What is ARPA-E? The Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) is an agency within the U. S. Department of Energy that: ‣ Provides Research and Development funding for high-risk, high-reward, transformational ideas ‣ Focuses on technologies that could fundamentally change the way we get, use and store energy ‣ Accelerates energy innovations that will create a more secure, affordable, and sustainable American energy future 1

History of ARPA-E In 2007, The National Academies recommended Congress establish an Advanced Research Projects Agency within the U. S. Department of Energy to fund advanced energy R&D. American Recovery & Reinvestment Act Signed – Providing ARPA-E its first appropriations of $400 million, which funded ARPA-E's first projects 2007 Rising Above the Gathering Storm Published - warning policymakers that U. S. advantages in science and technology had begun to erode America COMPETES Act Signed – authorizing the creation of ARPA-E 2009 2018 660+ Awards 47 Programs Current Funding: $353 M (FY 18) 2
