DOE rolls out third stimulus installment for science

The US Department of Energy announced that $327 million has been allocated for scientific research. The money is the third and final installment of the $1.6 billion of Recovery Act funding awarded to the DOE's Office of Science.

About two thirds of the money will go to DOE National Laboratories and the remaining third will go to universities, nonprofits and companies. Most of the money going to national laboratories is already allocated to specific projects.

Highlights of the projects most directly related to energy include $20.9 million for fusion research at five of the laboratories, $9.4 million for bioenergy research at two of the laboratories, and $2.4 million for mathematical analysis related to the smart grid at three of the laboratories.
