Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001755
The grant opportunity titled "Industry Partnerships for Cybersecurity of Energy Delivery Systems (CEDS) Research, Development and Demonstration" (Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0001755) is a Department of Energy (DOE) funding call run through the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) on behalf of the DOE Office of Electricity Delivery and Energy Reliability (OE). It is focused on strengthening the cybersecurity and overall cyber resilience of the nations energy delivery systems by supporting research, development, and demonstration (RD and D) efforts. The central aim is to push beyond incremental improvements and instead develop next generation cybersecurity tools, technologies, and approaches that do not yet exist in the market, then demonstrate them in ways that make adoption across the energy sector realistic and likely.
The opportunity sits within the Cybersecurity for Energy Delivery Systems (CEDS) Research and Development program, which is concerned with reducing the likelihood and potential impact of cyber incidents that could disrupt energy delivery. In practical terms, the solicitation is looking for innovative solutions that help energy delivery operators prevent, withstand, respond to, and recover from cyber attacks targeting operational technology and industrial control environments connected to energy infrastructure. The emphasis on demonstrations signals that DOE wants solutions that can move out of the lab and into realistic operational settings, showing measurable value and a clear pathway to deployment.
This is a discretionary funding opportunity, and awards are expected to be made using a cooperative agreement. A cooperative agreement generally means DOE anticipates having substantial involvement during the project, such as technical collaboration, milestone oversight, or coordination on demonstration activities, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed as Energy, Science and Technology and other Research and Development, reflecting its applied R and D orientation and its relevance to both cybersecurity and critical infrastructure operations.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may be included in the full announcement text. That typically leaves the door open for a wide range of applicants such as private companies, utilities, universities, nonprofits, state and local governments, and consortia or partnerships. The title itself highlights "industry partnerships," which implies DOE is encouraging multi-organization teams that bring together operational stakeholders (like utilities or system operators) with technology developers and researchers to ensure that proposed solutions meet real-world needs and can be adopted at scale.
Financially, the maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $4,000,000 per award, and DOE anticipated making about 8 awards under this announcement. The program is associated with CFDA number 81.122, which is the federal assistance listing historically tied to DOE electric infrastructure and reliability efforts, including cybersecurity initiatives. The announcement was created on April 16, 2018, with an original application deadline of June 18, 2018, which frames it as a time-bound competitive funding round during that period.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to accelerate innovation that measurably improves the cyber resilience of energy delivery systems and reduces the risk that cyber events could cause outages or other disruptions. The DOE is effectively funding the development and validation of new capabilities that the energy sector can adopt broadly, with the expectation that successful projects will produce practical, demonstrable outcomes rather than purely theoretical research.Apply for DE FOA 0001755
