Current Federal Bioeconomy Funding Opportunities

Need information on current federal bioeconomy funding opportunities? Our website has recently added two new pages that may be of value to you.

The first is our new Government Programs & Resources Page.  This page contains a list of all the different U.S. Government Funding Programs and Resources available to support companies and projects in renewable energy, the bioeconomy and energy efficiency.

The second is our new Federal Funding Opportunities.  This contains the details of the current federal bioeconomy funding – i.e. the details on the U.S. Government Funding Programs and Resources available to support companies and projects in renewable energy, the bioeconomy and energy efficiency.  This one is updated regularly as it contains information on the current fundings available, who qualifies as an “eligible applicant”, and the application windows and dates for submitting materials.

These pages were written by Bill Hagy, Lee Enterprises Consulting’s VP who oversees our assistance to clients in obtaining grants, loans, loan guarantees.  As many of you know, Bill is a retired United States Department of Agriculture’s Rural Development expert.  He spent over three decades at the US Department of Agriculture, starting as a field agent and moving to Acting Under Secretary for Rural Development.  Bill spent his last three years at the agency as the Special Assistant for Renewable Energy to Former United States Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, where he advised on policy matters relating to alternative/renewable energy development.  Bill has a very deep knowledge of federal loan and funding programs and leads our services to clients seeking to access these programs that provide financial assistance for research, development, demonstration, and commercial scale renewable energy/ energy efficiency.
