DOE Funding Opportunities

The Department of Energy (DOE) offers the following funding opportunities.

Program Solicitations

DOE's Hydrogen, Fuel Cells & Infrastructure Technologies Program (HFCIT) selects research and development and other projects through open and competitive procurements. View open program solicitations or past program solicitations.

All DOE-funded proposals for hydrogen-related solicitations must include a preliminary safety plan, and all funded projects must complete a more detailed safety plan as part of the project.
