Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002502
The Department of Energy (DOE), through the Vehicle Technologies Office (VTO) in the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Request for Information on Risks in the High Capacity Batteries, including Electric Vehicle Batteries Supply Chain" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0002502). This notice is not a traditional grant or competitive funding program. Instead, it is a public comment process meant to gather information, data, and perspectives from industry, academia, nonprofits, government entities, and other stakeholders on vulnerabilities and risks across the high-capacity battery supply chain, with a strong emphasis on electric vehicle (EV) batteries.
The main purpose of the RFI is to support a federal supply chain review directed by President Biden's February 24, 2021 Executive Order on America's supply chains. That Executive Order instructed multiple federal agencies to take actions aimed at securing and strengthening critical supply chains in the United States. As part of that effort, the Secretary of Energy was directed to produce, within 100 days and in consultation with other agencies, a report to the President that identifies key risks in the high-capacity battery supply chain (including EV batteries) and provides policy recommendations to address and reduce those risks. In practical terms, DOE is using this RFI to collect input that can inform the content, priorities, and recommendations of that report.
Because this is an RFI rather than a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), there are no awards expected, no application packages to submit, and no funding available through this notice. The listing includes fields like "award ceiling" and "expected awards," but the text makes clear that DOE is not accepting applications and is only soliciting information. The opportunity is categorized under discretionary activities and the energy funding activity area, with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 81.086, and it is described as open to unrestricted eligible applicants, meaning any type of entity may provide input unless otherwise limited by the RFI instructions.
Anyone choosing to respond needed to submit their comments electronically via email to VTO@ee.doe.gov by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on April 14, 2021. The notice was created on March 26, 2021, and the original closing date aligns with the April 14, 2021 deadline. The administering agency is listed as the Department of Energy, National Energy Technology Laboratory, while the program office leading the request is VTO within EERE. Overall, the RFI functioned as a mechanism for DOE to quickly collect actionable, real-world insight on supply chain weaknesses and potential solutions related to critical battery technologies and materials, in order to shape near-term federal policy recommendations and longer-term supply chain resilience planning.Apply for DE FOA 0002502
