Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001767
The U.S. Offshore Wind Research and Development Consortium Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), DE-FOA-0001767, is a Department of Energy (DOE) competitive funding opportunity run through the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO) and administered by the DOE Golden Field Office. The main purpose is to fund one organization to serve as the administrator that will establish, organize, and lead a voluntary national consortium for offshore wind research and development (R&D) in the United States. The consortium model is meant to bring together industry, academia, government, and other stakeholders around shared priorities, with members jointly investing public and private funds into collaborative R&D intended to deliver technology improvements that specifically address U.S. offshore wind needs.
At the center of the FOA is the idea that offshore wind in the U.S. faces technical challenges that are not fully solved by existing global offshore wind experience. Rather than funding isolated projects, DOE is using this award to create a coordinated structure where multiple partners can align on common problems, pool resources, and pursue mutually beneficial R&D. The administrator selected under this FOA would be responsible for launching the consortium, recruiting and managing membership, creating a governance framework, setting and maintaining a technical R&D agenda, and ensuring that projects are selected and managed in a way that advances the consortium mission and delivers value to both the public and private sides of the partnership.
The expected federal funding level for the administrator award is up to $18.5 million, with DOE anticipating a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1; AwardCeiling: $18,500,000). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means DOE expects to have substantial involvement in the project beyond what would occur in a standard grant. In parallel, DOE also set aside an additional $2.0 million that would be allocated directly by DOE to DOE/NNSA Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) to perform R&D activities. Those FFRDC efforts could be carried out in direct partnership with the consortium administrator or could be directed toward priorities identified by the consortium, reinforcing the intent to connect national-lab capabilities with industry-relevant offshore wind technology needs.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to any type of entity, subject to any eligibility clarifications contained in the full FOA text. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with an energy activity category, and is associated with CFDA number 81.087. Key timing details in the notice indicate the FOA was created December 12, 2017, with an original closing date of March 26, 2018. The official and complete requirements, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria are provided in the full FOA posting on EERE Exchange (eere-exchange.energy.gov) under Funding Opportunity Announcement DE-FOA-0001767.Apply for DE FOA 0001767
