NSF/DOE Partnership on Thermoelectric Devices for Vehicle Applications

closed

The Directorate for Engineering at the National Science Foundation has established a partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy Vehicle Technologies Program in order to address critical fundamental and applied research challenges associated with harvesting waste heat in vehicle applications. The goal of the partnership is to leverage the complementary missions of deployment and commercialization (DOE) and fundamental research and education (NSF) to address issues of national importance that impact our reliance on foreign sources of oil. The Directorate for Engineering seeks proposals with transformative ideas that will impact national needs and priorities in energy conservation and climate change, specifically as pertains to novel thermoelectric devices and systems for harvesting waste heat in vehicle applications. Proposals must meet the detailed requirements delineated in this solicitation.
