["Question #","Date Submitted","Topic","Question","Answer"]
[1,"2022-04-26","Eligibility","Regarding the AMO lab call for TCF proposals (DE-LC-00012), please clarify if an industrial partner is required. In some instances, the call states that a private partner is required, and in others it states that private partners must be included \"to the extent possible,\" implying that it is optional.  It would be helpful to know if AMO will accept proposals that do not include private/industrial partners.","As stated on Page 4 “The intent of Lab Call #DE-LC-0000012 is to fund projects that are collaborative projects with qualified industrial partners”.  This is emphasized throughout the Lab Call and review criteria.  The language stating that partners were to be included “to the extent possible” is included in a general section of the Lab Call.  Applications that do not include industrial partners will be considered non-responsive to the objectives of the Lab Call.  "]
[2,"2022-04-27","Application Content/Format","In the past, lab calls have not required the following forms:\n\n1)\t– DOE Work proposals for FFRDC\n2)\t- Authorization letter from contracting officers for FFRDC\n3)\t– SF-LLL Disclosure of Lobbying Activities\n\nAll of these items are included in the table on page 14, but are not otherwise mentioned within the lab call document.  Are these items for sure going to be required?","The documents specified in the Lab Call are required to be submitted with the full application.  AMO is reviewing the list to determine if all will be required; any changes to required documents will be specified in a modification to the Lab Call (if one is posted).  "]
[3,"2022-04-26","Labs/FFRDCs","Regarding the AMO lab call for TCF proposals, please advise if a CRADA (or other agreement type) will be required for funded projects.  \n\nAlso, please advise if the 6-month deadline to execute the CRADA applies—this was a standard rule/requirement for previous TCF calls.","The Lab Call does not specify specific agreement types (including CRADAs) to be used, however CRADAs are strongly encouraged and applicants must describe the specific agreement type planned for the project.  Please see Mod 1 to the Lab Call.  \n\nThere is no 6-month deadline for CRADAs (if utilized), however the timeline for the agreement type planned should be provided in the application and applicants need to demonstrate how the timeline supports successful completion of the proposed project.  "]
[4,"2022-05-02","Labs/FFRDCs","If a project is selected for award, will funding for a partner laboratory be sent to the lead laboratory to be contracted out to the partner lab through an MPO, or will the funds be sent directly from headquarters to the partner lab?","In most cases for applications selected that have multiple Labs involved, funds will be sent via a separate AOP to each Lab.  The applicant will be responsible for ensure the work is properly coordinated with the other Labs on the project.  "]
[5,"2022-05-10","Technical Topics","Does this call allow for fuels research that is focused on the materials extraction and transport of raw materials at the mine level?\n\nWould the development of novel hydrogen based combustion materials be in scope?","Applicants need to support how their project is responsive to the topic area described in the Lab Call. DOE will not provide guidance on which specific technologies or approaches are necessary to meet the objectives and criteria defined in the Lab Call."]
[6,"2022-05-10","Technical Topics","Are you able to provide the name of AMO’s Technical POC for this Lab Call?

[7,"2022-06-02","Eligibility","How could we [Redacted] apply to: DE-LC-0000012: TECHNOLOGY COMMERCIALIZATION FUNDING? \nWe are at a pilot stage that needs to be scaled from 5BPD to 1000 BPD.","Per Section B.i. ELIGIBILITY: All DOE/National Nuclear Security Agency (NNSA) National Laboratories, are eligible to submit proposals as prime awardees, unless specified otherwise.
