Category – Rural Business Opportunity

Description – The RBOG program promotes sustainable economic development in rural communities with exceptional needs through provision of training and technical assistance for business development, entrepreneurs, and economic development officials and to assist with economic development planning. Rural Development is participating in the Investing in Manufacturing Communities Partnership (IMCP), which is a new Administration-wide initiative that will accelerate the resurgence of manufacturing and help cultivate an environment for businesses to create well-paying manufacturing jobs in regions across the country. The IMCP is designed to reward communities that demonstrate best practices in attracting and expanding manufacturing by using long-term planning that integrates targeted investments in workforce training, infrastructure, research, and other key assets. The IMCP is being initiated in FY 2013 as EDA, USDA, SBA and EPA each provide funding for regional implementation strategy grants. The agencies will allocate funding through existing programs to advance this critical national priority. Strategies developed by these grants, as well as existing strategies and those otherwise under development, will enhance regions’ efforts to compete for future proposed large scale IMCP grants (10 to 100 times the size of the implementation strategy grants). These grants will be given to communities with the best strategies for attracting private investment. IMCP partner agencies will coordinate funding across agencies in order to leverage complementary activities while also preventing duplication of efforts.

Category – Support for Crowdsourcing Vehicle Design Competitions Grant

Description – ARPA-E is considering a prize based design competition 1) to produce conceptual designs of vehicles and 2) to propose cost effective pathways for the production and the assembly of future lightweight vehicles, especially those that require both low capital and operational costs for low volume manufacturing. Goals of the competition would include identifying optimal vehicle design possibilities and critical candidate technologies for future research investments by ARPA-E and other government agencies, and by industry and academia. Through this RFI ARPA-E seeks to identify organizations capable of working with ARPA-E to leverage a crowdsourcing community for a vehicle design challenge. It is expected that capable organizations will have the requisite infrastructure and resources needed to collaborate with ARPA-E in carrying out such community administration activities as: technical brief development to the community, correspondence from the community, tracking projects within the community, judging submissions, IP management, and providing expert analysis of the challenge's competitive developments. It is also expected that capable organizations will have demonstrated abilities in advertising and disseminating challenges of this nature and executing with ARPA-E under tight time constraints.
