NETL has launched a landing page through which UCFER RFP 06 applicants can ask questions about the RFP language and NETL collaboration capabilities. All questions will be forwarded to the Technology Manager/Core Competency Leader upon receipt. The Q&A period has been extended until May 18, 2020 at 4:59pm EST. To ensure the integrity of the application process, NETL cannot tell applicants what to propose. NETL can only clarify RFP language and research capabilities. To access the portal, please click here (https://netl.doe.gov/form/ucfer-applicant-questions)*. NETL will provide the answers to UCFER's OMT at least twice during this two-week period and OMT will post the questions and answers on UCFER's website upon receipt.

*Note: NETL portal works best with Chrome browser.
