Webinar for Marine Energy Foundational Research and Testing Infrastructure Funding

On March 31, 2020, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Water Power Technologies Office released a $22 million funding opportunity announcement (FOA) to leverage the expertise and intellectual capital of non-federal research institutions by supporting foundational research and development and expanded testing capacity to advance the marine energy industry.

The FOA titled, “Marine Energy Foundational Research and Testing Infrastructure,” presents an opportunity to continue building marine energy research capabilities at U.S. non-federal research institutions and leverage their expertise to help the developing marine energy industry tackle complex scientific and technical problems. 

A prerecorded informational webinar will be available on EERE Exchange for viewing on April 15 after 3 p.m. ET to provide information on the FOA to potential applicants.

In addition to describing the FOA in detail, information will be provided on who is eligible to apply, what an application needs to include, cost share and other requirements, how to ask questions, and how applications will be selected for funding. Participation in the webinar is voluntary, and participating in or viewing the webinar provides no advantages or disadvantages with respect to the application evaluation process.
