The Grid Innovation Program supports projects that use innovative approaches to transmission, storage, and distribution infrastructure to enhance grid resilience and reliability. Projects selected under this program will include interregional transmission projects, investments that accelerate interconnection of clean energy generation, and utilization of distribution grid assets to provide backup power and reduce transmission requirements. Innovative approaches can range from use of advanced technologies to innovative partnerships to the deployment of projects identified by innovative planning processes. Eligible entities include: States (individual or combined), Tribes and Territories, Local governments, Public utility commissions.

Part of the Grid Resilience Innovation Partnership (GRIP) programs, Smart Grid Grants is designed to increase the flexibility, efficiency, and reliability of the electric power system, with particular focus on:

• Increasing capacity of the transmission system
• Preventing faults that may lead to wildfires or other system disturbances
• Integrating renewable energy at the transmission and distribution levels
• Facilitating the integration of increasing electrified vehicles, buildings, and other grid-edge devices

This program is open to domestic entities including institutions of higher education; for-profit entities; non-profit entities; and state and local governmental entities, and tribal nations.

The Grid Resilience Utility and Industry Grants support the modernization of the electric grid to reduce impacts due to extreme weather and natural disasters. This program will fund comprehensive transformational transmission and distribution technology solutions that will mitigate multiple hazards across a region or within a community, including wildfires, floods, hurricanes, extreme heat, extreme cold, storms, and any other event that can cause a disruption to the power system. The program will prioritize projects generating the greatest community benefit in reducing the likelihood and consequences of disruptive events. Eligible entities that can apply for these grants include: Electric grid operators, Electricity storage operators, Electricity generators, Transmission owners or operators, Distribution providers, Fuel suppliers

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.

The DOE SC program in Nuclear Physics (NP) hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for research and development (R&D) efforts directed at artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) for autonomous optimization and control of accelerators and detectors of relevance to current or next generation NP accelerator facilities and scientific instrumentation.

DOE SC hereby invites applications for support under the ECRP in the following program areas: Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR); Basic Energy Sciences (BES); Biological and Environmental Research (BER); Fusion Energy Sciences (FES); High Energy Physics (HEP); Nuclear Physics (NP); Isotope Research and Development (R&D) and Production (DOE IP); and Accelerator R&D and Production (ARDAP). The purpose of this program is to support the development of individual research programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and to stimulate research careers in the areas supported by SC. U.S. academic institutions, National Laboratories, and SC Scientific User Facilities are eligible to submit applications under this FOA

West Gate supports innovators who have a technology concept in prototype stage at minimum that is aligned with NREL research and development areas and Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy strategic goals in the areas of advanced materials and manufacturing technologies, industrial efficiency and decarbonization, building efficiency, and solar energy production. Once selected to participate in West Gate, you will be uniquely matched to NREL and Colorado School of Mines expertise and capabilities to identify projects that will significantly de-risk your technologies in meaningful ways—leading to improved opportunities for your startup company to raise public or private funding.

Innovation Crossroads, supported by Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Manufacturing Office, and Building Technologies Office, as well as the Tennessee Valley Authority, is an innovative program that serves as a platform for supporting and mentoring entrepreneurial researchers whose early-stage innovations are presently too challenging or technically uncertain to pursue in a venture capital-financed startup. Innovation Crossroads embeds innovators at Oak Ridge National Laboratory for up to two years through entrepreneurial mentorship and cooperative research and development. Technology areas of interest: advanced manufacturing, atmospheric decarbonization, building technologies, digital economy, electrification and energy infrastructures, energy technology innovation, industrial decarbonization, intelligent systems and facilities.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) will provide $3 million during a two-year period to support four to six teams of innovators. New teams will be selected each year to receive this two-year allocation. This funding will pay for fellowships that cover salary, benefits, use of laboratory equipment and office space, and guidance from Argonne researchers.

Innovators must focus on developing technology that will advance the development of clean energy and advanced manufacturing products and processes for which development requires overcoming complex scientific challenges that require a lengthy development cycle of about two years to reach the pre-commercial prototype stage.

The Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) is advancing cutting-edge technology with research and a range of competitive opportunities to modernize the U.S. hydropower fleet and drive U.S. leadership in marine energy, with the goal of delivering low-cost, reliable power, and resiliency to the nation’s electricity grids.
