Opportunity snapshot. This Grants.gov announcement - Request for Information (RFI) Plant Genetic Engineering for Energy Applications - is cataloged under number DE-FOA-0003470 and tied to CFDA assistance listing 81.135, posted by Advanced Research Projects Agency Energy. Grants.gov currently shows the opportunity as closed, first posted on October 10, 2024. The funding category is Discretionary, delivered as a cooperative agreement.
Award economics. The award range on file is Varies by applicant. Cost sharing is not required, so applicants do not need to commit matching funds to be competitive on this opportunity. Federal award ranges are often upper bounds; actual allocations reflect program appropriations, the strength of the applicant pool, and the evaluation committee's scoring.
Deadline and action path. This opportunity closed on November 11, 2024. Future funding cycles may be published under the same CFDA number, so monitoring the parent program page is the most reliable way to catch re-announcements. Every Grants.gov submission requires an active SAM.gov registration and a Unique Entity ID. Review the Eligibility section below carefully, federal eligibility categories (nonprofit, state or local government, tribal, individual, educational institution, small business) have distinct registration and reporting requirements. Pre-application outreach to the listed agency contact is permitted and often welcomed, it helps clarify scope and scoring priorities.

Description
This is a Request for Information (RFI) only. This RFI is not accepting applications for financial assistance. The purpose of this RFI is solely to solicit input for ARPA-E consideration to inform the possible formulation of future programs. The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit input for a potential ARPA-E program focused on the development of tools to enable plant genetic engineering and synthetic biology. The goals for this potential program include the evaluation of technologies capable of: 1. Accelerating plant genetic modifications; 2. Increasing the range of genetic modifications possible; and 3. Decreasing the variability and reducing the difficulty of regenerating plants after genetic modifications. ARPA-E seeks input from plant scientists, plant geneticists, molecular biologists, synthetic biologists, crop breeders, and robotics and machine learning engineers. Additionally, ARPA-E seeks input from other stakeholders in the plant biotechnology ecosystem, including seed producers, growers, plant transformation centers, and biotechnology companies. The questions listed are intended to assist relevant stakeholders in providing input on: • Technological approaches to accelerating plant genetic engineering for traits of relevance to ARPA-E’s statutory goals; • Success metrics to quantify the impact of new technological approaches to plant genetic engineering on innovation and discovery, trait development, and commercialization of improved crop varieties; • Approaches to evaluating the technical feasibility of these strategies; and • Factors for widespread adoption of these new technologies.
