Description: The purpose of this modification is to inform potential applicants that Modification 0001 to this FOA has been posted to EERE Exchange. Please see the table of changes on the second page of Modification 0001 on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov The complete Funding Opportunity Announcement can be accessed on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov This Funding Opportunity Announcement is soliciting applications that support research, testing, and development of innovative technologies capable of generating renewable, environmentally responsible and cost-effective electricity from U.S. water resources. These include marine and hydrokinetic (MHK) technologies that harness the energy from waves and ocean/tidal/river currents. The MHK sub-program of the Water Power Technologies Office has the opportunity to focus on the technologies that can be deployed in early-adopter markets (i.e., wave and current resources with high energy costs) in the near-term while supporting next generation technologies that have the potential to be cost competitive with other energy generation technologies in large utility scale markets in the longer term. This Funding Opportunity Announcement targets technologies aiming for economic competitiveness in either early-adopter or large utility scale markets. This FOA will solicit applications that propose projects supporting MHK research and development projects in two Topic Areas: Topic Area 1 &#8220;Wave Energy Converters System Advancement&#8221; will focus on advancing the design of wave energy converters from prototypes to full systems. Topic Area 2 &#8220;Open Topic &#8211; MHK Technology Development&#8221; seeks to develop innovative technologies that have the potential to significantly advance MHK technologies and the state of the MHK industry. Submission Deadline for Concept Papers: 1/17/2017 Submission Deadline for Applications: 3/1/2017
