Plain-English explanation

Plain-English explanation

This CEC opportunity provides cost share only to applicants applying for a currently eligible DOE FOA or DOE follow-on funding opportunity; requests made after the applicant has already received the relevant federal award or follow-on funding are ineligible. The packet identifies businesses, individuals, and public agencies as eligible applicant types, subject to requirements in the solicitation manual. It does not supply the eligible-opportunity list, manual requirements, funding amounts, cost-share terms, deadline, or complete scoring criteria. Demonstration projects located in and benefiting disadvantaged and/or low-income communities and/or Tribes may receive preference points.

Editorial analysis

What the funder is trying to accomplish

The CEC intends to provide cost share to applicants that are applying for a DOE FOA or DOE follow-on funding opportunity identified as eligible under this solicitation. It does not provide retroactive cost share where the applicant has already received the relevant federal award or follow-on funding.

Editorial analysis

Strong-fit project signals

The applicant is applying for a DOE FOA or DOE follow-on funding opportunity that is currently listed as eligible by the CEC. The applicant is a business, individual, or public agency. The project meets the requirements stated in the solicitation manual. For a demonstration project, the project is located in and benefits a disadvantaged and/or low-income community and/or Tribe, which makes it eligible for preference points under the GFO scoring criteria.

Editorial analysis

What reviewers may prioritize

The complete review criteria and weighting are not supplied. The packet does confirm one scoring-related consideration: demonstration projects located in and benefiting disadvantaged and/or low-income communities and/or Tribes are eligible for preference points. For such projects, clearly substantiating both location and benefits is therefore a supported competitive consideration, not a complete description of the scoring system.

Source-backed synopsis

What this grant funds

Before applying, applicants are encouraged to check Eligibility Requirements in Section II. of this solicitation. As new eligible cost share opportunities are released, the CEC will revise this document with corresponding information on how to apply for cost share for that funding opportunity. Information on currently eligible funding opportunities can be found in the Eligible Federal Funding Opportunities section of the Eligibility Requirements (Section II.A.). The CEC will provide cost share only to applicants that are applying for a FOA or follow-on funding from DOE as described above. If the applicant has already received a federal award or follow-on funding and is seeking retroactive cost share, that application will not be eligible under this solicitation.
