Agency Name: Golden Field Office
Description: The mission of the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Program (SETP) is to accelerate the widespread adoption of solar electric technologies across the United States (U.S.) through a program of applied research and development (R&D), demonstration, and market transformation activities. This mission aims to diversify the Nations electricity supply options, increase national security, and improve the environment.

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) will enable DOE to launch a PV Manufacturing Initiative that will support accelerated development for the U.S. PV industry. There are two separate topics: (1) University-Focused: designed to allow Universities to conduct industry-relevant research and development projects related to PV manufacturing; and (2) Industry-Focused: designed to allow Industry to accelerate the development and implementation of PV manufacturing-related technologies through both collaborative and non-collaborative models.

There are two submission phases: 1) Submission of the Concept Paper Application for DOE feedback (FOA No. DE-FOA-0000237) and 2) Submission of the Full Application (FOA No. DE-FOA-0000259). See Section IV of the Announcement entitled Application and Submission Information, for further details. Note that Applicants must have submitted a Concept Paper Application by the required due date, passed the Concept Paper Application initial compliance review, and received DOE feedback to be eligible to submit a Full Application. Once the Concept Paper Application FOA closes and DOE has provided feedback on the initial Concept Paper Application, a separate FOA requesting the Full Applications will be provided at www.grants.gov.

IMPORTANT: A Webinar is scheduled for April 29, 2010. Please see Appendix H of the Announcement for further details. Questions must be received in FedConnect by Friday, April 23, 2010, at 6:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time to be included in the Webinar.

There are two submission phases: 1) Submission of the Concept Paper Application for DOE feedback (FOA No. DE-FOA-0000237) and 2) Submission of the Full Application (FOA No. DE-FOA-0000259). See Section IV of the Announcement entitled Application and Submission Information, for further details. Note that Applicants must have submitted a Concept Paper Application by the required due date, passed the Concept Paper Application initial compliance review, and received DOE feedback to be eligible to submit a Full Application. Once the Concept Paper Application FOA closes and DOE has provided feedback on the initial Concept Paper Application, a separate FOA requesting the Full Applications will be provided at www.grants.gov.

IMPORTANT: A Webinar is scheduled for April 29, 2010. Please see Appendix H of the Announcement for further details. Questions must be received in FedConnect by Friday, April 23, 2010, at 6:00 PM Mountain Daylight Time to be included in the Webinar. The questions and the respective answers will be provided during the Webinar. See Section VII of the Announcement on how to submit questions in FedConnect.
