Grid Supply Chain Alternatives to Lead Energy Dominance (SCALED)
Cooperative agreement funding to develop and deploy domestic grid supply chain and foundational grid technology capabilities that improve energy infrastructure resilience and U.S. leadership.
⚑ Eligibility text was not provided in the notice excerpt; direct university eligibility cannot be confirmed. · Large ceiling award; likely program-specific cooperative agreement with substantial sponsor involvement.
This is an applied grid-technology and supply-chain engineering initiative, not a social-science, risk-perception, or policy-evaluation program. The team’s strongest lines are public opinion, hazard communication, energy/nuclear acceptance, and education-policy evaluation, which are only tangentially related at best.
