Opportunity Announcement (FOA) The Advanced Manufacturing Office (AMO) of EERE
seeks to establish a Clean Energy Manufacturing Innovation Institute for
Composites Materials and Structures that will support U.S. prosperity and
security; and contribute to the creation of the pilot National Network for
Manufacturing Innovation. The vision for the Institute is to revitalize
American manufacturing and support domestic manufacturing competitiveness. The
technical topic area for this Institute is low cost, energy efficient
manufacturing of fiber reinforced polymer composites. The Institute will target
continuous or discontinuous, primarily carbon and glass fiber systems, with
thermoset or thermoplastic resin materials. These types of composites are
foundational technologies that are broadly applicable and pervasive in multiple
industries and markets with potentially transformational technical and economic
impact.
