The Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education (ORISE) Science and Technology Policy Fellowship offers candidates an opportunity to learn about the federal government and its role in advancing renewable energy with the Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) in Washington, D.C. Participants will use their expertise to support solar energy research and development by guiding strategy, designing funding programs, and managing SETO-funded projects in the following areas:

• Photovoltaic technologies
• Concentrating solar-thermal power technologies
• Grid systems integration technologies
• Behavioral science, strategic analysis, and technical assistance
• Manufacturing and technology transfer
• Environmental justice and finance
• Communication and stakeholder engagement

The Milkywire Climate Transformation Fund (CTF), launched in 2021, is a charitable fund that supports pioneering projects needed to reach global net zero. Our ambition is guided by an impact-first approach, meaning we are searching for solutions with the greatest potential long-term impact that actually reduce CO₂ emissions rather than focus on carbon compensation claims.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has published a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for $1.5 billion in grant funding through the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) discretionary grant program for 2023. The popular program helps communities around the country carry out projects with significant local or regional impact. RAISE discretionary grants help project sponsors at the State and local levels, including municipalities, Tribal governments, counties, and others complete critical freight and passenger transportation infrastructure projects.

‍The Edge Prize is your opportunity to share what works, big or small, and find the others who want to join you, fund you, learn from you, or replicate your efforts locally. This is not a business plan competition. This is not a “pitch” competition. It’s not really a contest at all! This is about sharing what you’re already doing, why it’s working, and why it gives you hope.

We want to hear from anyone in Salmon Nation (California, Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Yukon, or Alaska) working on something that has a positive impact in your community. With additional resources and a supportive network, you know this solution could benefit more communities all over the bioregion and beyond.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Technology Transitions (OTT) is seeking white papers from prospective Partnership Intermediaries for the Partnership Intermediary Pilot. Through this Pilot, DOE is seeking to broaden the Department’s engagement with new organizations, increase cooperative or joint activities between DOE and small business firms, institutions of higher education, educational institutions, and non-traditional contractors and rapidly develop, scale, commercialize, and deploy technologies relevant to DOE’s mission.

A partnership intermediary (PI) is a state or local government or a nonprofit entity that is owned, funded, chartered, or operated in whole or in part by a state or local government.

Potential PI activities include facilitating and/or managing innovation hubs and/or public-private partnerships; performing technology and market research and scouting; acting as an independent facilitator between DOE programs and projects, DOE National Labs, and external solution providers; and facilitating rapid prototyping, demonstration, deployment, and/or manufacturing, in furtherance of DOE’s mission.

White papers are due January 3, 2023.
