Do you have ideas on how to solve the critical energy issues America faces? Ideas that involve technology so complex that support is hard to come by? The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) has issued an OPEN Funding Opportunity Announcement to address unique high-impact questions/concepts.

Areas of research responsive to this intended FOA include, but are not limited to, electricity generation; electricity transmission, storage, and distribution; energy efficiency; energy related emissions; transportation. For more specific information on what interests Program Directors and Fellows, follow the ongoing ARPA-E webinar series.

ARPA-E encourages eligible parties from the scrappiest start up to established players who have a creative, well-thought-out concept for energy innovation to apply for our funding opportunities. The OPEN programs are an open invitation. In the event that a FOA is issued, potential applicants must refer to the final FOA for instructions on submitting an application and for the terms and conditions of funding. Learn more about the ARPA-E funding process with Dr. Eric Rohlfing. Concept papers are due on April 6, 2021.
