[Stoves] Gasifier collaboration for Fwd: Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves Request for Applications - Field Studies

[Paul Anderson]

Stovers,

If you and your organization area considering applying for the GACC 
grants, and if you might utilize some additional persons on your 
proposal about gasifier stoves, please contact me directly (off list).   
I and some of my close co-workers on gasifier stoves around the world 
might fill an important niche on your team, including some additional 
gasifier stove designs with great potential, and some valuable contacts 
with people with field studies.

Paul

Subject: Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves Request for Applications - 
Field Studies
To:


Dear Colleagues,

The Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves 
<http://www.cleancookstoves.org/> has released a Request for 
Applications (RFA) for /Field Studies to Evaluate Performance, Use and 
Adoption of Clean Cookstoves and Fuels. /

This Request for Applications (RFA) will support field studies to 
evaluate cookstove use and adoption, with a focus on technologies with 
promising laboratory performance but limited field data, including but 
not limited to gasifier and forced-draft cookstoves and liquid and gas 
fuels.  Field data for cookstoves that also provide heat and for solar 
cookers have also been identified as a knowledge gap and will be 
supported under this RFA.  Proposals should include activities to 
improve definitions, methods, and metrics for assessing cookstove and 
fuel adoption, usage, and acceptance that can be applied broadly.  
Additional goals for the field studies include improving understanding 
of kitchen management and “stove stacking” and improving the 
correspondence between lab and field studies.

Under RFA 12-4, at least $400,000 will be available to support field 
studies.  The Alliance expects to fund 2 - 3 ten-month studies, up to 
$200,000 per study, dependent on the scope and scale of the proposals. 
The funded studies will span a range of geographical regions and must 
focus on potential priority countries and regions for the Alliance 
(including Bangladesh, China, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, 
Indonesia, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, Rwanda, Tanzania, Uganda, and 
Vietnam).  Studies in other Andean countries in South America will also 
be considered. The Alliance may fund additional studies based on the 
quality of proposals and availability of additional funding.  These 
studies should be conducted in collaboration with Alliance partners 
actively involved in the implementation process.  Opportunities for cost 
sharing and leveraging equipment and funds are actively encouraged.

*The deadline for submission of letters of intent is August 26, 2012 
11:59 pm EDT. The deadline for submission of full proposals is September 
23, 2012 11:59 pm EDT.*

*Please help us to publicize this RFA by cross-posting / sharing with 
colleagues! *

Best regards,

Ranyee
