Concept paper due Jan. 20, 2022.

The objective of the ARPA-E SCALEUP 2021 FOA is to support the scaling of high-risk and potentially disruptive new technologies across the full spectrum of energy applications. This FOA focuses only on scale-up and pre-pilot projects of promising technologies that ARPA-E has funded – following highly competitive selection processes – and for which the scale-up would substantially build upon innovations achieved under the original ARPA-E award. Eligible projects will be based upon inventions that were conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the performance of work under the original ARPA-E award (“subject inventions”) with the intent to advance the innovative results to practical application. Only organizations leveraging subject inventions that were created during an ARPA-E award and reported in the iEdison system (with the exception of some software products (See Section III.B.) are eligible for funding under this program. SCALEUP 2021 Applicants are not required to have participated within the original ARPA-E award – alternatively, Applicants may be licensed or have purchased rights in such subject inventions, and thereby become eligible for the SCALEUP 2021 FOA.
