Formally established in 2014, Manufacturing USA brings together industry, academia and federal partners within a growing network of advanced manufacturing institutes to increase U.S. manufacturing competitiveness and promote a robust and sustainable national manufacturing R&D infrastructure. Welcome to Manufacturing.gov, a national advanced manufacturing portal and information clearinghouse highlighting the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, now known as Manufacturing USA. This is solely a request for information and not a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). EERE is not accepting applications through this RFI. The Department of Energy (DOE) will not respond to questions regarding this RFI. We are proud to announce that the National Network for Manufacturing Innovation has a public name: Manufacturing USA. Over the past four years of the program, nine manufacturing innovation institutes have been established or announced, with six more planned by 2017. Tier 1 (Concept Definition, expected TRL 2-3): DOE Federal Funding Share Range of $250,000 - $1,000,000. The project would conduct early stage research needed to explore and define technical concepts. Activities would focus on thoroughly understanding and describing the capabilities of the technology. In his 2013 and 2014 State of the Union Addresses, the President called for the creation of a Nationwide Network for Manufacturing Innovation (now known as Manufacturing USA) to scale up advanced manufacturing technologies and processes. advancing sustainable, efficient manufacturing processes. Advanced Manufacturing. Improved energy efficiency and manufacturing are required for U.S. industries to remain competitive in global markets. INL researchers focus on the challenges of bolstering both energy efficiency and global competitiveness. This funding opportunity addresses three topic areas from the Advanced Manufacturing Office. Each topic area consists of multiple subtopics. DOE intends to fund the applications with the greatest chance of helping achieve the goals and mission of EERE. National Organization. The Manufacturing USA network is operated by the interagency Advanced Manufacturing National Program Office, which is headquartered in the National Institute of Standards and Technology, in the Department of Commerce. The intention of this design is to consistently enforce a standard deadline for all applications.
