Opportunity Summary:
This posting is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), issued on behalf of DOE's Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO), to signal that a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is planned. The planned FOA is identified as DE-FOA-0000988 and is titled "Vehicle Technologies Incubator." The NOI itself is not a funding solicitation and it is not a mechanism for submitting proposals, concept papers, or any other application materials. It is essentially an early heads-up so that organizations that may want to compete later can start preparing.
A key point is that applications will not be accepted under this NOI. The notice also asks readers not to submit questions or otherwise respond to the NOI. Instead, interested parties are encouraged to use the lead time to begin building the elements that tend to take the longest in competitive federal energy R&D funding rounds: forming partnerships and teams (for example, between small businesses and universities), refining technical ideas that align with vehicle technology goals, and gathering the data needed to support a credible technical approach and project plan. DOE indicated the full FOA was expected to be posted on the EERE Exchange platform around December 2013 to January 2014, which is where the actual solicitation, requirements, and submission instructions would appear.
From an administrative and program classification perspective, the NOI is listed under Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001044 (the notice record) and is categorized as discretionary funding, with the anticipated award instrument type stated as a cooperative agreement. Cooperative agreements typically involve substantial federal involvement during the project compared to a standard grant, so prospective applicants generally should anticipate active engagement with DOE on milestones, reporting, and technical direction if selected under the eventual FOA. The activity category is Energy, and the CFDA listing provided is 81.086, Conservation Research and Development, which is commonly used for EERE research and development opportunities related to energy efficiency and conservation technologies. The notice indicates that cost sharing or matching would be required, which is a common feature of EERE funding where recipients contribute a portion of total project costs from non-federal sources; the precise percentage and what qualifies as allowable cost share would be defined in the actual FOA.
The eligible applicant types highlighted in the notice are small businesses and public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. That suggests DOE expected participation from technology developers and academic partners, consistent with an "incubator" style program that often aims to accelerate promising innovations toward commercialization or deployment. The posting lists the agency name as the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), which frequently supports DOE program offices with contracting and agreement administration even when the technical program is led by another DOE office such as EERE/VTO.
Because this is only a notice, the funding fields show no money attached at this stage (estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor are all listed as 0). That does not necessarily indicate the future FOA would have no funding; it simply reflects that the NOI is not itself a funding opportunity with awards. Dates in the record show it was posted November 18, 2013, created December 16, 2013, and archived February 18, 2014, reinforcing that it served as time-limited advance communication prior to the release of the actual FOA.
For access issues, the notice provides a point of contact: Jacqulyn M. Wilson, Contract Specialist, at 304-285-4135 and jacqulyn.wilson@netl.doe.gov, and it directs questions to that email address. Even though the text of the NOI says not to submit questions about the notice itself, the contact information is included for practical reasons, particularly to help with electronic access to the full announcement materials when available. The primary source location referenced for the forthcoming FOA is EERE Exchange (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov), which is DOE EERE's standard portal for posting FOAs and receiving applications.
