OpportunityTitle: Request for Information on Research and Development Opportunities for Windows
Description: DE-FOA-0002161 Request for Information (RFI) on Research and Development Opportunities for WindowsThe purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback from industry, academia, research laboratories, government agencies, and other stakeholders on BTO&#8217;s windows R&amp;D and its future directions and priorities. To clarify these, BTO developed the RDO report, which is structured around four key areas. The RDO report identifies opportunities and challenges, technology development, integration, and implementation. BTO is requesting feedback on each of these areas. BTO is also requesting feedback on planned technical objectives, technical targets, tools, and overall R&amp;D activities and estimates of program impacts. BTO will not develop a FY20 Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) based on the feedback from the RFI. This RFI includes guidance on how to provide feedback that will inform updates to the RDO report itself, and ultimately, the strategic direction of the portfolio moving forward.This RFI is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA); therefore, EERE is not accepting applications at this time. EERE may issue a FOA in the future based on or related to the content and responses to this RFI; however, EERE may also elect not to issue a FOA. There is no guarantee that a FOA will be issued as a result of this RFI. Responding to this RFI does not provide any advantage or disadvantage to potential applicants if EERE chooses to issue a FOA regarding the subject matter. Final details, including the anticipated award size, quantity, and timing of EERE funded awards, will be subject to Congressional appropriations and direction.Information on where to submit questions regarding the content of the Request for Information (RFI) and where to submit responses can be found in the full RFI document posted on the EERE Exchange website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov.
