Grant Description: ***************************************************************************** THE INTRODUCTORY DESCRIPTION OF TOPIC 2 HAS BEEN AMENDED. HOWEVER, TOPICS 2A AND 2B HAVE NOT CHANGED. PLEASE READ AMENDMENT 002 IN ITS ENTIRETY FOR FURTHER INFORMATION. ***************************************************************************** A link to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is found by scrolling to the bottom of this page. The Department of Energy (DOE) seeks to fund research that will lead to the development of cost-competitive and durable automotive, stationary, and portable fuel cell power systems. Prior to the development of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), the DOE issued two Requests for Information regarding possible topics (one for fuel cell RD D and one for early markets for hydrogen and fuel cells) and held a pre-solicitation workshop. The topics of research and development sought through this FOA will be focused on achieving technical performance and cost targets for fuel cells. Additionally, the scope of this FOA includes demonstrations of stationary polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cells and solid oxide fuel cells operating under real-world conditions. This FOA also includes market transformation activities, focusing on acquiring data from real-world fuel cell operation, eliminating non-technical barriers, and increasing opportunities for market expansion of hydrogen fuel cell technologies. A separate National Laboratory Call (DE-PS36-08GO98010), titled Laboratory Call for Research, Development, and Demonstration of Fuel Cell Technologies for Automotive, Stationary, and Portable Power Applications, offers opportunities for National Laboratories to submit applications as primary applicants. These two announcements are parallel to each other and projects will be evaluated and selected using the same criteria. This Funding Opportunity Announcement is requesting applications for hydrogen fuel cell systems in seven topic areas: Topic 1, Catalyst Studies; Topic 2, Innovative Concepts; Topic 3, Fuel Cell Degradation Studies; Topic 4, Transport within the PEM Stack; Topic 5, Portable Power; Topic 6, Fuel Cell System Demonstrations; and Topic 7, Market Transformation Activities. Applications for this FOA must be accessed, completed, and submitted through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov to be considered for award. Questions regarding the content of the announcement should be submitted through the Submit Question feature of the DOE Industry Interactive Procurement System (IIPS) at http://e-center.doe.gov. VERY IMPORTANT: To complete and submit applications through Grants.gov, there are several actions you must complete (e.g., obtain a Dun and Bradstreet Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number, register with the Central Contract Registry (CCR), install the PureEdge Viewer, register with the credential provider, and register with Grants.gov). Applicants are highly encouraged to register as soon as possible and should allow at least 21 days to complete the registration process. When done, call the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1.800.518.4726 to verify successful registration. Registration Instructions are found on the Grants.gov web site at http://www.grants.gov and in the Funding Opportunity Announcement. Should you have questions regarding the operation of Grants.gov, please contact the Grants.gov Contact Center at support@grants.gov or 1.800.518.4726. Contact Center hours of operation are Monday through Friday from 7:00am to 9:00pm Eastern Standard Time.
