Concept Paper Applicants will not be invited to submit Full Applications if their Concept Papers:
3. Are not based on sound scientific principles (e.g., violates a law of thermodynamics);
4. Propose basic research aimed at discovery and fundamental knowledge generation;
5. Propose demonstration projects of existing technologies;
6. Propose incremental improvements to existing technologies;
7. Propose a concept without the potential to be disruptive in nature, as described in Section I.A;
Some of these points will make it difficult/impossible for anyone to get funded?
