In response to the high demand and overwhelming evidence of public need, the Department of Energy (DOE) more than doubled the funding for Round 1 of the competition from $80 million to $178 million. After extensive review of a highly competitive field, DOE identified 24 Selectees that demonstrated significant technical merit and responsiveness to the goals of the funding opportunity.


Congratulations to our Selectees!
