Opportunity Information: Apply for EAPSHA NOFO FY24 02
The U.S. Mission to China is offering a discretionary grant to support a Cleantech Business Case Competition to be held in East China, specifically in Shanghai or the provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, or Anhui. The project centers on running a student-focused business plan competition designed to surface practical, real-world clean technology ideas and, importantly, test whether those ideas can stand up as viable business cases. The goal is not only to highlight innovation in cleantech, but to push participants to explain how their concepts could realistically be developed, funded, commercialized, and deployed in the market.
This opportunity is listed under funding opportunity number EAPSHA NOFO FY24 02 and falls within business and commerce, education, energy, and environment activity areas (CFDA 19.040). The program is intended to identify concrete approaches for promoting the business rationale for clean technology, meaning proposals should emphasize commercialization pathways, market need, scalability, cost considerations, and adoption strategies rather than focusing only on technical novelty. Student participants are expected to present ideas that connect innovation with implementable plans, showing how clean technologies could move from concept to real deployment.
The maximum award amount is $40,000, and the agency expects to make one award. Eligible applicants include nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding higher education institutions), and individuals. Applications were originally due July 15, 2024, and the funding notice was created on May 9, 2024. Overall, the grant supports the design and delivery of a structured competition that brings students together to propose, refine, and present cleantech business plans, with the broader aim of strengthening the case for clean technology through credible, market-aware entrepreneurship.Apply for EAPSHA NOFO FY24 02
