Synopsis

The OSMRE Applied Science Program funds the development of new reclamation science and technology to address environmental issues related to the mining of coal and reclamation of the land after mining. The program selects and funds applied science proposals that improve public and environmental health protection. The science and technology advanced by these projects serves the public through activities that: Protect identified endangered speciesImprove reforestation and re-vegetationProtect prime farmlandImprove technologies to mitigate acid mine drainageImprove methods for locating underground minesEnhance the protection of the public and environment associated with surface coal mining

Who can apply

DOI’s Minority Serving Institutions are encouraged to apply for Applied Science project funding. Applied Science projects contribute to the goal of improving the quality of science and technology instruction in institutions that serve high concentrations of minority students who historically have been underrepresented in higher education. Documentation must be submitted to support an eligibility determination (e.g., proof of non-profit IRS 501(c) (3) status as determined by the Internal Revenue Service or an authorizing tribal resolution).
