I suspect that many interested parties on Vortex would like to "cut to the chase" and go onto the funding steps ASAP. Here is the portal for funding opportunities:
https://arpa-e-foa.energy.gov/ BTW these categories are not rigid and it is possible to tailor many ideas which are only tangentially related to LERN into an area where LENR is not mentioned at all in the FOA but hydrogen or catalysis is the main focus. In fact - going back 7 or 8 years ago, Ron Clark and myself won a large ARPA-E grant for research which was based on a technique having significant LENR possibilities (mechanochemistry) and the use of monel as a catalyst. However, the results we achieved - although positive were not deemed to be commercializable and we did not proceed to Phase 2. We did see a runaway event howerver. It could be well worth your time to try to squeeze your ideas into a related project which they are favoring at the moment if such is possible. Jones
