The purpose of this RFI is to solicit input for a potential future ARPA-E research program on nonconventional fusion approaches. This is a new “hybrid” RFI format where traditional written responses are accepted as before, but with the new option of participating in a Polyplexus incubator online discussion and Ask-Me-Anything (AMA) session. Further instructions and details are provided in the RFI.
Responses to this RFI should be submitted in PDF format to the email address ARPA-E-RFI@hq.doe.gov by 5:00 PM Eastern Time on 4/30/2021 and/or via participation in the Polyplexus incubator (March 17 to April 7, 2021) and/or AMA (March 26, 2021, 1:00 to 3:00 PM Eastern Time). Participation via Polyplexus is strongly encouraged.
THIS IS A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION ONLY. THIS NOTICE DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENT (FOA). NO FOA EXISTS AT THIS TIME.
Respondents shall not include any information in the response to this RFI that could be considered proprietary or confidential.
