Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a Notice of Intent from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), specifically the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) through its Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO), signaling that DOE was planning to release a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) called "Next Generation of Electric Machines." The notice itself is not a funding competition and is meant only as an early heads-up to organizations that may want to apply once the real FOA is released. It was posted on February 4, 2015, by the DOE Golden Field Office, and it references an anticipated FOA number (DE-FOA-0001208), while the notice record carries its own funding opportunity number (DE-FOA-0001221).
The central point is that no applications can be submitted under this Notice of Intent. There is no open or closing date because it is not an active solicitation, and the listed funding fields reflect that: estimated total funding is shown as $0, with an award ceiling and floor also at $0. The notice also instructs the public not to submit questions or otherwise respond to the notice, which is somewhat unusual compared to many pre-solicitation announcements that invite feedback. In other words, this posting is purely informational and does not start the application process.
Even though it is not accepting applications, the notice gives practical direction for interested parties. Prospective applicants are encouraged to start preparing in advance by building partnerships, developing project concepts, and gathering the technical and programmatic data they would likely need for a competitive proposal once the FOA is issued. The notice also flags the DOE's usual caveat for these situations: everything described is subject to change. EERE could publish the FOA largely as described, could publish something substantially different, or could decide not to issue an FOA at all.
The planned mechanism for submission, if and when the FOA is released, is EERE eXCHANGE, DOE's online platform for EERE funding applications. The notice says the FOA was anticipated to be posted to EERE eXCHANGE in February 2015 and emphasizes that applicants need to register and create an account on the EERE eXCHANGE website ahead of time. It also points users to an online user guide hosted on EERE's website (accessible after logging into the system), which is meant to help applicants navigate the portal and submission steps.
In terms of eligibility, the notice lists applicants as "Unrestricted," meaning it is broadly open to many entity types, subject to any additional restrictions that might appear in the actual FOA. The activity category is Energy, and it is associated with CFDA number 81.087 (Renewable Energy Research and Development). The listing indicates that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement tied to the notice itself, though any cost-share expectations would ultimately be governed by the final FOA terms rather than this advance notice.
For administrative details and support, the listing provides a contact for electronic access issues: Chris R. Kudola, with the email address chris.kudola@ee.doe.gov. The additional information link points to the EERE eXCHANGE site. The notice was later archived on April 4, 2015, reinforcing that it served as a time-limited pre-announcement rather than an application window.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs): DOE Notice of Intent - "Next Generation of Electric Machines"
1) What is this opportunity, in plain terms?
This posting is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), through the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO). It is an early, informational heads-up that DOE was planning to release a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "Next Generation of Electric Machines."

4) Why does the funding table show $0 for total funding, award floor, and award ceiling?
Because this is not an active funding announcement. The listing reflects that there is no money being awarded under the Notice of Intent, so the estimated total funding and the award floor/ceiling are shown as $0.
5) Is there an open date or a deadline to apply?
No. Since the Notice of Intent is not an application opportunity, it does not have an open date or a closing date.
6) What FOA is DOE indicating may be released in the future?

12) Is DOE guaranteed to release the FOA described in the notice?
No. The notice includes the standard DOE caveat that plans are subject to change. EERE could issue the FOA largely as described, could issue something substantially different, or could decide not to issue an FOA at all.
