Category: Opportunity DoD Communities of Interest: Energy and Power Technologies Subject: ESTCP - Environmental and Installation Energy and Water Technologies ESTCP Due Date: Pre-proposals are due March 4, 2021, prior to 2:00 p.m. (ET). Government Organization: Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) Description: ESTCP FY 2022 Solicitation -- Call for Proposals: Environmental and Installation Energy and Water Technologies ESTCP ESTCP Solicitations The Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) is the Department of Defense (DoD) demonstration program for environmental and installation energy technologies. The ESTCP FY 2022 Solicitation was released on January 7, 2021. Researchers from Federal organizations, universities, and private industry can apply for ESTCP funding. All proposals must respond to a Topic Area associated with the solicitation. ESTCP projects are formal demonstrations in which innovative technologies are rigorously evaluated. ESTCP demonstrations are conducted at DoD facilities and sites to document improved efficiency, reduced liability, improved environmental outcomes, and cost savings. The Program Announcement provides details regarding the program’s objectives, proposal submission requirements, the evaluation of proposals, and the topic areas. The Program Announcement is posted on the ESTCP website at https://serdp-estcp.org/Funding-Opportunities/ESTCP-Solicitations Awardees under this call for proposals will be selected through a multi-stage review process, including a brief pre-proposal, a full proposal, and an oral presentation. Based on the pre-proposal evaluation, each of the pre-proposal submitters will be notified as to whether ESTCP does or does not request the submission of a full proposal. Pre-proposals must be received no later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on March 4, 2021. Instructions for submittal can be found on the ESTCP website. To learn more, please join us for the announcement Webinar - The ESTCP Director, Deputy Director, and Program Managers will conduct an online seminar ESTCP Funding Opportunities - FY 2022 on January 21, 2021. Registration. This webinar will be recorded and made available for viewing at other times. If you have any questions regarding this call for proposals, please feel free to call 571-372-6565. Please share this notice with all interested parties. Energy and water resilience enables Army readiness and gives us all the power to win! Army Strong! Mr. J. E. "Jack" Surash, P.E. Acting Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Energy & Sustainability) 110 Army Pentagon - Room 3D453 Washington D.C. 203-0110 https://www.asaie.army.mil/Public/ES/index.html Army Energy & Sustainability http://www.asaie.army.mil/Public/ES/ FY 2022 Federal Outside DoD Call for Proposals: Topic B1 January 7, 2021 Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP) INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER APPROACHES OBJECTIVE Innovative technology transfer approaches are sought for technologies that have been successfully demonstrated under ESTCP or for mature bodies of knowledge that are appropriate for direct transfer that have been developed under the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP). For this announcement, “technology” is broadly defined to include integrated systems based on any combination of hardware (equipment) and software (processing), materials engineering processes, chemical formulations, and resource management devices, methods, tools, or models based on scientific principles. The target communities of interest are primarily end-users, which may include Remedial Project Managers (RPMs) within the military; acquisition program managers; energy managers; natural resource managers; regulatory agency representatives; those responsible for updating the design codes, engineering design manuals, standards, or performance specifications; and other practitioners. Each of these communities will likely benefit from a technology transfer approach specific to their mission, business processes, and manner of receiving information. Approaches of interest include but are not limited to short courses (either live or on-line), videos, webinars, monographs, updates to standards and regulations, endorsements by regulatory bodies, fact sheets, websites, and workshops. Of particular interest are innovative approaches that clearly leverage new platforms and methodologies for reaching a broader audience. Proposals should be structured to address the transfer needs of a specific ESTCP- or SERDPfunded project or group of projects that have demonstrated technical success and should produce one or more specific products that are suitable for one or multiple target audiences. Proposals should explicitly address why the focus technology is appropriate for this effort, what are the barriers to its adoption, who are the key stakeholders, what are their information needs regarding the technology, why the proposed approach is temporally relevant, and why the proposed approach is appropriate to the technology and the audience. Proposals should comprehensively address all stakeholders that will determine the adoption of the innovative technology. It is expected that some proposed approaches will apply to a broad array of SERDP and ESTCP investment areas, while others will be narrowly targeted. Both types of proposals are desirable. The scope of applicability should be clearly stated in the proposal. Information about SERDP and ESTCP projects can be found on the SERDP and ESTCP website. https://serdp-estcp.org/Funding-Opportunities/ESTCP-Solicitations ESTCP projects currently transfer technologies through a variety of required project deliverables, including guidance, design, and/or protocol documents as well as Final Reports. SERDP projects produce a Final Report, and some projects also produce guidance and protocols. Final Reports are generally comprehensive accounts of all activities and results of the project in a manner suitable to transmit information to technical audiences. Still, they are less applicable to managers and decision-makers. Protocols and guidance documents distill key actionable information but are still limited by their format and medium as technology transfer tools. In addition to the above methods, technologies developed and demonstrated by SERDP, and ESTCP also may transfer via a number of transition methods, including but not limited to the following: (1) direct transition of a base of scientific knowledge to improve current management or practices; (2) transition to vendors who provide contracted services to the department; (3) transition to a DoD program of record; (4) acquisition of equipment or services at an individual installation; or (5) implementation of new processes or materials in manufacturing or maintenance facilities. The development of additional innovative technology transfer tools that capitalize on current platforms could greatly enhance technology transition efforts. ESTCP has supported the development of a number of technology transfer approaches. Proposers should be familiar with the ESTCP portfolio to avoid duplication of previous efforts. ESTCP technology transfer project descriptions are available on the ESTCP website.
