The Advanced Research Projects Agency – Energy (ARPA-E) was established in 2009 to address barriers to the development of transformational science and technology solutions for energy and environmental challenges, with goals of increasing U.S. energy and economic security and ensuring U.S. leadership in advanced energy technologies. As requested in the Energy Act of 2020, this study will evaluate how well ARPA-E is achieving its mission and goals by analyzing its operations and assessing the impacts of its programs. This will be the second National Academies review of ARPA-E, following the first review that was published in 2017.
