The purpose of this modification is to extend the submission deadline for Full Applications to 5/23/2017, extend the expected submission deadline for Replies to Reviewer Comments to 6/30/2017, revise the expected date for EERE Selection Notification to August 2017, and revise the expected timeline for Award Negotiations to August-September 201 7. Modification No.

The purpose of this modification is to extend the submission deadline for Full Applications to 5/2/2017, extend the expected submission deadline for Replies to Reviewer Comments to 6/2/2017, revise the expected date for EERE Selection Notification to July 2017, and revise the expected timeline for Award Negotiations to July-September 201 7. To enhance the responsiveness of the roadmap approach, EERE is issuing Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) within its existing Offices and programs to support innovative technologies and solutions that could help meet existing goals but are not represented in a significant way in the Offices' existing Multi-Year Program Plans (MYPPs) or current portfolios.
These FOAs and resulting projects will allow EERE to assess new technologies for their potential to be “on ramped” to future MYPPs, and encourage contributions from new partners.
Successful projects will reduce the risk associated with potential breakthrough approaches and technologies so that they can be viable candidates for inclusion in future program roadmaps.
This funding opportunity addresses three topic areas from the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO).
Each topic area consists of multiple subtopics.
DOE intends to fund the applications with the greatest chance of helping achieve the goals and mission of EERE.
EERE may award an entire application or any part of an application at a funding level that will be negotiated with the applicant.
The topic areas are:
Topic Area 1:
Advanced Materials.
The Advanced Materials Topic Area focuses on advances in innovative materials and the devices and systems that incorporate them for energy-saving opportunities and improved functionality.
Topic Area 2:
Advanced Processes.
The Advanced Processes Topic Area focuses on advancing transformational next-generation processes and technologies not bound by limitations of current processes.
Topic Area 3:
Modeling and Analysis Tools for Materials and Manufacturing.
The Modeling and Analysis Tools for Materials and Manufacturing Topic Area focuses on optimization of energy and materials usage across the lifecycle of manufactured products through the use of information technology.
The Applicants’ technologies may be at different levels of maturity; proposed funding levels and project durations should be commensurate with the work scope necessary to advance the technology to the proposed readiness level.
Applications to this FOA will be accepted in the following categories:
Tier 1 (Concept Definition, expected TRL 2-3):
DOE Federal Funding Share Range of $250,000 - $1,000,00 0. The project would conduct early stage research needed to explore and define technical concepts.
Activities would focus on thoroughly understanding and describing the capabilities of the technology.
Research may include laboratory scale experiments, exploration of fundamental scientific concepts associated with the technology, data generation and analysis, and other exploratory methods.
Tier 2 (Proof of Concept, expected TRL 3-5):
DOE Federal Funding Share Range of $750,000 - $2,500,00 0. The project would conduct research, development and testing of prototype technology or processes.
Work may include analytical studies and laboratory studies to physically validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology, predictive modeling or simulation of performance, engineering studies to assess scale-up, and testing of concept feasibility at the prototype or bench scale.
EERE will conduct one informational webinar during the FOA process.
It will be held after the initial FOA release but before the due date for the Concept Paper.
Attendance is not mandatory and will not positively or negatively impact the overall review of any Applicant submissions.
Standard application questions regarding the EERE Office and FOA procedures will be discussed.
No new information will be presented during the webinar and EERE will not answer any attendee questions during the webinar.
Informational Webinar:
The Informational Webinar mentioned in the FOA will be held on January 5, 2017 at 1:00 PM ET Eastern Standard Time.
