Title Fiscal Year (FY) 2010 Energy Efficient Building Systems Regional Innovation Cluster Initiative Agencies United States Department of Energy (DOE) Description This joint FOA is the first pilot project of the Interagency Regional Innovation Clusters Taskforce (Taskforce). The Taskforce has been charged with developing a replicable and sustainable model for coordinated federal and regional efforts that foster and use regional innovation clusters to develop and demonstrate sustainable and efficient models for attaining national strategic objectives; create and retain Good Jobs (defined below); eliminate gaps between the supply and demand for workers in specialized fields through training and education; increase regional gross domestic product (GDP); promote innovation in science and technology; and enhance the economic, technological, and commercial competitiveness of the United States on the global stage. Due to the critical roles that basic and applied energy research play in attaining two key national strategic objectives—attaining U.S. energy security and reducing the carbon footprint of the United States—the Taskforce selected Energy Efficient Building Systems Design as the topical focus for its first pilot project. The pilot project will be anchored around a DOE-funded Energy Innovation Hub and will also incorporate elements funded by EDA, SBA, and NIST/MEP. This joint FOA invites Proposals from Consortia (defined below) that can demonstrate collaboration among their members, with their E-RIC Partners (defined below), and with federal government agencies to support the development and growth of an energy 8 of 99 regional innovation cluster. The energy regional innovation cluster within which the selected Consortium operates must possess various characteristics and is referred to herein as the E-RIC (as defined below). (Please see the diagram at the end of this Executive Summary for an example of what an E-RIC might look like and how the various participants described in this FOA might function within it.) The E-RIC must operate within a defined geographic region that includes a geographically-bounded, active network of similar, synergistic or complementary organizations engaged in or with the energy efficient building systems and design industry, with active channels for business transactions, communications, and dialogue, that share specialized infrastructure, labor markets and services. The E-RIC region may cross municipal, county, and other jurisdictional boundaries. The E-RIC must include the Hub and should encompass local universities, government research centers, and other research and development (R&D) resources, which shall serve as catalysts of innovation and drivers of regional economic growth. In addition, participants in the E-RIC may have strategic partnerships with entities outside of the geographic region. The E-RIC should leverage the region’s unique competitive strengths and seek to nurture networks for business financing, business-to-business sales, education, and workforce development. These networks should work in concert with local governments, venture capitalists, private banks, workforce investment boards, non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education (including community colleges), and other public and private agencies and institutions. The purpose of the pilot project is to support an E-RIC that will develop, expand, and commercialize innovative energy efficient building systems technologies, designs, and best practices for national and international distribution. Specifically, the Participating Agencies (defined below) seek to identify an E-RIC that will focus on systems-based approaches to designing, building, and operating commercial and residential buildings. The Consortium must demonstrate how it will link the Hub with the other Co-Applicants and with complementary federal and non-federal investments in business development and support, public infrastructure, workforce development, and education, for the purpose of growing and expanding a robust E-RIC that will achieve the goals of this FOA.

Title Cyberinfrastructure Training, Education, Advancement, and Mentoring for Our 21st Century Workforce (CI-TEAM) Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description New information, communication, and computational technologies have had profound impacts on the practice of science and engineering. Linked to create a comprehensive cyberinfrastructure, the systems, tools, and services emerging from these new technologies are enabling individuals, groups, and organizations to advance research and education in ways that revolutionize who can participate, what they can do, and how they do it. Sustaining this revolution across all areas of science and engineering requires the formation of a workforce with the knowledge and skills needed to design and deploy as well as adopt and apply these cyber-based systems, tools and services over the long-term. The opportunity for such preparation should be available at all stages of formal and informal education, training and professional development, and must be extended to all interested individuals and communities. The CI-TEAM program supports projects that position the national science and engineering community to engage in integrated research and education activities promoting, leveraging and utilizing cyberinfrastructure systems, tools and services. CI-TEAM awards will (1) prepare current and future generations of scientists, engineers, and educators to design and develop as well as adopt and deploy, cyber-based tools and environments for research and learning, both formal and informal; and (2) expand and enhance participation in cyberinfrastructure science and engineering activities of diverse groups of people and organizations, with particular emphasis on the inclusion of traditionally underrepresented individuals, institutions especially Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs), and communities as both creators and users of cyberinfrastructure. This solicitation seeks three types of project proposals, all aimed at the preparation of a diverse, cyberinfrastructure-savvy science and engineering workforce. One type of proposal, the Demonstration Project, is exploratory in nature and may be somewhat limited in scope and scale. Demonstration Projects have the potential to serve as exemplars to effective larger-scale implementation and diffusion activities in the future. The second project type, the Implementation Project, is generally larger in scope or scale and draws on prior experience with the activities or the teams proposed. The third project type, the Diffusion Project, is expected to engage broad national audiences with research results, resources, models, and/or technologies. Implementation or Diffusion Projects are expected to deliver sustainable learning and workforce development activities that complement ongoing NSF investment in cyberinfrastructure. All CI-TEAM projects seek to broaden and diversify the population of individuals and institutions participating in cyberinfrastructure activities specifically and, thereby, science and engineering more generally. Toward that goal, the three types of projects consist of collaborations with expertise in multiple disciplines and involve partnerships that support integrated research and learning among diverse organizations including, as appropriate, academic institutions of higher learning, primary and secondary schools, government, industry, professional societies, other not-for-profit organizations, and international partners. Other key features of CI-TEAM projects involve a commitment to: leveraging existing or current development efforts in cyberinfrastructure technologies; open software standards and open educational resources; the integration of research and learning; institutional partnerships; and strategic implementation, management, and evaluation plans. More Information http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2010/nsf10532/nsf10532.htm Submission Limits An organization may submit only one proposal (either a CI-TEAM Demonstration, Implementation, or Diffusion Project) as the lead organization in response to this solicitation. There is no limit to the number of proposals on which an organization may appear as a subawardee or as a non-lead organization Cost Sharing: Cost Sharing is not required under this solicitation.
