The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) intends to fund research proposals aimed at improving long-term nuclear energy viability, advanced reactor pipeline, and supply chain infrastructure. The main areas of focus are University-led R&D Projects, National Laboratory or Industry-led R&D Projects and Nuclear Science User Facilities Access Projects.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) is accepting applications to support nuclear energy R&D and infrastructure support activities for advanced reactors. The broad areas of focus are University Research Reactor Upgrades Infrastructure Support and General Scientific Infrastructure (GSI) Support for Universities.
The Mentor Capital Network supports entrepreneurs starting or growing for-profit companies that create positive social, environmental, and/or cultural value. Successful applicants receive constructive feedback on their business plans and ongoing relationships with mentors. Some of these relationships lead to investment, but this is not the primary goal of the program.
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is planning to fund proposals for operational solutions to reduce compliance costs and improve the environmental performance of wind turbines. The three focus areas are advancing smart curtailment strategies, advanced component R&D, and development of offshore wind monitoring and mitigation technologies.
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Geothermal Technologies Office (GTO) is accepting funding proposals for subsurface characterization and operational improvements in geothermal technology. The research areas are machine learning for geothermal exploration and advanced analytics for efficiency and automation in geothermal operations.
The Agriculture and Food Research Initiative (AFRI) is providing competitive grants for promoting natural resources and emerging production systems for biomass feedstocks. The target areas include the following: sustainable agroecosystems, bio-based product feedstock logistics, agricultural microbiomes in plant systems, data sharing and others.
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is inviting applications for its innovations at the nexus of food, energy and water systems (INFEWS) program to catalyze the understanding of synergy among the food, energy and water systems. The major goal of the research is to improve system function and management, address system stress, increase resilience, and ensure sustainability.
