Grants and Loans From The Department of Energy

by: Michael Saunders

Are you a scientific investigator who is looking for financial assistance from the government? Do you represent a local government or a nonprofit organization in their quest of improving the country's energy, environmental and nuclear systems?

If you've answered yes to all the questions above, I'm sure you'd be more than pleased to find out that the government can help you with your problem.

How exactly will the government do that, you ask?

In 1977, the President of the United States of America signed the The Department of Energy Organization Act which mandated the creation of the United States Department of Energy, which more commonly known as DOE.

Since its establishment, the Department of Energy has been pioneering the exploitation of informative science in order to address the country's energy, environmental and nuclear challenges.
