Opportunity Summary:
The Algal Road Mapping Request For Information (RFI), Funding Opportunity Number DE-PS36-09GO39010, is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) information-gathering notice rather than a grant solicitation. In other words, it is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) and DOE is not accepting applications or proposing awards under this posting. Instead, DOE is asking the public to provide written feedback on a Draft National Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap that was developed by a DOE-commissioned working group. The intent is to collect practical, technical, and strategic input that DOE can use to refine the roadmap before it is finalized and released publicly.
The draft roadmap is meant to guide national planning around algal biofuels and to support DOE program development, specifically helping shape an "Algae Platform" within DOE's Office of the Biomass Program. DOE is particularly interested in hearing from stakeholders who did not participate in the DOE Algal Biofuels Technology Roadmap Workshop held in December, but people who attended that workshop are still welcome to submit comments. All responses will be reviewed by DOE and may be used to inform future program strategies, priorities, and planning decisions.
Because this is strictly an RFI, DOE makes clear that it will not pay respondents for the information they submit. DOE also emphasizes that providing feedback does not guarantee any future funding opportunity will follow; there may or may not be a subsequent FOA as a result of this process. The listing shows no award funding parameters (award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0), reflecting that there are no grants or contracts being issued under this announcement.
The opportunity is categorized under discretionary activity in the energy area and is associated with CFDA 81.087 (Renewable Energy Research and Development). Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning any type of entity may respond, subject to any clarifications that might appear in the full RFI text. The notice was posted June 3, 2009, and the response deadline (closing date) is August 3, 2009, with an archive date of December 3, 2009. The issuing office is DOE's Golden Field Office.
For questions about the substance of the RFI, DOE directs respondents to use the "Submit question" feature in the DOE Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) at http://e-center.doe.gov. For access or technical issues, the IIPS HelpDesk can be reached at iipshelpdesk@e-center.doe.gov. The announcement also lists points of contact including Melissa Wise and an email address for the RFI: algaeRFI@go.doe.gov. The full RFI document is available through the link provided in the posting (noted as being accessible by scrolling to the bottom of the page).
