Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001410
This opportunity (DE-FOA-0001410) is not an active grant competition, but a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), specifically through the Building Technologies Office (BTO) within the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE). The main goal is to help DOE assemble and publish a "Teaming Partner List" in advance of an anticipated Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) called Buildings Energy Efficiency Frontiers and Innovation Technologies (BENEFIT) 2016. In plain terms, DOE is trying to make it easier for companies, universities, labs, and other organizations to find one another and form strong, multi-organization project teams before the actual funding solicitation opens.
The RFI is built around DOE's push for interdisciplinary and cross-sector collaboration in building energy efficiency research and technology development. DOE highlights that bringing together scientists and engineers from different disciplines and technology sectors, and from different types of institutions, can speed up progress and unlock outcomes that are hard to achieve within a single organization or field. Because of that, the agency is using this RFI process to collect information from potential teaming partners and stakeholders, then share that information publicly (via the Teaming Partner List) to support matchmaking and consortium building for the upcoming BENEFIT FOA.
A key point is that DOE is not accepting applications for funding under this notice. There is no award being made under DE-FOA-0001410, and the listing information is intended to support future proposal formation rather than to evaluate or select projects now. The notice explicitly states it is not a FOA; it is a pre-solicitation engagement tool. The expected awards count is listed as 0, reinforcing that this is informational and preparatory, not a funding decision point.
The Teaming Partner List itself is planned to be posted as an attachment on EERE Exchange (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov). DOE notes that the list will later be moved over to the eventual BENEFIT FOA record when it becomes available, identified here as FOA DE-FOA-0001383. DOE also indicates the list will be updated periodically until the close of the Full Application period for that later FOA, meaning organizations can potentially continue to add or refresh their information over time, up to the full application deadline for the actual funding opportunity.
For participation, stakeholders are instructed to submit their RFI responses electronically by email to BENEFITFOATeamingRFI@ee.doe.gov. DOE recommends submitting by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on December 15, 2015 (the original closing date shown), but also states responses may be accepted up to the Full Application deadline for FOA DE-FOA-0001383. Eligibility is described as "Unrestricted," which generally signals that DOE is open to receiving teaming-interest information from any type of organization rather than limiting it to a narrow applicant class at this stage.
Administrative details provided in the source data include the opportunity category (discretionary), activity category (energy), CFDA number (81.086), and the issuing/handling office (Golden Field Office). An award ceiling figure of 2 is listed in the dataset, but since this is an RFI with no awards expected, that number is not meaningful in the same way it would be for a true funding announcement. The practical takeaway is that the RFI is about gathering input and building a public roster of potential collaborators, not about distributing funds.
Overall, DE-FOA-0001410 is best read as a networking and market-sounding step DOE took before releasing a competitive buildings energy efficiency FOA. If an organization wanted to position itself for the upcoming BENEFIT solicitation, the action under this notice would be to submit partnering information and potentially feedback, monitor EERE Exchange for the evolving Teaming Partner List, and use it to connect with complementary technical, commercialization, or deployment partners ahead of the eventual FOA (DE-FOA-0001383).Apply for DE FOA 0001410
