Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Energy (DOE), through the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and its Solar Energy Technology Office, published a Notice of Intent (NOI) announcing that it expects to release a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled the SunShot Incubator Program. This posting is not the actual funding announcement and is meant strictly as an early heads-up so organizations can prepare for a potential solicitation in the near term. DOE is explicit that all details may change, that it is not taking questions or phone calls while the opportunity remains in NOI status, and that a formal question process will only be provided after the FOA is officially released. It also emphasizes that DOE is not accepting applications based on this notice and that DOE could ultimately issue a different FOA than described here, or decide not to issue one at all.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001031 and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity. The anticipated award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means that if awards are later made under the FOA, DOE would expect to have substantial involvement in the funded projects rather than operating as a hands-off grantor. The funding activity category is Energy, and it is associated with CFDA number 81.087 (Renewable Energy Research and Development). The eligible applicant category is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to any type of entity, although final eligibility conditions would be confirmed in the eventual FOA text and any additional eligibility language.
The notice does not provide actual funding specifics at this stage. Estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor are all shown as zero because this is only an intent notice and not a live solicitation. Likewise, the posted date and creation date are both November 5, 2013, and the archive date is November 29, 2013, reflecting that the record pertains to a historical NOI posting rather than an open application period. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated in the listing, though final cost share expectations would ultimately be governed by the terms of the FOA if and when it is released.
For follow-up and access, DOE points interested parties to the EERE Exchange site (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov), which is where EERE commonly posts and administers competitive funding announcements. If someone has trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the notice provides a contact point: Uriel Trujillo at SunShot.Incubator@ee.doe.gov. Overall, the key takeaway is that this posting is informational only: it signals DOE intent to solicit projects under a SunShot Incubator Program FOA but does not yet offer funding, accept applications, or provide a question-and-answer channel until the formal FOA is issued.
