Advanced Materials for Energy Grant Program

7th Proposal Round for Commercialization Projects - Now Closed

With the support of the DCED of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the Air Force Research Laboratories, the Center is funding two types of grants to accelerate the commercialization of Advanced Materials and Nanomaterials Technologies for Energy Applications. Please refer to the Energy Technology Roadmap. These grants are for A. Pre-Commercialization Projects and B. Commercialization Projects. Please refer to the Proposal Instructions and Judging Criteria for further details.

How to Propose

The Center has an optional two-stage submission proposal process:

  1. Idea Submission
  2. Formal Proposal Submission
    • Optional pre-proposal feedback window (until January 15, 2010)
    • Final proposal submission (midnight January 31, 2010)

The Idea Submission track offers potential proposers the opportunity to present their general technology and commercialization ideas to the Center’s staff for initial feedback.  This feedback is intended to assist proposers with preparation for submission of the formal proposal. To submit an idea submission to the Center, click here.

The Formal Proposal Submission requires authors to submit a complete, full proposal to the Center during the open request for proposal timeframe.  Full judging criteria and proposal guidelines, a template for preparing the proposal, and other critical documents are available to authors in the member's login section of our website.
