DOE announces new funding opportunities for solid-state lighting

The new ARRA funds will support projects for Core Technology Research (round 6), Product Development (round 6) and Manufacturing Support (round 1). The US Department of Energy (DOE) has announced three Solid-State Lighting (SSL) funding opportunities Underunder from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA), DOE seeks applications for projects to advance research, development, and market adoption of SSL technology.
President Barack Obama and Energy Secretary Steven Chu announced a renewed focus on energy-efficiency on June 29 (see Lighting to the fore in Obamas energy-efficiency efforts ), with $50 million allocated to SSL projects.
The third is directed toward two existing DOE SSL R&D program areas, now on Round 6, ie Core Technology Research and Product Development. A third new program area will focus on accelerating SSL manufacturing improvements that lower the cost and enhance the performance of SSL products.
DOE is soliciting SSL projects in the following categories: Core technology projects focus on applied research for technology development, with particular emphasis on meeting efficiency, performance, and cost targets. Selected projects will fill technology gaps or provide enabling knowledge or data. Focus on using the knowledge gained from basic or applied research to develop or improve commercial viable materials, devices, or systems. Selected projects will develop targeted market applications with fully defined price, efficacy, and other performance parameters necessary for success of the proposed product. The relevant projects will improve the cost reductions of improvements in manufacturing equipment, processes, or monitoring techniques. Selected projects will address technical challenges that must be overcome before prices fall to a level where SSL can compete with existing lighting on a first-cost basis. More information on these The funding opportunities are available from the DOE SSL website .
