Opportunity Summary:
Advanced Management and Protection of Energy Storage Devices (AMPED) is an ARPA-E funding opportunity (DE-FOA-0000675) aimed at advancing science and technology and other research and development related to energy storage devices, with an emphasis on better management and protection approaches. The program is offered as a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement funding instrument, and it anticipates making around 17 awards. Overall estimated funding for the program is about $30,000,000, with individual awards expected to range from a $250,000 floor up to a $10,000,000 ceiling. Cost sharing is required, so applicants should plan to contribute a portion of the total project cost from non-federal sources in accordance with ARPA-E requirements.
This notice is specifically an amendment to the original FOA and is primarily administrative in nature. It makes two key changes: first, it updates the due date for Replies to Reviewer Comments to June 25, 2012; second, it removes Section VI.B.11. That removed section had been intended to implement Section 316 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, which requires recipients of Department of Energy grants over $1,000,000 to upgrade facility lighting that does not meet federal incandescent efficiency standards (42 U.S.C. 6295). ARPA-E removed the section because Section 316 applies only to grants, and this FOA is structured around cooperative agreements and other forms of financial assistance rather than grants. The notice clarifies that if ARPA-E were to issue a grant under this program (described as unlikely and not expected), the statutory lighting requirement would still apply in that circumstance.
Eligibility under AMPED is broad and includes small businesses, other for-profit organizations, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit 501(c)(3) organizations, as well as state governments and other eligible entities described in the FOA. Individuals are also eligible: U.S. citizens and permanent residents may apply either as standalone applicants, as the lead of a project team, or as a team member. Domestic entities incorporated in the United States (including U.S. territories) may participate as standalone applicants, team leads, or team members. Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) may participate as team leads or members but cannot apply as standalone applicants. DOE/NNSA government-owned, government-operated (GOGO) entities are not eligible, while non-DOE/NNSA GOGOs and state and local government entities may participate only as project team members (not as standalone applicants or team leads). Foreign entities, whether for-profit or nonprofit, are also eligible as standalone applicants, team leads, or team members. Consortia may apply as well, but they must designate a consortium representative as part of the project team structure.
From a submission and compliance standpoint, the FOA is very specific about process. Notices of Intent, Full Applications, and Replies to Reviewer Comments must be submitted through ARPA-E eXCHANGE, ARPA-E's online application portal, and submissions through any other method will not be reviewed or considered. Applicants are directed to obtain the full FOA and all required templates and forms through the ARPA-E eXCHANGE system and to follow the ARPA-E eXCHANGE User Guide for step-by-step instructions. Required application forms available through eXCHANGE include SF-424, SF-424A, a Business Assurances Form, and an Other Sources of Funding Disclosure form. The FOA also provides sample responses as appendices for the Business Assurances and Other Sources of Funding Disclosure forms, along with a sample Summary Slide. In addition to standard federal forms, applicants are required to use ARPA-E-provided templates for the Technical Volume, Technical Milestones, Summary Slide, and the Reply to Reviewer Comments, reinforcing that format and content expectations are tightly controlled.
Key dates reflected in the listing include a posted date of April 3, 2012, and a closing date of May 23, 2012 for the main application submission (with applicants urged to submit at least 48 hours before the deadline). The amendment highlights the separate due date of June 25, 2012 for Replies to Reviewer Comments. The opportunity was later archived on July 1, 2013. For help accessing the announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Jemal G. Williams at 202-287-1483 and jemal.williams@hq.doe.gov.
