SIEBEL ENERGY INSTITUTE, founded in 2015, is a small nonprofit that reported $280K in total revenue in fiscal year 2019. Revenue fell 80% from the prior year — a significant decline worth monitoring. Expenses of $348K exceeded revenue, resulting in a 24% operating deficit.

Mission

THE SIEBEL ENERGY INSTITUTE IS A NONPROFIT THAT FUNDS RESEARCH IN DATA ANALYTICS AND MACHINE LEARNING TO ACCELERATE ADVANCEMENTS IN ENERGY SCIENCE. IN 2015 THE INSTITUTE WAS ESTABLISHED WITH A CONSORTIUM OF EIGHT RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS: CARNEGIE MELLON UNIVERSITY, ECOLE POLYTECHNIQUE, MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY, POLITECNICO DI TORINO, PRINCETON UNIVERSITY, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA AT BERKELEY, UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS AT URBANA CHAMPAIGN, AND UNIVERSITY OF TOKYO. USING THE SIEBEL ENERGY INSTITUTE GRANT AWARDS, THE RESEARCH TEAMS DEVELOP LARGER RESEARCH PROPOSALS AND GRANT SUBMISSIONS TO GOVERNMENT ENTITIES AND FOUNDATIONS WITHIN A LEVERAGED FUNDING MODEL. THE SIEBEL ENERGY INSTITUTE FOSTERS RESEARCH COLLABORATION AMONG THESE PREMIER UNIVERSITIES.

Program Service Accomplishments

Program 1

THE INSTITUTE INVITES RESEARCHERS TO SUBMIT BRIEF PROPOSALS FOR SEED GRANTS TO DEVELOP LARGER SUBMISSIONS TO GOVERNMENT ENTITIES AND FOUNDATIONS. ONE-TIME GRANTS OF $50,000 ARE AVAILABLE, WITH LARGER AWARDS POTENTIALLY CONTEMPLATED FOR VERY LARGE TEAMS SPANNING THREE OR MORE CONSORTIUM MEMBER INSTITUTIONS. IT IS THE EXPECTATION OF THE INSTITUTE THAT ANY PROPOSAL WILL BE COMPLETED AND SUBMITTED WITHIN A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS OF THE TEAM'S RECEIPT OF THE SEED FUNDING. DURING 2019, NO SEED GRANTS WERE MADE.

EACH YEAR THE INSTITUTE WILL COORDINATE WITH THE SIEBEL SCHOLARS FOUNDATION TO SELECT UP TO ONE SIEBEL SCHOLAR IN ENERGY SCIENCE TO BE NOMINATED FROM EACH CONSORTIUM MEMBER INSTITUTION. THIS PROGRAM IS DESIGNED TO HONOR AND SUPPORT EMERGING SCHOLARS IN AREAS RELATED TO THE FOCUS OF THE INSTITUTE. EACH RECIPIENT WILL BE DESIGNATED AS A SIEBEL SCHOLAR AND WILL RECEIVE A MERIT-BASED $35,000 AWARD TO DEFRAY THE COSTS OF THEIR EDUCATION. DURING 2019, 8 GRANTS WERE MADE TO SIEBEL SCHOLARS IN ENERGY SCIENCE FOR A TOTAL OF $280,000.
