Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002818
This opportunity is a Notice of Intent (NOI) from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), specifically the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), issued on behalf of DOE's Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO). The NOI signals that DOE plans to release a forthcoming Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled "Marine Energy Systems Innovation at Sea." In practical terms, this is not the full solicitation yet; it is an advance heads-up to organizations that DOE expects to open a competitive funding opportunity in the near term focused on marine energy technology testing and innovation in real ocean or marine operating conditions.
Because it is only a notice of intent, the document is explicitly preliminary and subject to change. The agency notes that details may be revised before the official FOA is published, and DOE will not respond to questions about the NOI itself. Instead, once the FOA is formally released, DOE will provide an official process for submitting questions, which is typical for EERE funding rounds (often via a Q and A period and formal responses or amendments posted through the Exchange portal).
The sponsoring agency is listed as the Department of Energy, Golden Field Office, and the activity aligns with DOE's energy mission area. The funding activity category is Energy, and the assistance listing (CFDA) number associated with this program is 81.087, which generally corresponds to DOE EERE financial assistance programs. The opportunity category is discretionary, and the funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which can indicate a non-standard award structure or that the final instrument (grant, cooperative agreement, etc.) will be clarified in the full FOA.
Eligibility is described as "Unrestricted," meaning it is open to any type of entity, with the caveat that the final FOA may include clarifications or additional requirements in a dedicated eligibility section. In other words, companies, universities, nonprofits, national labs, state and local governments, and other organizations should assume they may be eligible to apply unless the forthcoming FOA narrows that scope or imposes specific teaming or cost-share rules.
The record includes administrative fields that are common for an NOI but do not yet describe actual award amounts. The award ceiling and expected number of awards are both shown as 0, which is consistent with an intent notice rather than an active funding announcement where DOE has defined a budget, number of selections, and maximum award size. The posting shows a creation date of August 11, 2022, and an "original closing date" of January 19, 2023; however, since this is an NOI and the content emphasizes that the real details will come with the FOA, those dates should be treated as placeholders or timing markers rather than definitive application deadlines for an active solicitation.
The best source for the authoritative and complete information is DOE's EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/), which is where EERE publishes its FOAs, amendments, Q and A responses, and submission instructions. Anyone interested in this topic would typically monitor EERE Exchange for the final FOA release, then review it closely for topic areas, required deliverables, test site or "at-sea" expectations, technical readiness requirements, cost share provisions, period of performance, and submission package requirements.Apply for DE FOA 0002818
