UTSR Request For Proposal
2007 University Turbine Systems Research RFP
The RFP is released for distribution only to points of contact at UTSR Performing Member Universities. If you are interested in becoming a UTSR Performing Member, please contact Dr. Richard A. Wenglarz, UTSR Research Manager.
The 2007 RFP solicits research proposals for the University Turbine
Systems Research (UTSR) program that is supporting the NETL Turbine Program. Consequently, the university
research emphasis in the RFP reflects the goals of the NETL Turbine Program. Awards resulting from this RFP will be contingent
on availability of DOE funding for the university program.
Proposals in accordance with the instructions in the RFP must be received by SCIES by close of
business, September 19, 2007. Late proposals will not be considered. SCIES would appreciate return of the “Intent to Propose” form, Attachment D, by close of business, September 3, 2007. Return of this form will help SCIES
plan an effective evaluation process.
Note that the RFP research topics are limited to those defined in Section 2.0. Two or three-year
programs may be submitted, but three year projects must have a completed set of deliverables by
the end of the second year. More details concerning three year projects are discussed in the RFP. It
must be understood that funding for any awarded projects will be approved on an annual fiscal year
basis. Prospective awardees will be selected by the Industrial Review Board in the fourth quarter of
2007. Any new awards should be announced in the first four months of 2008 and the projects
should begin at about the beginning of the summer term in 2008. Consequently, please use
May 1, 2008 as the start date in developing the proposal budget.
Teaming collaborations (with industry, DOE, DOD, NASA and other universities, including HBCU/ MI
schools) are strongly encouraged to leverage the R&D expertise and facilities available throughout
the country. Proposals should clearly identify all the participants in the planned program, but only one
principal investigator may be named. An updated list of the UTSR Performing Member Universities receiving the RFP is available for your use in developing
teaming arrangements.
Only Performing Member Universities are eligible to submit proposals to an RFP issued by the UTSR Program. If you are interested in becoming a UTSR Performing Member, please follow this link for information or contact Dr. Richard A. Wenglarz, UTSR Research Manager.
