Collaborations for Energy Research – Request for
Information
Request
for Information
The
ERPP is soliciting whitepapers on areas of energy research that should be
supported within the ERPP portfolio – areas that are capable of leading to new,
nationally competitive, campus-wide programs. Of interest are proposed
collaborations, activities, or infrastructure that would allow formation of a
critical mass of researchers that can “take the next step” toward national
prominence as exemplified by significant long-term funding, transformative
technology development, and improved quality of life for the citizens of
Kentucky.
Funding
No
funding is anticipated under this RFI. Upon review of whitepapers, a
request for proposals may be made to one or more selected groups with an
anticipated award size of $250,000-$500,000 per award and a budget period of up
to 3 years.
Topical
Areas
White
papers in all areas of energy research may be submitted, including the related
areas of materials science, environmental impacts, behavorial aspects or health effects of energy production
and use, and the food-energy-water intersection. Collaborations should
span multiple colleges and centers. Activities that engender
collaborations between the natural sciences, engineering and social, behavioral
or health sciences are encouraged.
Submission
Responses
must be received before 5pm on October 30, 2020, and should be emailed
