting Officer.
