Opportunity Summary:
The Alternative Fuel Vehicle Deployment Initiatives Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000951, was a U.S. Department of Energy opportunity administered through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) under the Vehicle Technologies program. It was issued as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement structure, which typically means DOE/NETL expected to be substantively involved during the project period (for example, through technical direction, milestone reviews, and coordination) rather than acting only as a pass-through funder. The activity category was Energy, and the assistance listing tied to it was CFDA 81.086 (Conservation Research and Development). In practical terms, the FOA aimed to support on-the-ground initiatives that accelerate deployment of alternative fuel vehicles and related deployment activities aligned with Vehicle Technologies goals.
Funding for the FOA was set at an estimated total of $4.5 million, with DOE anticipating up to 11 awards. Individual awards were expected to range from a floor of $250,000 to a ceiling of $1,000,000. The FOA indicated no cost sharing or matching requirement, which is notable because many federal energy deployment and demonstration programs require some level of recipient cost share; in this case, applicants were not required to bring matching funds as a condition of eligibility based on the summary data provided.
Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was broadly open to any type of entity (for example, private companies, nonprofits, universities, state or local governments, and other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility conditions that may have been described in the full FOA text. The official posting date and creation date were July 16, 2014, with an application closing date of October 1, 2014. The FOA was later archived on June 16, 2015. The announcement specified that detailed application and submission deadline information and requirements were contained in the full FOA available through the EERE eXCHANGE system (the Department of Energy platform used for submitting and managing EERE-related funding applications). An additional information link was provided to the EERE eXCHANGE portal at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the announcement electronically, the FOA provided a direct point of contact: Kellyn L. Cassell at NETL, reachable at (304) 285-4554 or via email at de-foa-0000951@netl.doe.gov.
