What makes an ARPA-E project?
1. Impact
•
High impact on ARPA-E mission areas
•
Credible path to market
•
Large commercial application
2. Transform
• Challenges what is possible
• Disrupts existing learning curves
• Leaps beyond today’s technologies
3. Bridge
• Between basic science and applied technology
• Not researched or funded elsewhere
• Catalyzes new interest and investment
4. Team
• Best-in-class people
• Cross-disciplinary skill sets
• Translation oriented
