In early to mid-February, 2013,
the Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy (ARPA-E) intends to issue a new
Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) entitled “Robust Affordable Next
Generation EV Storage” (RANGE), DE-FOA-0000869. The objective of the RANGE FOA
will be to identify transformational concepts for low-cost, robust storage
systems for electric vehicles. Two specific areas of interest are: (1) robust
designs of energy storage chemistries and architectures; and (2)
multifunctional designs based on robust storage systems.
ARPA-E strongly encourages
outstanding scientists and engineers from different organizations, scientific
disciplines, and technology sectors to form new project teams.
Interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration spanning organizational
boundaries enables and accelerates the achievement of scientific and
technological outcomes that were previously viewed as extremely difficult, if
not impossible.
ARPA-E is issuing this
Announcement to facilitate the formation of new project teams. Specifically,
ARPA-E intends to publish a list of potential teaming partners for the RANGE
FOA on ARPA-E eXCHANGE (http://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov), ARPA-E’s online application portal, in
early to mid-February, 2013.
Any organization that would like
to be included in this list should complete all required fields in the
following link: https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov/Applicantprofile.aspx. Required information includes: Organization Name, Contact Name, Contact
Address, Contact Email, Contact Phone, Organization Type, Focus Area, and Brief
Description of Capabilities. ARPA-E is particularly interested in receiving
responses from organizations with expertise in the following Focus Areas: computational
and experimental approaches to novel robust energy storage materials and reactions,
fabrication and manufacturing of energy storage systems, multifunctional material,
device, and system designs, energy absorption materials and architectures, electric
vehicle subsystem and system designs, energy storage system robustness, electric
vehicle robustness, thermal and mechanical engineering, system integrators,
high temperature electronics, aerospace engineering and composite materials
systems.
By submitting a response to this
Announcement, you consent to the publication of the above-referenced
information. The Federal Government will not pay for the provision of any
information, nor will it compensate any respondents for the development of such
information. Responses submitted to other email addresses or by other means
