In this Request for Proposals (RFP), the Office of the Vice President for Energy and Climate (OVPEC) seeks innovative, creative, and translation-oriented ideas for building resilient critical minerals supply chains. This RFP will support early-stage efforts from MIT principal investigators (PIs) and their teams to develop transformative concepts that address barriers across the supply chain for critical energy and defense end uses. 

The research will be supported through 6-month grants of up to $100K each. The OVPEC is also eager to attract interest from a wide range of departments and disciplines.

Please download this PDF, check out the submission page, or reach out to MIT Climate HQ (climatehq@mit.edu) for more details. 

The application deadline is Thursday, August 28.
