An entity may submit only one concept paper and one associated application for each topic area of this NOFO. If an entity submits more than one, we will only review the last timely submission. Any other submissions listing the same entity as the applicant for the same topic area will not be eligible. This limitation does not prohibit an entity from collaborating on other applications (e.g., as a potential subrecipient or partner) so long as the entity is only listed as the applicant on one concept paper and one associated application for each topic area of this NOFO.

Topic Area 2 Overview
The Smart Grid Topic Area aims to support projects focused on deploying advanced grid technologies. This initiative is looking for innovative application of cutting-edge, marketready technologies, which may include new devices, materials, engineering designs, or software tools. These projects are intended to strengthen grid reliability and resilience through reconductoring and deploying other Advanced Transmission Technologies. Projects will expand the transfer capability of existing transmission and sub-transmission lines, improve system flexibility, and reduce the likelihood and consequences of disruptive events. This topic supports projects that enhance the efficiency, reliability, and operational flexibility of the electric grid through smart grid technologies that enable real-time monitoring, control, and optimization of grid assets. DOE will focus primarily on projects that combine Advanced Transmission Technologies and reconductoring to achieve measurable increases in transfer capability and operational intelligence. 

Projects must demonstrate how digitalization, automation, and data-driven technologies improve existing transmission and sub-transmission systems while delivering measurable affordability benefits to ratepayers through reduced congestion costs, deferred capital investment, and improved efficiency of existing assets. Projects should provide quantifiable improvements in grid performance, situational awareness, and resilience through modernization and smart control. DOE seeks applications for smart grids, specifically those designed to support new load integration, that: 

• Integrate ATTs or reconductoring in ways that enable dynamic operations and increase transfer capability on existing rights-of-way
• Deploy advanced conductors and smart grid technologies that improve operational flexibility, reliability, and affordability
• Enhance data visibility and control through communications, automation, and analytics that directly support improved reliability
• Provide replicable approaches for regional scale-up and commercialization of combined ATTs and reconductoring deployments
• Support integration of backup generation enabling solutions (e.g., controls, telemetry, coordination) tailored for large load integration with mechanisms for grid-support services

 Program Description

Full sponsor guidelines: https://www.wmkeck.org/research-overview/

The mandate of the W.M. Keck Research Program is to support pioneering discoveries in Science, Engineering, and Medical Research.  The Foundation funds the high-risk and high-impact work of leading researchers to lay the groundwork for new paradigms, technologies, and discoveries that will save lives, provide innovative solutions and add to our understanding of the world.

Keck funded projects are distinctive and novel in their approach, question the prevailing paradigm, or have the potential to break open new territory in their field.  We prioritize grants that pioneer biological and physical science research and engineering, including the development of promising new technologies, instrumentation or methodologies.

Fit Self-Test: A Keck-ready idea can answer “yes” to most of the following questions:

• Does it discover how something works?
• Does it challenge an existing assumption?
• Is failure still scientifically valuable?
• Would federal agencies likely say, “too early”?

Keck Prioritizes:

• Work that is paradigm shifting, or challenges a prevailing hypothesis
• Work that creates a new field, or bridges disparate fields
• Work that departs from current approaches or challenges existing assumptions or frameworks
• Fundamental basic science questions focused on how systems work and the underlying mechanisms that govern them
• Discovery-driven logic
• Research where failure is informative

Keck Disfavors:

• Clinical or translational research (i.e., development of therapeutics)
• Outcome or patient impact framing
• Biomarkers as endpoints
• Engineering for its own sake
• Large mammal studies when they function as clinical or validation trials
• Already funded or derivative work

Important notes:

• Keck seeks to fund basic science that advances fundamental understanding
• Keck funds science, not engineering – unless engineering is essential to answer a scientific question
• Keck funds medical research, not clinical research
• Federal rejection is not required, but Keck fills gaps where federal agencies are too risk adverse.
• Keck does not consider tools, platforms, or methods as the primary idea. Tools, AI, and engineering may be supported only if required to answer a basic scientific question.

General Purpose
This is a two-year project cooperative agreement award. The general purpose of this project is to develop and facilitate a process evaluation for identified State Department of Corrections (DOC) agencies and their current halfway house decision-making processes. Review, assess and report those findings of the evaluation. The central aim is to identify precise operational mechanisms and understand various factors that influence these critical determinations.

The first year will focus on the development, collection and analysis of the data while year two will focus on working with subject matter experts to develop national recommendations based on the collected data, to enhance utilization of halfway houses. The diagnostic approach ensures that observed discrepancies between intended goals and actual results can be used to improve upon that decision-making point in state departments of corrections.
