future, such as innovations in advanced
manufacturing, and supply chains,
among others;
• Fostering sustainable and equitable
economic growth in underinvested
regions of the U.S.;
• Creating long-term high paying jobs
in existing and new industries;
• Facilitating engagement and
partnership with local and regional
communities adjacent to DOE
Laboratories and Sites; and
• Training and educating both the
current and future diverse, equitable,
and inclusive workforce.
Innovation ecosystems anchored
around DOE National Laboratories and
Sites will directly support DOE’s
missions, including advancing new and
emerging clean energy technologies,
combatting the effects of climate change,
developing technologies to support our
nation’s security, cleaning up of legacy
nuclear waste, and developing a
technically skilled workforce.
Purpose
DOE is seeking input from all
stakeholders about opportunities for
place-based innovation activities that
leverage research institutions—
particularly the National Laboratories
and Sites—to catalyze innovation
ecosystems, contribute to DOE’s mission
in energy, environment, and national
security and ensure our nation’s vibrant
economic future. The information
received in response to this RFI will
inform, and be considered by, the DOE
in program planning and development.
This is solely a request for information
and not a Funding Opportunity
Announcement (FOA), prize, or other
solicitation.
Request for Responses
The objective of this RFI is to identify
both opportunities and challenges for
developing place-based innovation
ecosystems anchored by DOE National
Laboratories and Sites. DOE is
interested in hearing about potential
new activities, as well as ongoing
activities that would benefit from
additional support. Information related,
but not limited, to the following
questions is requested:
