DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
Chicago Operations Office; Financial Assistance Award; the
Electrochemical Society, Inc.
AGENCY: U.S. Department of Energy.
ACTION: Intent to Award Based on an Unsolicited Application.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that pursuant to the
provisions of 10 CFR 600.14, it intends to renew Grant No. DE-FG02-
87CE34012 based on an unsolicited application received from the
Electrochemical Society for the Electrochemical Society Summer
Fellowship Program. The determination to renew this grant is based on
the following information: A technical evaluation of the proposed
project was performed pursuant to 10 CFR 600.14 (d). This renewal will
provide five summer fellowships during 1996, 1997 and 1998 for students
engaged in electrochemical research. The research will address energy-
related aspects of electrochemical science and engineering, as well as
solid state science and engineering relevant to batteries and fuel
cells. Photoelectrochemistry and electrochemical processes in materials
will also be explored with the goal being to reduce energy consumption.
The objectives of this program are to increase students' awareness of
the energy efficiency and renewable energy programs at DOE, contribute
new understanding of basic phenomena related to electrochemical energy
conversion, and provide training for new scientists and technologists
in the field electrochemistry to ensure a continuing reservoir of
electrochemical expertise. The probability of achieving the anticipated
objectives is extremely high. The facilities and qualifications of the
key personnel are appropriate. DOE knows of no other entity which is
conducting or planning to conduct such an effort. The DOE share of
funding is estimated at $45,000 for the three year project period which
shall go directly to the fellowship recipients in the form of five
$3,000 scholarships each year. The anticipated term of the renewal
period is June 1, 1996 through May 31, 1999.
