Title
Extending Industrial Assessment Centers to Underserved Areas
Agencies
United States Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
Extension IACs are intended to provide better national coverage by further expanding the geographic coverage of the IAC program to areas that are unlikely to be adequately serviced because of their distance from the 28 existing IACs. For a list and map of the 28 IACs, visit: https://iac.university. EERE has identified six geographic gaps in national coverage that have been designated as “underserved†and are listed in Section III, Eligibility Information, of this FOA. For this FOA, EERE is only interested in receiving applications from colleges physically located within one of the six underserved areas to provide IAC services in the same underserved area.
Extension IACs will provide training for undergraduate and graduate engineering students in industrial processes, energy assessment procedures, and energy management systems. This training may be provided through coursework, as well as via hands-on activities.
Applicants must describe how they intend to promote the development and national adoption of an accredited B.S. degree in energy engineering or equivalent field; or describe their plans for enhancement of an existing degree program that addresses the entire range of pedagogical content within the context of IAC activities. Eligible minority-serving institutions are encouraged to apply as Extension IACs.
In addition to the services outlined above, DOE is looking for new and innovative ways to accomplish its programmatic goals for manufacturers and encourages applicants to propose creative approaches to deliver services that coincide with AMO priorities. These priorities are projected to include:
• Smart manufacturing – identifying opportunities for productivity improvements through the availability and use of smart communications between machines, manufacturing processes, operators and management;
• Cyber security – assisting small & medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in threat detection and mitigation. According to the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP), 62 percent of data system breaches impacted smaller organizations and in 2011 the average cost to a small or medium-sized business from a cyber-attack was over $188,000;
• Energy management systems – helping SMEs to continuously improve their energy performance by exploring the entire spectrum of management systems, from foundational to ISO 50001 to Superior Energy Performance (http://energy.gov/isosep); and
• Wastewater and water facilities – supporting the efficiency and productivity of water utility facilities, including facility operations as well as the biological component of wastewater treatment.
Applicants should describe how they intend to reach non-participant SMEs in their currently underserved region. Applicants should clearly state resources to be developed and innovative methods to share industry best practices and lessons learned with the widest possible audience. Applicants are encouraged to partner with academic, government, nonprofit or industry groups to develop and deploy energy and water savings guidance and ‘how to’ resources to this hard to reach community. In addition, some means of tracking the uptake of these soft touch points should be developed.
Applicants must formally partner with one of the 28 existing Industrial Assessment Centers as a mentor IAC. Additional information on the 28 existing IACs can be found at: https://iac.university. Extension IACs should discuss the nature and extent of the proposed collaboration/partnership with the existing IAC.
The existing IACs may partner as a mentor IAC on more than one Application under this FOA.
Applicants will also define how they will maximize the student experience; increase student technical knowledge and business sense; and develop their understanding of key industrial concepts, including industrial supply chains, sustainability issues, and management systems. Students should be encouraged to develop and publish technical papers, online learning materials and assessment-derived replicable best practices and other resources. Applicants should also highlight additional value added experience opportunities for the IAC, including:
• Scholarship or internship opportunities for students;
• Traineeships with National Laboratories or other research institutions;
• Inclusion of other disciplines (e.g., business, marketing, environmental studies etc.) into training and student employee makeup;
• Inclusion of opportunities for students to pursue ISO 50001 auditor certifications or other third-party accreditations and certifications;
• Creation and maintenance of a robust student and alumni social networking system; and
• Other subject matter expert (SME) or DOE supporting functions, as developed by individual applicants.
The Applicant must be physically located in and serve clients primarily within one of the following geographic areas currently designated by the Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) as “underserved.â€
o Eastern Great Lakes – Michigan and Northern Ohio
o New York Tri-State Region – New Jersey, New York City, Long Island and Connecticut
o Delmarva – Delaware, Maryland and Virginia
o Upper New England – Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire
o Upper Midwest – Minnesota, Upper Michigan and Wisconsin, North and South Dakota
o Mountain West – New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming and Montana
More Information
https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/#FoaId746ba36e-9b68-44a4-b4fc-3b77e4df87a3
Submission Limits
EERE will only consider one Full Application per institution of higher education. For example, EERE will not consider applications from different departments or schools of engineering from the same institution. This limitation does not prohibit an entity from collaborating on other submissions to this FOA (e.g., as a proposed Subrecipient) as long as the entity is not the Prime Applicant for those submissions.
Cost Sharing:
The cost share must be at least 20% of the total allowable costs for projects (i.e., the sum of the Government share, including FFRDC costs if applicable, and the recipient share of allowable costs equals the total allowable cost of the project) and must come from non-Federal sources unless otherwise allowed by law.

