The U.S.
Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy
(EERE) is an organization focused on achieving aggressive and well-defined
mid-to-long term clean energy goals for the United States of America. In that
context, EERE has established multi-year plans and roadmaps. EERE focuses the
majority of its resources on a limited number of "highest probability of
success" pathways/approaches to ensure that the program initiatives are
supported at a critical mass (both in terms of dollars and time) for maximum
impact.
This
roadmap-based approach is one of EERE's greatest strengths, which can create
challenges in recognizing and exploring unanticipated, game changing
pathways/approaches which may ultimately be superior to the pathways/approaches
on our existing roadmaps.
To
enhance the responsiveness of the roadmap approach, EERE is issuing
"Incubator" 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.
The Incubator programs will allow EERE to assess new technologies for their
potential to be “on ramped” to future MYPPs. Successful incubator projects will
reduce the risk associated with potentially breakthrough approaches and
technologies so that they could be viable candidates for inclusion in future
program roadmaps.
The
eXCHANGE system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Full
Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at
the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to
consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applicants.
