Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0002590
The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Golden Field Office, issued a discretionary funding opportunity announcement (FOA) titled "Performance Targets for Perovskite Photovoltaic Research, Development, and Demonstration Programs" under Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0002590. The opportunity sits in the broad federal assistance category focused on energy and science and technology research and development, and it is associated with CFDA 81.087 (a DOE assistance listing commonly tied to energy R&D and related programs). The FOA was created on October 19, 2021, with an original closing date of November 12, 2021.
At a high level, the subject matter centers on perovskite photovoltaics, a fast-developing class of solar technologies known for potentially high efficiencies and lower-cost manufacturing pathways compared with some conventional photovoltaic approaches. The title and description indicate that the FOA is aimed at establishing or communicating performance targets that would guide research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) programs for perovskite PV. In practical terms, this kind of FOA topic typically relates to defining measurable technical benchmarks that RD&D efforts should meet to be considered successful, such as efficiency, operational stability and lifetime, manufacturing scalability, reliability under real-world stressors (heat, humidity, UV exposure), and other performance and durability metrics that matter for commercialization and deployment.
Eligibility is listed as "unrestricted," meaning the opportunity was open to any applicant type (for example, companies, universities, national labs, nonprofits, or other organizations), subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that would normally appear in the full FOA text. The funding instrument type is listed as "Other," which signals that the DOE may have intended a mechanism outside standard categories shown on some summaries (for example, it could involve a particular form of agreement, support instrument, or other structured process described in the full announcement). Notably, the summary data provided lists an award ceiling of $0 and expected awards of 0, which suggests that this posting may not have been structured as a conventional grant competition with planned financial assistance awards, or that the entry is serving a different administrative purpose (such as publishing targets, seeking input, or supporting program planning) rather than issuing funded project selections. The brief description shown is identical to the title, reinforcing that this record is more of a headline-level notice and that the details would reside in the full FOA documentation.
In short, DE-FOA-0002590 is a DOE Golden Field Office opportunity dated October 2021 that focuses on performance targets for perovskite photovoltaic RD&D programs, is broadly open in eligibility, and appears in the DOE energy R&D assistance domain, but the summarized funding fields indicate it may not have been a typical award-making solicitation based on the posted ceiling and expected award counts.Apply for DE FOA 0002590
