The Fund is designed to provide historically marginalized and environmental justice areas and populations in New York City with opportunities to benefit from the emerging offshore wind industry. Throughout the development of this Solicitation, Equinor has worked closely with members of the New York City Economic Development Corporation (NYCEDC) and the Sunset Park Task Force to determine priority areas that will maximize the impact of the Fund by identifying and supporting stakeholders and geographies with critical needs. This includes supporting applications that make the offshore wind industry more accessible by furthering workforce development initiatives, creating obtainable career pathways, and/or elevating local businesses’ and individuals’ participation in the industry.

The Office of Technology Transitions’ Technology Commercialization Internship is a unique paid opportunity for undergraduate STEM and business students to experience the U.S. Department of Energy’s world-class National Lab system, boost their entrepreneurial thinking, and explore energy technology markets. Interns will have the opportunity to engage with National Laboratory mentors and learn about technologies at their partnered Laboratories. This internship focuses on the business side of technology commercialization where interns will learn skills such as customer discovery, value propositions development, and market sizing. Interns will be expected to apply these skills to their assigned technologies.

Specifically, DOE’s Office of Indian Energy is soliciting applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to provide electric power to Tribal Building, which otherwise would be unelectrified, by deploying (1) integrated energy system(s) (Topic Area 1) or (2) energy infrastructure (Topic Area 2).

For purposes of this FOA, “unelectrified” means Tribal Buildings that are not connected to (1) the traditional centralized electric power grid, and not
connected to (2) an integrated energy system(s) operating independent of the traditional centralized electric power grid.

Specifically, DOE’s Office of Indian Energy is soliciting applications from Indian Tribes, which include Alaska Native Regional Corporations and Village Corporations, Intertribal Organizations, and Tribal Energy Development Organizations to:
1) Install clean energy generating systems and/or energy efficiency measures for Tribal Buildings (Topic Area 1);
2) Deploy community-scale clean energy generating systems or community energy storage on Tribal Lands (Topic Area 2);
3) Install integrated energy systems for autonomous operation (independent of the
traditional centralized electric power grid) to power a single or multiple essential Tribal Buildings during emergency situations or for tribal community resilience (Topic Area 3).

The Visiting Faculty Program (VFP), formerly called Faculty and Student Teams (FaST), is designed to provide an opportunity for faculty members from institutions historically marginalized in STEM to enhance research capabilities and strengthen STEM education and learning practices to develop talent to contribute to the Department of Energy (DOE) research areas. VFP accomplishes this mission in two tracks: (1) VFP Research Collaboration Track and (2) VFP Teaching Initiative Track.

As a component of VFP’s Research Collaboration and Teaching Initiative tracks, selected university/college faculty members collaborate with DOE laboratory research staff on a research project of mutual interest. Additionally, faculty member participants may invite up to two students (one of which may be a graduate student) to join the project in the summer terms.

The Visiting Faculty Program (VFP) is now open for applications for the 2023 Summer Term. Applications are due January 10, 2023 at 5:00 PM ET.
