Title Enabling Partnerships to Increase Innovation Capacity (EPIIC) Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description The purpose of this solicitation is to broaden participation in innovation ecosystems that advance emerging technologies (e.g., advanced manufacturing, advanced wireless, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum information science, semiconductors and microelectronics) by supporting capacity-building efforts at institutions of higher education (IHEs) interested in growing external partnerships. Creation of this program is motivated by the commitment of the National Science Foundation (NSF), including the newly established NSF Directorate for Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP), to accelerating scientific and technological innovation nationwide and empowering all Americans to participate in the U.S. research and innovation enterprise. Establishing more inclusive innovation ecosystems will require broad networks of partners working together in support of use-inspired research; the translation of such research to practice or commercial application; and the development of a skilled workforce. The NSF Regional Innovation Engines (NSF Engines) program, housed within the TIP Directorate, seeks to grow inclusive innovation ecosystems around the country. Growing such ecosystems will only be successful if all interested IHEs within a region are able to participate and contribute their unique set of skills and expertise. However, NSF appreciates many Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs), Predominantly Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs), and two-year institutions lack the infrastructure and resources needed to grow external partnerships and effectively contribute to innovation ecosystems, and thus are currently unable to effectively engage with the NSF Engines program. This solicitation aims to provide MSIs, PUIs, and two-year institutions with limited or no research capacity (see Section IV for details) with the support necessary to become equitable partners with teams competing under the current and subsequent NSF Engines program funding opportunities. Importantly, participation in this solicitation is not predicated on an existing partnership with organizations submitting an NSF Engines proposal. Rather, it is expected that the capacity-building efforts funded under this solicitation will provide significant innovation partnership opportunities irrespective of future participation in an NSF Engine.

Title AMMTO-BTO and OE FY22 Multi-Topic FOA: Subtopic 1.2: Harsh Environment Materials Agencies Department of Energy (DOE) Description Harsh service environments (and the associated materials durability challenges) are common across multiple industrial applications and energy sectors. The objective of this sub-topic is foster RD&D to create new materials with improved properties in harsh operating environments. AMMTO considers harsh environments to include high temperature and/or high mechanical load, often in combination with aggressive chemical environments; also high pressure, high wear, undersea, hydrogen environments, and nuclear environments. AMMTO’s drivers for research in such harsh environment materials include both its competitiveness mission and its mission to improve Americans’ quality of life by reducing life cycle energy, resource use, and impacts. Harsh environment materials include those used in manufacturing and in other applications also of interest to AMMTO such as clean energy, heat recovery, and low-carbon process heating technologies. Such new materials also can include high temperature ceramic matrix materials for composite components (including silicon carbide) whose fabrication is enabled by polymer-based precursors for infiltration of SiC preforms. This sub-topic also seeks proposals demonstrating key applications of harsh environment materials such as integrated energy systems applied to decarbonized steel-making and refractory materials, including net zero or high-temperature hydrogen-based decarbonization.

Title AMMTO-BTO and OE FY22 Multi-Topic FOA: Subtopic 2.1: Materials Circularity Regional Demonstrations Agencies Department of Energy (DOE) Description The linear supply chain structure in which materials and products are subject to end-of-life disposed without being recycled or reused can be highly inefficient. Depending on the material class, materials circularity and efficiency can bring multiple benefits including reducing life cycle carbon emissions, diversifying supply for industry-relevant materials (such as metals, polymers, fibers and e-waste), and reducing end-of-life waste and environmental impact. As materials demand increases for products including clean energy technologies, there is value in transitioning towards a circular material economy, where these products are reused and recycled at end-of-life to maximize material efficiency, minimize life cycle energy requirements, and reduce waste overall. This also paves the way for focused regional development opportunities, increased c More Information https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/Default.aspx#FoaId2e455119-5dd2-4824-876d-f803cea5696c Submission Limits An entity may only submit one Concept Paper and one Full Application for each subtopic area of this FOA except where there are also areas of interest, in which case an entity may submit only one Concept Paper and one Full Application for each area of interest within a subtopic.

Title AMMTO-BTO and OE FY22 Multi-Topic FOA: Subtopic 1.3: AI/Machine Learning for Aerostructures Agencies Department of Energy (DOE) Description Manufacturing of large scale aerostructures for energy applications, such as wind turbine blades, is currently very costly and energy intensive. Efforts to optimize design of large complex aerostructures can be very time-consuming. Machine learning (ML) utilizes computational tools to optimize processes, perform tasks, and make decisions/predictions. ML facilitates the analysis of large and complex data sets, such as those produced during the manufacturing of high reliability and/or high value components. The application of ML has the potential to significantly increase manufacturing speed, efficiency, and productivity in the United States (U.S.) aerospace industry.
