DOE Frequently Asked Questions

Who can apply for DOE grants?
DOE grants are available to universities, national laboratories, nonprofit organizations, state and local governments, and private companies. Many DOE programs specifically target small businesses through SBIR/STTR. Foreign entities can participate as subawardees.
What is ARPA-E funding?
ARPA-E funds high-risk, high-reward energy research that is too early for private investment. Awards typically range from $500,000 to $10 million over 2–3 years. Projects must demonstrate potential to be transformational and achieve market impact.
