Topic Basics

• Topics are created by DOE program managers and define important

technology breakthroughs needed in R&D areas that support the DOE mission

• Topics are organized by DOE Program Office
• DOE program managers are listed with each subtopic

– Questions to DOE program managers are limited to clarification of the topic and subtopic (including references) – Clarification is provided to help you determine whether your technology fits within the topic and subtopic – You may communicate with these topic managers from the release of topics until the grant application due date – The decision to apply is yours
