 | ARPA-E announces request for proposals |
After many years of uncertainty, the US Department of Energy finally launched its new program, ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy).
ARPA-E was designated back in 2007, but to certain extent, APRA-E was finally and formally described in President Obama’s speech on April 27, 2009 to the National Academy of Science. A handy summary comes from the ARPA-E website:
“ARPA-E will uniquely focus on high risk, high payoff concepts – technologies promising true energy transformations. The Department invests heavily in basic research and ARPA-E is not intended to augment these efforts.”
Most exciting is the recent request for proposals announcement. Visit ARPA online to learn more.
