EPRI is soliciting proposals from graduate and undergraduate universities to focus research that will transform the energy industry. We encourage proposals that are focused on exploring and/or accelerating:

• Decarbonized (clean) energy solutions (i.e. Methods and technologies to decarbonize energy), or
• Economy-wide decarbonization that impacts the energy industry.

This call for proposals aims to catalyze clean energy research, development, demonstration, and deployment activities at colleges and universities around the globe by awarding research funding and providing access to EPRI’s expertise. The capability of universities to transfer ongoing cutting-edge research into educational programs is essential to enhancing the skill sets of future engineers, while driving a collaborative dialogue around energy. The desired outcome of this solicitation is to help prepare students to meet the technological challenges of the evolving power system and inform the energy transition. Research, development, demonstration, and deployment activities funded under this opportunity will support technology innovation and collaboration in pursuit of economy-wide decarbonization.

Application Deadline: June 1, 2025
