Opportunity Summary:
This notice (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001346) is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Headquarters through the Office of Technology Transitions. It is not a grant competition and it does not provide funding. Instead, DOE is asking stakeholders in the public and private sectors to submit feedback on ways to increase the real-world, commercial impact of DOE-funded activities across the full spectrum of Research, Development, Demonstration, and Deployment (often referred to as RDD and D). In practical terms, DOE is looking for ideas, perspectives, and recommendations that could help DOE move technologies and innovations more effectively from the lab or pilot stage into markets and widespread use.
Because this is an RFI rather than a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DOE is not accepting applications, proposals, or requests for award under this posting. The listing shows expected awards as zero and total estimated funding as zero, which reinforces that there are no grants being made under this announcement. DOE notes that it may issue a future FOA based on what it learns from the responses to this RFI, meaning the feedback could help shape later funding programs, priorities, and program design.
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and associated with science and technology and other research and development activities. The CFDA number provided is 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program). The eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning any type of organization or individual can generally respond, subject to any clarifications in the full text. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement because the RFI does not award funds.
Responses were required to be submitted by email as an attachment. The deadline for submitting feedback was June 10, 2015. Submissions were to be sent to the Office of Technology Transitions email address, with the subject line "Response to RFI". Two versions of the submission email address appear in the posting (one with spaces and one without), but the intent is clear: email the Office of Technology Transitions at DOE Headquarters with the specified subject line by the stated closing date.
DOE also includes a standard caution for RFIs: respondents should not include business-sensitive, proprietary, or confidential information. That language is meant to protect both the respondent and the government, since RFI responses may be used to inform public planning, program design, and acquisition or assistance strategies.
For those who needed help accessing the announcement documents, the notice provides a point of contact: Contract Specialist Shileta J. Johnson, with a phone number (202-586-4311) and email (shileta.johnson@hq.doe.gov). The posting also includes an additional information link hosted on FedConnect, where the full announcement and related documents would typically be available. The opportunity was posted May 6, 2015, and later archived September 9, 2015, indicating it is no longer active and is provided for historical reference.
