Opportunity Summary:
The NODES funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001289) is an ARPA-E discretionary grant program focused on science and technology research and development. Awards are issued as cooperative agreements, which typically means ARPA-E expects a more active role in project oversight and engagement than in a standard grant. The announcement indicates an anticipated portfolio of about 15 awards, supported by an estimated total program funding level of $30,000,000. Individual project awards are expected to range from a floor of $250,000 up to a ceiling of $10,000,000, and applicants should plan for a cost-sharing or matching requirement, since cost share is explicitly required under this FOA.
This posting is a modification to the original Funding Opportunity Announcement and is primarily administrative in nature. The stated purpose of the modification is to incorporate changes to the FOA and, specifically, to correct a clerical error related to the "Expected Date for Selection Notifications" on the cover page. In other words, the substance of this update is to fix a date error rather than to introduce a new technical scope or major eligibility change. The authoritative version of the FOA is available through the ARPA-E website, and applicants are directed to retrieve the full announcement from the ARPA-E FOA portal.
Applications must be submitted through ARPA-E eXCHANGE, ARPA-E's online submission system, and ARPA-E states that it will not review or consider full applications submitted through any other method. For applicants who need operational help using the submission portal, ARPA-E points to the ARPA-E eXCHANGE User Guide hosted online. The funding opportunity followed a two-step process with separate deadlines: concept papers were due March 20, 2015, and full applications were due July 27, 2015. In both cases, ARPA-E strongly encouraged submission at least 48 hours ahead of the deadline to reduce the risk of last-minute technical or administrative issues.
Eligibility is described as "unrestricted," meaning it is broadly open to many entity types, but applicants are directed to consult Section III.A of the FOA for the formal eligibility rules and any constraints or clarifications. The program is associated with CFDA number 81.135 (Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy). Key dates included a posted date of February 4, 2015, and an archive date of October 7, 2015, which signals the opportunity is no longer open for new submissions under that cycle. For access issues with the full announcement, the contact listed is Lisa V. Persson at Lisa.Persson@hq.doe.gov.
