Department of Energy¿s missions of improving national, energy, and economic

security and of increasing the diversity of our Nation¿s energy resources.
The
WHTP works to maximize renewable energy utilization in the United States by

leading the Nation¿s research and development efforts that improve wind and

water energy generation technology and that address barriers to the use of
renewable energy. DOE does this in coordination with a broad range of
stakeholders, including other federal and state agencies, industry groups,
academia, and non-governmental organizations. Success in DOE¿s mission
will
result in greater energy security and enhanced domestic economic benefit
through more diverse, clean, reliable, affordable, and secure domestic
electricity supplies.

In order to specifically address these required elements, the Wind and
Hydropower Technologies Program has issued this funding opportunity with
three
separate Topic Areas that may be funded. The three Topic Areas are:

1. Marine and Hydrokinetic Energy Conversion Device or Component Design
and
Development
2. Marine and Hydrokinetic Site-specific Environmental Studies/Information
3. Advanced Water Power Market Acceleration Projects/Analysis and
Assessments

In addition a parallel Program Announcement (PA) directed at Department of
Energy Laboratories to address technical challenges in water power
