The Secretary shall award grants to establish up to seven Graduate Automotive Technology Education Centers of Research Excellence (referred to in this section as Centers ) at an institution of higher education or a consortium thereof, to provide future generations of engineers and scientists with knowledge and skills in advanced automotive energy technologies. Each Center shall— promote the development of skilled engineering professionals who will overcome technical barriers and help commercialize the next generation of advanced automotive energy technologies; support graduate research and establish or expand course study and laboratory work; and test energy technologies that represent the scale of technology development beyond laboratory testing, but not yet advanced to testing under operational conditions at commercial scale.
In awarding grants for the operation of the Centers under this section, the Secretary shall ensure that— the portfolio of Centers includes a diverse representation of geographical regions and resources; each new Center demonstrates unique research capabilities, unique regional benefits, or new energy technology development opportunities; and applicants are institutions of higher education with established expertise in engineering and design for advanced automotive energy technologies or are involved in partnerships with such institutions.
In carrying out subsection (c), the Secretary shall ensure that grants for the operation of the Centers under this section are awarded to two or more entities that represent a Historically Black College or University, minority-serving institution, or Tribal College or University as the primary awardees or as members of a consortium. Each grant to operate a Center under this section shall be awarded for a term of not more than five years, subject to the availability of appropriations.
The Secretary may renew such five-year terms only once without competition limits, subject to a merit review process. Funds provided through a grant under this section may not be used for the construction of a physical building or facility to hold a Center unless the Secretary determines that such construction is necessary for reasons of safety or the use of relevant equipment.
