Department of Defense funding under Recovery Act
The Department of Defense is accepting proposals for projects that will be funded under the agency's "Near Term Energy-Efficient Technologies Recovery Plan." The program is funded through the money the agency received from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The program will focus on investigating energy technologies that can satisfy capability gaps, present opportunities for military applications, or spur initiatives within industry. The program will fund 51 research and development projects that focus on efforts such as engine efficiencies, cost-effective solar energy photovoltaics, fuel cells, alternative fuel testing, mobile waste-to-energy, and tactical micro-grids. Proposals will be accepted and funding awarded on an ongoing basis. Download more information.
