Fiscal Year 2020 While vehicles with more efficient and sophisticated engines are hitting the road in ever-greater numbers, their performance is limited by the properties of today’s conventional fuels. Researchers with the U.S. Department of Energy Co-Optimization of Fuels & Engines (Co-Optima) initiative are exploring how simultaneous innovations in fuels and engines can boost fuel economy and vehicle performance, while reducing emissions—advancing the underlying science needed to deliver better fuels and better engines sooner. The Co-Optima team views fuels not as standalone elements in the transportation system, but as dynamic design variables that can work with modern engines to optimize and revolutionize the entire on-road fleet, from light-duty passenger cars to heavy-duty freight trucks. Top scientists, engineers, and analysts from national laboratories, universities, and industry are collaborating on this first-of-its-kind effort to combine biofuels and combustion research and development. Building on decades of advances in fuels and engines, the Co-Optima initiative’s three-pronged, integrated approach is providing American industry with the scientific underpinnings needed to identify and develop: Engines designed to run more efficiently on affordable, scalable, and sustainable fuels Fuels designed to enable high-efficiency, low-emission engines Strategies that can shape the success of new fuels and vehicle technologies with industry and consumers.

The cost principles and award regulations that apply to this program are contained in 2 CFR 200 as amended by 2 CFR 910. The application forms must be downloaded from the specific funding opportunity announcement posted on the grants.gov website at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/ and http://www.grants.gov/ and submitted per instructions in the funding opportunity announcement. All applications which pass an initial review will receive an objective merit review. The objective merit review will be based on evaluation criteria set forth in the competitive solicitation(s) or criteria set forth in 2 CFR Part 200 for Unsolicited Proposals. Evaluations will be conducted by Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) program personnel at DOE Headquarters in Washington, DC. This responsibility may also be delegated to DOE Field Offices. Final decisions will be made by the EERE Assistant Secretary, Deputy Assistant Secretaries, and the Director of the Federal Energy Management Program. Contact the headquarters or regional location, as appropriate for application deadlines Submission deadlines will be published in the funding opportunity announcements at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/ and http://www.grants.gov From 60 to 180 days. Unsuccessful applicants are entitled to a debriefing by DOE program officials with a clear explanation of why the proposal was not accepted for funding. Grants and/or cooperative agreements may be modified or extended. Selection will be based on an objective merit review, program policy factors, the availability of funds, provisions of appropriation laws, reports, and as otherwise specified in specific solicitation document(s) at https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/ Assistance may be used to develop and transfer renewable energy technologies to the scientific and industrial communities, State, and local governments. Not applicable. Audit procedures in accordance with 2 CFR 200 subpart F and the for-profit entity audit requirements in 2 CFR 910.501 In addition, audit requirements need to comply with the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007 and DOE procurement procedures.