OVW Fiscal Year 2017 Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking on Campus Program Solicitation
Agencies
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ)
Description
About the OVW Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence and Stalking on Campus Program
This program is authorized by 42 U.S.C. §14045b. Congress created the Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program (hereinafter referred to as the Campus Program) in recognition of the unique issues and challenges that colleges and universities face in preventing and responding to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking.
The Campus Program encourages a comprehensive coordinated community approach that enhances victim safety, provides services for victims and supports efforts to hold offenders accountable. The funding supports activities that develop and strengthen trauma informed victim services and strategies to prevent, investigate, respond to sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence and stalking. Developing campus-wide coordinated responses involving campus victim service providers, law enforcement/campus safety officers, health providers, housing officials, administrators, student leaders, faith-based leaders, representatives from student organizations, and disciplinary board members is critical. To be effective, campus responses must also link to local off-campus criminal justice agencies and service providers, including local law enforcement agencies, prosecutors’ offices, courts, and nonprofit, nongovernmental victim advocacy and victim services organizations. Campuses are encouraged to create or revitalize large-scale efforts that treat sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking as serious offenses by adopting effective, culturally relevant policies and protocols, developing victim services and advocacy programs, and implementing effective prevention approaches. Colleges and universities should demonstrate to every student that these crimes will not be tolerated, that perpetrators will face serious consequences, and that holistic services are available for victims.

Shared Instrumentation for Animal Research (SIFAR) Grant Program (S10)
Agencies
National Institutes of Health (NIH)
Description
The Shared Instrumentation for Animal Research (SIFAR) Grant Program encourages applications from groups of NIH-funded investigators to purchase or upgrade scientific instruments necessary to carry out animal experiments in all areas of biomedical research supported by the NIH. Applicants may request clusters of commercially available instruments configured as specialized integrated systems or as series of instruments to support a thematic workflow in a well-defined area of research using animals or related materials. Priority will be given to specialized clusters of instruments and to uniquely configured systems to support innovative and potentially transformative investigations. Requests for a single instrument will be considered only if the instrument is to be placed in a barrier facility. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports requests for state-of-the art commercially available technologies needed for NIH-funded research using any vertebrate and invertebrate animal species. It is expected that the use of the awarded instruments will enhance the scientific rigor of animal research and improve the reproducibility of experimental outcomes.
One item of the requested instrumentation must cost at least $50,000. No instrument in a cluster can cost less than $20,000. There is no maximum price requirement; however, the maximum award is $750,000.
More Information
http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-17-075.html
Submission Limits
Applicant organizations may submit more than one application, provided that each application is scientifically distinct. However, only one application per institution, as identified by DUNS, can be submitted to the SIFAR Program for any given due date.
The NIH will not accept duplicate or highly overlapping applications under review at the same time. This means that the NIH will not accept:
A new (A0) application that is submitted before issuance of the summary statement from the review of an overlapping new (A0) or resubmission (A1) application.
A resubmission (A1) application that is submitted before issuance of the summary statement from the review of the previous new (A0) application.
An application that has substantial overlap with another application pending appeal of initial peer review (see NOT-OD-11-101).
In general, concurrent SIFAR, SIG (PAR-17-074) and/or HEI (PAR-17-076) applications for the same instruments (or the same type of instrument with added special accessories to meet the HEI budget requirement or the same instrument which is a part of a SIFAR cluster) are not allowed. If two or more S10 (either SIFAR, SIG or HEI) applications are submitted for similar equipment from the same institution, documentation from a high level institutional official must be provided, stating that this is not an unintended duplication, but part of a campus-wide instrumentation plan.

Advanced Manufacturing Projects for Emerging Research Exploration - Topic Area 1 - Advanced Materials
Agencies
United States Department of Energy (DOE)
Description
To enhance the responsiveness of the roadmap approach, EERE is issuing Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) within its existing Offices and programs to support innovative technologies and solutions that could help meet existing goals but are not represented in a significant way in the Offices' existing Multi-Year Program Plans (MYPPs) or current portfolios. These FOAs and resulting projects will allow EERE to assess new technologies for their potential to be “on ramped†to future MYPPs, and encourage contributions from new partners. Successful projects will reduce the risk associated with potential breakthrough approaches and technologies so that they can be viable candidates for inclusion in future program roadmaps.
This funding opportunity addresses three topic areas from the Advanced Manufacturing Office. Each topic area consists of multiple subtopics. DOE intends to fund the applications with the greatest chance of helping achieve the goals and mission of EERE. EERE may award an entire application or any part of an application at a funding level that will be negotiated with the applicant. The topic areas are:
Topic Area 1: Advanced Materials. The Advanced Materials Topic Area focuses on advances in innovative materials and the devices and systems that incorporate them for energy-saving opportunities and improved functionality.
Topic Area 2: Advanced Processes. The Advanced Processes Topic Area focuses on advancing transformational next-generation processes and technologies not bound by limitations of current processes.
Topic Area 3: Modeling and Analysis Tools for Materials and Manufacturing. The Modeling and Analysis Tools for Materials and Manufacturing Topic Area focuses on optimization of energy and materials usage across the lifecycle of manufactured products through the use of information technology.
The Applicants’ technologies may be at different levels of maturity; proposed funding levels and project durations should be commensurate with the work scope necessary to advance the technology to the proposed readiness level. Applications to this FOA will be accepted in the following categories:
Tier 1 (Concept Definition, expected TRL 2-3): DOE Federal Funding Share Range of $250,000 - $1,000,000. The project would conduct early stage research needed to explore and define technical concepts. Activities would focus on thoroughly understanding and describing the capabilities of the technology. Research may include laboratory scale experiments, exploration of fundamental scientific concepts associated with the technology, data generation and analysis, and other exploratory methods.
Tier 2 (Proof of Concept, expected TRL 3-5): DOE Federal Funding Share Range of $750,000 - $2,500,000. The project would conduct research, development and testing of prototype technology or processes. Work may include analytical studies and laboratory studies to physically validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology, predictive modeling or simulation of performance, engineering studies to assess scale-up, and testing of concept feasibility at the prototype or bench scale.
Please click "FOA FAQs" under the "FOA Documents" heading below for Questions and Answers specific to this FOA.
Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: The Exchange system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Full Application submissions.

