Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0003098
This notice is a heads-up from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) that it plans to release a future Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) related to domestic battery supply chain investments, but it is not an open funding competition yet. The document is strictly informational: DOE is not requesting public comments, and it is not accepting applications at this time. The agency also emphasizes that all details in the notice may change once the actual FOA is issued. The notice itself can be found on DOE's Infrastructure Exchange website at https://infrastructure-exchange.energy.gov/Default.aspx.
The planned FOA is being developed by DOE's Office of Manufacturing and Energy Supply Chains (MESC) and is titled "Bipartisan Infrastructure Law 40207(b) Battery Materials Processing and 40207(c) Battery Manufacturing Grants Round II." In practical terms, the intent is to support projects that strengthen U.S. capability to process battery materials and manufacture batteries, using funding provided under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, commonly called the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL). The reference to sections 40207(b) and 40207(c) signals that the funding is tied to specific statutory authorities within BIL that target battery materials processing and battery manufacturing activities, and "Round II" indicates this is expected to be a subsequent round following an earlier funding round under the same or similar authority.
From the source data provided with the notice, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the energy funding activity area, associated with Assistance Listing (formerly CFDA) number 81.253. The administering entity is listed as the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL), which often serves as DOE's contracting and financial assistance hub for certain DOE offices and initiatives. The listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," but that should not be treated as final eligibility guidance; the notice explicitly states that eligibility requirements will be published in the FOA itself, meaning the final applicant pool, allowable project types, cost share rules, and other compliance requirements will be defined later.
Several elements in the posting look intentionally incomplete because this is only a notice of intent. For example, the award ceiling is shown as "2" and expected awards are blank, which are not meaningful as written and reinforce that funding levels, award sizes, and number of awards are not yet finalized in the public posting. The original closing date shown (2023-10-31) should also be interpreted cautiously in this context, since DOE is not accepting applications under this notice; any real submission deadline would be established only when the FOA is officially released. The creation date for the notice is listed as 2023-08-31.
The main takeaway is that DOE is signaling an upcoming Round II grant program under BIL aimed at scaling or expanding U.S. battery materials processing and battery manufacturing capabilities, but interested organizations cannot apply yet. Anyone tracking this opportunity should monitor DOE's Infrastructure Exchange and watch for the formal FOA release, because that is where the definitive rules will appear, including eligibility, evaluation criteria, submission requirements, funding amounts, and the application timeline.Apply for DE FOA 0003098
