Every March, the National Defense Center for Energy and Environment program requests that DoD personnel submit proposals of mature technology solutions and processes that address high-priority environmental, safety, occupational health, energy, and climate change challenges. Proposals should enhance readiness, meet sustainability goals, and support warfighters at home and abroad for the DoD.
Selected proposals demonstrate, validate and transition commercially available off-the-shelf and recent laboratory innovations for military application at DoD installations. Once the technology has proven to work in its final form and under expected conditions, they are transitioned to the Services, other federal agencies, and the public. NDCEE accepts proposals from academia, private industry, and non-DoD government agencies. However, a DoD agency must serve as the project lead and assist in acquiring a transition partner to ensure the technology is available to the warfighter as quickly as possible.
Inside the program, there are no specific statements of need; however, proposals must meet the basic eligibility requirements to be considered.
- Budget Activity 4 eligible
- Starting Technology Readiness Level of 5-6, with a proposed exit level of 8-9
- Valid Multi-Service need (a need by two or more services)
- Signed technology transition agreement, if funded
- Project completion within two years of receipt of funds
The Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army (Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health) is designated by the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Installations, Energy, and Environment) as the NDCEE DoD lead agent and U.S. Army Environmental Command at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas, provides NDCEE program management.
To be eligible for the NDCEE program, personnel must submit their proposal during NDCEE’s call for proposals cycle, from March 1 through April 1, 2023. For additional information on NDCEE or how to submit a nomination package, please visit the website: https://www.denix.osd.mil/ndcee/.
