The U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE's) Office of Technology Transitions and the Technology Commercialization Fund (TCF) recently unveiled a new program—the TCF Open Voucher Call—that connects the public with researchers at DOE national laboratories. This single-phase call will award up to 21 teams with a technical assistance voucher of up to $100,000, redeemable at one of eight national labs:
- National Renewable Energy Laboratory
- Sandia National Laboratories
- Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
- Los Alamos National Laboratory
- Ames National Laboratory
- Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
- Argonne National Laboratory
- Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Vouchers must be used within a one-year period. Awardees will be selected based on innovative ideas and concepts for advancing energy, sustainability, or other lab-supported initiatives. Participating national labs will provide awardees with expertise and lab validation capabilities to help them advance their concept closer to commercialization.
Those interested are encouraged to attend an informational webinar on July 18, 2024, at 2 p.m. ET. Applications are due October 3, 2024.
The TCF Open Voucher Call is open to private entities (for-profits and nonprofits); non-federal government entities such as states, counties, tribes, and municipalities; academic and research institutions; and individuals. The goal of this call is to foster a culture of curiosity and collaboration while bridging the gap between scientific expertise and public engagement.
