Title Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Conversion and Environmental Monitoring Technology Advancement - Topic Area 1 Agencies United States Department of Energy (DOE) Description Topic Area 1: Advanced Technology Integration and Demonstration The overall goal of Topic Area 1 (TA 1) is to help wave and current energy (i.e. tidal, ocean, and river current) electricity generation systems achieve a Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) target of 15 c/kWh by 2030. One of the primary reasons that the LCOE of today’s systems is higher than this target is because MHK developers have, out of necessity, been forced to use hardware and software technologies that were not optimized for extended use in the harsh marine environment. In this regard, DOE believes that substantial MHK system performance gains can be realized through the integration of technologies that are designed specifically for MHK applications. Accordingly, the objective of TA 1 awards is to support projects that show potential to significantly improve LCOE and Annual Energy Production (AEP) through the integration of advanced technologies into existing MHK system designs, with the goal of demonstrating the full potential of today’s most promising MHK systems. At the completion of successful TA 1 projects, awardees will have: a. Integrated an MHK hardware and/or software technology into an optimized electricity generation system design b. Fabricated a full-scale system prototype c. Installed and demonstrated the system during a 1-year open water testing campaign d. Demonstrated credible improvements in AEP and LCOE Achieving these goals will advance MHK technologies towards commercial viability, thus leading to increased investor, public, and regulatory confidence in the potential of the MHK industry. More Information https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/#FoaIdfb505ad6-19d6-42e7-8d46-5be0fd9f9a14 Submission Limits Applicants may submit one Concept Paper and one Full Application for consideration under TA 1. If an applicant submits more than one Concept Paper or Full Application, EERE will only consider the last timely submission for evaluation.

Title Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Conversion and Environmental Monitoring Technology Advancement - Topic Area 2 Agencies United States Department of Energy (DOE) Description Topic Area 2: Innovation, Testing, and Validation of MHK Environmental Monitoring Instrumentation Performance The overarching objective of Topic Area 2 (TA 2) is to develop instrumentation that will facilitate data collection as a means to reduce environmental risk for MHK developers, ultimately reducing time and costs of environmental monitoring for future projects. Specifically, TA 2 will support the innovative improvement, testing, and validation of monitoring technologies and the associated data-processing software needed to produce fit-for-purpose, cost effective environmental monitoring tools ready for use by the MHK-community. Building upon previous support for instrumentation development, this Topic Area is meant to provide the final innovation, testing and validation needed to deliver reliable and cost-effective instrumentation that are ready for use at MHK projects. Uncertainty surrounding the environmental impacts of MHK devices has resulted in long and costly permitting processes and onerous baseline and post-installation monitoring requirements. Meeting these monitoring requirements can be difficult as many existing environmental monitoring technologies have not been tested in, tailored to, or validated for use in the extreme, high-energy, and often low-visibility conditions of MHK sites. An additional challenge for most instrumentation types is the processing and analysis of the large data streams collected during environmental monitoring. Previous research and development has made important strides towards addressing these hurdles, yet technical challenges persist and the costs associated with data collection and analysis are still prohibitive. TA 2 is designed to produce cost-effective, advanced-technology readiness level (TRL) tools and technologies with demonstrated ability to accurately monitor potential environmental impacts of high regulatory concern in harsh MHK environments. Environmental concerns to be addressed include, but are not limited to: acoustic outputs of MHK devices; electromagnetic fields created by MHK devices, subsea cables and associated equipment; and the interactions between MHK devices and marine animals. Over the course of the projects, awardees are expected to demonstrate (1) achievement of technical performance targets for hardware and software and (2) overall cost reductions for data collection and processing when compared with an instrument’s initial performance and, where applicable, with current commercial off-the-shelf monitoring technologies. More Information http://www.grants.gov/view-opportunity.html?oppId=281963 Submission Limits Topic Area 2 Applicants may submit multiple concept papers and full applications. Each application must cover a significantly distinct technology. Each Concept Paper and Full Application must address no more than one of the four focus areas identified in Section I.B of this FOA.

Title Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) - Lead - Design and Development Launch Pilot proposal Agencies National Science Foundation (NSF) Description Inclusion across the Nation of Communities of Learners of Underrepresented Discoverers in Engineering and Science (NSF INCLUDES) is a comprehensive national initiative designed to enhance U.S. leadership in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) discoveries and innovations focused on NSF's commitment to diversity, inclusion, and broadening participation in these fields. NSF INCLUDES supports efforts to develop talent from all sectors of society to build the STEM workforce. The initiative aims to improve the preparation, increase the participation, and ensure the contributions of individuals from groups that have traditionally been underrepresented and underserved in the STEM enterprise, including women, members of racial and ethnic groups, persons with disabilities, and persons with low socio-economic status. Significant advancement of these groups will result in a new generation of promising STEM talent and leadership to secure our nation's future in science and technology. The grand challenge of broadening participation in STEM is to transform the STEM enterprise at all levels in order to fully engage the nation's talent for the ultimate improvement of the STEM enterprise. As a comprehensive national initiative, NSF INCLUDES aims to address the various complex equity and inclusion-related challenges and opportunities that characterize the nation's cultural and linguistic diversity, with a specific emphasis on the aforementioned groups. The goal is to achieve national level impact and progress toward STEM inclusion. Viewing this challenge as a social innovation problem, NSF is particularly interested in using approaches to scaling and growth such as collective impact, networked communities and strategic partnerships. The objective is to develop networks that involve representative organizations and consortia from different sectors that are committed to a common agenda to solve a specific STEM inclusion problem at scale. The long-term goal of NSF INCLUDES is to support, over the next ten years, innovative models, networks, partnerships, and research that enable the U.S. science and engineering workforce to thrive by ensuring that women, blacks, Hispanics, and people with disabilities are represented in percentages comparable to their representation in the U.S. population. In FY 2016, NSF seeks proposals for Design and Development Launch Pilots to catalyze the formation of NSF INCLUDES Alliances.
