DOE Announces Research, Technology, and Economic Security (RTES) Framework (Webinar Information Included)
Announcements
For applicants and recipients of Department of Energy (DOE) financial assistance and loan funding, a newly published “Research Technology and Economic Security Framework” highlights DOE’s goals, process, high-level risk factors, and commitment to mitigation when assessing RTES risk.
This framework codifies a harmonized approach across all DOE/NNSA funding offices, while also ensuring right-sized requirements for early-stage Research and Development (R&D) in the academic setting, applied R&D stage projects, and Demonstration and Deployment (D&D) stage projects.
To assist the applicant and recipient community in understanding and adapting to the recently published framework, DOE will provide webinars to introduce the approach and answer questions. These webinars will take place December 11th at 3:00pm (ET) and December 16 at 2:00pm (ET). Registration links for upcoming webinars are available on the RTES Website: Research, Technology & Economic Security | Department of Energy
In the coming months, DOE intends to publish additional resources that build on this framework. Once those subsequent resources are released, DOE will schedule listening sessions to gather feedback from the community. The Department recognizes that risk factors will change over time, as DOE adapts to changes in the geopolitical landscape, evolving congressional requirements, and community input. The Department encourages the applicant and recipient community to engage with DOE’s RTES Office on the recently published framework, to inform forthcoming guidance and resources.
