Department of Energy’s Recovery Act Grant for Advanced Energy Efficient Building Technologies

YOU MUST SUBMIT YOUR APPLICATION THROUGH FEDCONNECT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN

AWARD. The following paragraphs are for informational purposes ONLY. ALL
questions must be submitted through FedConnect. Application preparation
instructions, additional programmatic background information, merit review
criterion, etc. are included in the Body of the Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA) which can be located in the upper right hand corner of
the
FedConnect Home Page for this specific FOA (DE-FOA-0000115). YOU MUST
FOLLOW
THE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAINED IN THE BODY OF THE FOA TO BE CONSIDERED FOR AN
AWARD.

Projects under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will be funded,
in
whole or in part, with funds appropriated by the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009, Pub. L. 111-5, (Recovery Act or Act). The
Recovery
Act¿s purposes are to stimulate the economy and to create and retain jobs.
The
Act gives preference to activities that can be started and completed
expeditiously. Accordingly, special consideration will be given to
projects
that promote and enhance the objectives of the Act, especially job
creation,
preservation and economic recovery, in an expeditious manner.
