BETO Notice of Funding Opportunity Application Tutorial

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Bioenergy Technologies Office (BETO) has released resources for Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), previously known as Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), applicants which will include a step–by-step tutorial and general funding opportunity Frequently Asked Questions. These materials are in response to stakeholder feedback to BETO and the Office of Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy (EERE) and is intended to provide NOFO resources, especially for first-time and new-to-BETO applicants. NOFOs may vary, so it is always important to review individual NOFOs to understand and address requirements.

The tutorial will include a review of the NOFO key areas that will help applicants determine whether the NOFO topic is a good fit for them and offers insight into the NOFO application and process. The tutorial includes:

  • Technology space and strategic goals review
  • Navigation of the topic area description section
  • Eligibility information
  • Review criteria and proposal organization
  • Reviewer comments response period
  • Process for answering NOFO-related questions.
