Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Energy (DOE), through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) Vehicle Technologies Program, released a funding opportunity to establish a consortium focused on electrochemical energy storage technologies that are suitable for automobile industry applications. The effort is aimed at advancing battery and related electrochemical storage solutions that can meet the performance, cost, safety, and manufacturability needs associated with vehicle deployment. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means DOE expects substantial involvement during the project period, such as participating in technical direction, reviewing progress, and coordinating activities with the recipient to help ensure the consortium delivers on program goals.
This opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000722, titled "Electrochemical Storage Technologies Suitable for Automobile Industry Applications," and it falls under the discretionary funding category for Energy, Science and Technology, and other research and development activities. The administering agency is the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). DOE anticipates making a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $62,500,000. The funding is presented with an award ceiling and floor both set at $62,500,000, indicating the intent to fund one consortium at the full stated amount rather than multiple smaller awards.
Applicants are broadly eligible under an "unrestricted" eligibility statement, meaning any type of entity may apply, provided they comply with any additional eligibility conditions that may be clarified in the full announcement text. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, so the recipient and/or consortium partners are expected to contribute a portion of project costs from non-federal sources in accordance with the terms described in the full FOA. The CFDA program number associated with this opportunity is 81.086 (Conservation Research and Development), which places it within DOE's assistance programs supporting research, development, and demonstration efforts connected to energy efficiency and conservation.
Key dates listed for the solicitation include a posted date of December 3, 2012, with an original and current closing date of January 31, 2013. Interested applicants were directed to access the full Funding Opportunity Announcement through DOE's eXCHANGE system, where the detailed technical scope, consortium expectations, application requirements, merit review criteria, cost share specifics, and required forms would be provided. For issues accessing the announcement, the point of contact is Jodi L. Collins, reachable via the email address DEFOA0000722@netl.doe.gov.
