Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001919
The Fiscal Year 2018 Advanced Vehicle Technologies Research Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), numbered DE-FOA-0001919, is a discretionary funding opportunity from the U.S. Department of Energy, administered through the National Energy Technology Laboratory on behalf of DOE's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) and its Vehicle Technologies Office. The FOA is designed to fund applied research and development projects that advance vehicle technologies with the practical goal of improving fuel economy and overall energy efficiency in transportation. Awards are structured as cooperative agreements, which typically means DOE expects to be substantially involved during the project period through active collaboration, technical oversight, and regular project reporting rather than operating as a hands-off grantmaker.
This FOA targets research projects aligned to several priority technical areas. A major emphasis is on batteries and electrification, reflecting the need for improved energy storage, performance, durability, cost reduction, and manufacturing readiness to support electric-drive vehicles. Another focus area is materials technology integration, which generally involves developing and integrating advanced materials into vehicle systems in ways that enhance performance, reduce weight, improve thermal management, and enable next-generation component designs. The FOA also emphasizes energy-efficient mobility systems, which can include system-level approaches that improve the efficiency of how people and goods move, potentially spanning vehicle controls, connectivity, routing, and other strategies that reduce energy use per mile traveled. In addition, it highlights energy-efficient commercial off-road vehicle technologies, recognizing that non-highway equipment and commercial applications can represent significant fuel consumption and emissions and may require specialized technology pathways. Finally, the FOA includes co-optimized advanced engine and fuel technologies, which points to coordinated development of engines and fuels so they work better together, improving efficiency through combustion optimization, advanced combustion strategies, and fuel-engine compatibility improvements.
In terms of funding and scale, the FOA lists an award ceiling of $5,000,000 per award and anticipates making approximately 51 awards, indicating DOE planned to support a relatively broad portfolio of projects rather than a small number of very large efforts. The program is identified under the Energy funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 81.086, a common assistance listing for DOE energy efficiency and renewable energy research and deployment-related initiatives.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional constraints or clarifications in the FOA's eligibility section. This kind of open eligibility typically allows participation from universities, national laboratories (where applicable), private companies, nonprofits, state and local governments, and consortia or project teams, though applicants must still meet any specific requirements described in the full announcement.
Key dates show the FOA was created on May 1, 2018, with an original application deadline of July 13, 2018. Overall, the opportunity can be understood as DOE's effort to push forward a mix of electrification, advanced materials, mobility systems efficiency, specialized commercial/off-road technology improvements, and engine-fuel co-optimization research, all aimed at measurable gains in transportation energy efficiency and fuel economy.Apply for DE FOA 0001919
