Announcement: LLNL, LBNL and SNL is forming the Joint BioEnergy Institute. LLNL and LBNL are national laboratories managed as government-owned, contractor-operated (GOCO), federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and the US Department of Energy/ Office of Science respectively. SNL is also a government-owned/contractor operated (GOCO) facility managed by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company, for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). DOE?s Office of Biological and Environmental Research (OBER) of the Office of Science, U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) desires a GenomicL GTL Program. It has released a Funding Opportunity Announcement to accelerate basic research in the development of cellulosic ethanol and other biofuels. Funding Opportunity Number DE-PS02-06ER64304, https://e-center.doe.gov/iips/faopor.nsf/UNID/E0680007EC6633FD852571BD005A4502?OpenDocument. The JBEI intends to pursue this opportunity and submit an application to establish a new Bioenergy Research Center to benefit of the scientific community and the US economy. Specifically, JBEI will be devoted to research on microbes and plants, with the purpose of making substantial progress toward cost-effectively producing biologically based renewable energy sources. JBEI will be focused on developing energy-efficient and cost-effective methods of producing alternative fuels such as cellulosic ethanol from biomass, and to achieve transformational breakthroughs in science and technology. For parties interested in supporting and/or working with the JBEI on the establishment of the new Bioenergy Research Center, please respond in writing to the JBEI by December 1, 2006 addressing each of the items listed below. JBEI will respond back by December 14, 2006. 1. Name, location(s) and descriptions including a. Recent annual report or other overview of your organization and the team that you are proposing in response to the draft RFP b.
