Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001687
The Department of Energy (DOE), through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), released a Collaboration Opportunity Notice (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001687) to identify potential partners interested in teaming with NETL on proposals for the upcoming 2017 Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) solicitation. The basic idea is to connect NETL-developed, laboratory-proven technologies and technical approaches with outside organizations that can help move them closer to real-world deployment, productization, and market adoption. Rather than functioning like a typical grant competition with direct awards under this notice, it is essentially a partner-matching and market-interest outreach step intended to build strong collaborations in advance of the TCF call.
The notice is tied to DOE's broader goal of getting more value and practical impact out of federal research and development investments. The TCF, as described in the announcement, is designed to leverage prior federal RD spending in applied energy programs by funding efforts that mature promising energy technologies toward specific commercial applications. In practical terms, this means the focus is not early-stage basic research, but the next steps needed to reduce technical and commercial risk: scaling, validation, prototyping, pilot demonstrations, manufacturability improvements, integration into end-use environments, and other activities that help a technology cross the gap from the lab to the marketplace. NETL issued this collaboration notice to both publicize the upcoming TCF opportunity (as part of DOE) and to actively invite industry and other external entities to work with NETL in commercializing NETL-developed technologies.
Eligibility under the notice is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may exist in the full text of the opportunity. This typically signals NETL is willing to hear from a wide range of potential collaborators, including private companies (from startups to large firms), universities, nonprofit organizations, state and local entities, and other stakeholders that can credibly contribute to commercialization. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the Energy funding activity category, with CFDA number 81.089, which is commonly associated with DOE energy-related financial assistance and technology development programs.
In terms of submission logistics and timing, responses to this Collaboration Opportunity Notice were required to be submitted electronically as an Adobe Acrobat PDF via email to RIC-STRATEGIC-PARTNERS-RFI@NETL.DOE.GOV. The deadline was 8:00 AM Eastern Time on November 10, 2016. The posting indicates a creation date of October 13, 2016, and an original closing date of November 10, 2016, giving respondents a relatively short window to express interest and provide information that NETL could use to identify promising partnership fits ahead of the 2017 TCF solicitation.
Finally, some of the listing fields (such as an "Award Ceiling: 2" and "Expected Awards: 0") reinforce that this specific notice is not structured like a standard grant award announcement with a defined number of funded projects. Instead, it is best understood as a mechanism for NETL to gather partner interest and capabilities, position collaborative teams, and increase the likelihood that NETL technologies can be advanced through the TCF pipeline into commercially meaningful outcomes.Apply for DE FOA 0001687