These FOAs and resulting projects will allow EERE to assess new technologies for their potential to be “on ramped†to future MYPPs, and encourage contributions from new partners. Successful projects will reduce the risk associated with potential breakthrough approaches and technologies so that they can be viable candidates for inclusion in future program roadmaps.
This funding opportunity addresses three topic areas from the Advanced Manufacturing Office. Each topic area consists of multiple subtopics. DOE intends to fund the applications with the greatest chance of helping achieve the goals and mission of EERE. EERE may award an entire application or any part of an application at a funding level that will be negotiated with the applicant. The topic areas are:
Topic Area 1: Advanced Materials. The Advanced Materials Topic Area focuses on advances in innovative materials and the devices and systems that incorporate them for energy-saving opportunities and improved functionality.
Topic Area 2: Advanced Processes. The Advanced Processes Topic Area focuses on advancing transformational next-generation processes and technologies not bound by limitations of current processes.
Topic Area 3: Modeling and Analysis Tools for Materials and Manufacturing. The Modeling and Analysis Tools for Materials and Manufacturing Topic Area focuses on optimization of energy and materials usage across the lifecycle of manufactured products through the use of information technology.
The Applicants’ technologies may be at different levels of maturity; proposed funding levels and project durations should be commensurate with the work scope necessary to advance the technology to the proposed readiness level. Applications to this FOA will be accepted in the following categories:
Tier 1 (Concept Definition, expected TRL 2-3): DOE Federal Funding Share Range of $250,000 - $1,000,000. The project would conduct early stage research needed to explore and define technical concepts. Activities would focus on thoroughly understanding and describing the capabilities of the technology. Research may include laboratory scale experiments, exploration of fundamental scientific concepts associated with the technology, data generation and analysis, and other exploratory methods.
Tier 2 (Proof of Concept, expected TRL 3-5): DOE Federal Funding Share Range of $750,000 - $2,500,000. The project would conduct research, development and testing of prototype technology or processes. Work may include analytical studies and laboratory studies to physically validate analytical predictions of separate elements of the technology, predictive modeling or simulation of performance, engineering studies to assess scale-up, and testing of concept feasibility at the prototype or bench scale.
Please click "FOA FAQs" under the "FOA Documents" heading below for Questions and Answers specific to this FOA.
Applicants that experience issues with submissions PRIOR to the FOA Deadline: The Exchange system is currently designed to enforce hard deadlines for Full Application submissions. The APPLY and SUBMIT buttons automatically disable at the defined submission deadlines. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applications. In the event that an Applicant experiences technical difficulties with a submission, the Applicant should contact the Exchange helpdesk for assistance (EERE-ExchangeSupport@hq.doe.gov).
Informational Webinar: EERE will conduct one informational webinar during the FOA process. It will be held after the initial FOA release but before the due date for the Concept Paper. Attendance is not mandatory and will not positively or negatively impact the overall review of any Applicant submissions. Standard application questions regarding the EERE Office and FOA procedures will be discussed. No new information will be presented during the webinar and EERE will not answer any attendee questions during the webinar.
The Informational Webinar mentioned in the FOA will be held on January 5, 2017 at 1:00 PM ET Eastern Standard Time. Please click or copy and paste this link in your browser for registration: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/7609726952255956994

Submission Limits
An entity may only submit one Concept Paper and one Full Application for each of
the three Topic Areas identified in Section I.B for consideration under this FOA. For
example, EERE will only consider one Concept Paper and one Full Application per
university for each of the three Topic Areas identified for this FOA (not one
submission per each college or school within the university). This limitation does
not prohibit an Applicant from collaborating on other applications (e.g., as a
potential Subrecipient or partner) so long as the entity is only listed as the Prime
Applicant on one Concept Paper and Full Application submitted per Topic Area
under this FOA.
