Complete information, including the full modified Funding Opportunity Announcement, can be found on the EERE Exchange website - https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/ The purposes of this modification are to update the following dates located on the Cover Page of the FOA: • Submission Deadline for Full Applications • Expected Submission Deadline for Replies to Reviewer Comments • Expected Date for EERE Selection Notifications • Expected Timeframe for Award Negotiations The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is issuing, on behalf of the Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO), Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) DE-FOA-0002236 entitled “Offshore Wind Atmospheric Science and Project Development.” This FOA has Two Topic Areas Topic Area 1: The overall goal of this Topic Area is to provide funding for a project that will improve wind resource modeling and predictions in offshore wind energy development areas. Using lessons-learned and information gained during the previous program work in complex-terrain wind resource modeling and prediction, this Topic Area will focus on improving wind resource model physics for foundational wind forecasts and other applications in offshore wind energy development areas. Topic Area 2: The overall goal of this Topic Area is to provide funding for a project(s) that will enable demonstration of a novel technology and/or methodology that will advance the state-of-the-art of offshore wind energy in the United States. The proposed project must either implement an innovative technology at engineering/pilot or full-scale, and/or employ a novel methodology that has yet to be utilized commercially in the United States for offshore wind.
