Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001946
The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Golden Field Office and the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE), issued a Request for Information (RFI) titled "Field of Potential Performers for Weatherization Assistance Program Grantee Training and Technical Assistance Project" (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001946). This notice is not a standard grant competition in the usual sense; it is a market research and information-gathering effort meant to help DOE understand what kinds of organizations exist, what capabilities they have, and how they could potentially support future work connected to the Weatherization Assistance Program (WAP). The underlying focus is strengthening WAP administration by improving how grantees manage and plan training for their staff, which in turn supports effective delivery of weatherization services.
The core purpose of the RFI is to solicit feedback from a broad range of stakeholders, including private industry, universities and other academic groups, research laboratories, government agencies, and others with relevant expertise. DOE is specifically trying to gauge the availability and capacity of providers that can directly assist WAP Grantees. In practical terms, DOE is looking for entities that can help grantees run stronger programs through training on effective management practices, along with support in developing structured training plans for grantee staff. The emphasis is on administrative and managerial effectiveness, not just technical weatherization measures, because grantee performance depends heavily on planning, oversight, compliance, reporting, and well-run operational systems.
The opportunity is categorized under the Energy funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 81.042, which corresponds to the Weatherization Assistance Program. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity as long as it meets any conditions described in the full RFI text. While the posting includes fields often seen in grant announcements (such as an "Award Ceiling" of 2 and "Expected Awards" of 1), the document itself is explicitly an RFI, so the immediate action requested from the public is submission of information and feedback rather than full grant applications. In other words, DOE is building a clearer picture of who could perform this type of training and technical assistance work and how such support could be structured.
Administratively, the RFI was created on June 12, 2018, with an original closing date of July 12, 2018. Interested parties were directed to the EERE Exchange website (https://eere-exchange.energy.gov/) to review the full text of the RFI and obtain instructions on how to respond. The Exchange portal is DOE EERE's standard platform for releasing these kinds of notices and collecting submissions, and it typically includes specific formatting requirements, requested content areas, and submission deadlines.
Overall, this notice is best understood as DOE taking an early, preparatory step to inform future training and technical assistance efforts for WAP grantees. By gathering input and identifying capable providers, DOE can better design subsequent support initiatives that improve grantee management practices and workforce development planning, ultimately helping WAP operate more consistently and effectively across states, territories, and other grantee organizations.Apply for DE FOA 0001946
