Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000980), posted by the U.S. Department of Energy through the Golden Field Office and listed under CFDA 81.086 (Conservation Research and Development), is a Request for Information (RFI) focused on fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite manufacturing. It is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), meaning DOE is not soliciting grant applications, will not make awards under this notice, and lists no available funding (estimated total funding $0; award ceiling/floor $0; no cost share requirement). Instead, DOE's Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) is gathering input to help shape understanding of manufacturing needs and barriers in this space.
The RFI specifically seeks feedback from a broad set of stakeholders, including industry, universities, national and private research labs, government agencies, and others, on manufacturing issues for both continuous and discontinuous carbon fiber and glass fiber composites. It also covers both thermoset and thermoplastic matrix materials. The intent is to identify cross-cutting manufacturing challenges that, if solved, could lower life-cycle energy use and greenhouse gas emissions, accelerate adoption of clean energy systems that rely on lightweight or high-performance composites, and strengthen U.S. manufacturing competitiveness.
Submissions are open to essentially any type of entity (unrestricted eligibility, subject to any clarifications in the full text). Responses must be submitted electronically by email to FRCManufacturing@go.doe.gov with the subject line "Response to RFI." The submission format is constrained: an attached Microsoft Word document (.doc or .docx), no more than 8 pages, using 12-point font and 1-inch margins. The deadline was extended; while the original closing date was September 26, 2013, the updated deadline is October 1, 2013 (the notice also references a 5:00 pm EDT timing associated with the original date). The full announcement and any additional details are hosted on the EERE Exchange website, and the same email address is provided for help accessing the materials.
