Eligibility

No special eligibility requirements.

Limited Submission Guidelines

An entity may only submit one Concept Paper and one Full Application for consideration under this FOA. For example, EERE will only consider one Concept Paper and one Full Application per university for this FOA (not one submission per each college or school under the university).

Award Information

$70,000,000 for one award for five years. EERE will established up to 5 budget periods for the awards, however, only funding for Budget Period 1 will be authorized initially. Budget Period 1 will have a duration of approximately 12 months of the overall project period. A total of up to $14,000,000 in federal funds is anticipated to be available for the award for each budget period, however early budget periods, especially Budget Period 1, are anticipated to be funded at lower than $14,000,000 with funding allocations increasing as project activities increase.

Cost Share: The cost share must be at least 20% of the total allowable costs for research and development projects (i.e., the sum of the Government share, including FFRDC costs if applicable, and the recipient share of allowable costs equals the total allowable cost of the project) and must come from non-federal sources unless otherwise allowed by law.
