Deadline: 5-Dec-22
The Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) is issuing, on behalf of the Water Power Technologies Office (WPTO) through its Hydropower Program Environmental R&D and Hydrologic Systems Science Activity Area, a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) titled “Advancing Fish Passage and Protection Technologies.”
This funding opportunity seeks to advance the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of innovative fish passage and protection technologies by providing data through testing to verify technologies’ biological effects and performance. Technology innovations include novel solutions that have already established proof-of-concept but require testing as a next step toward market adoption, as well as advancements to existing technologies that show potential to reduce negative impacts to fish, increase technology performance, dramatically reduce costs and/or present novel applications (such as use for different fish species, environmental conditions, or types of infrastructure) but require testing to quantify those improvements.
