ARPA-E, or Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy is an agency within the United States Department of Energy tasked with funding the research and development of advanced energy technologies.[1] The goal of the agency is to improve U.S. economic prosperity, national security, and environmental well being. ARPA-E typically funds short-term research projects with the potential for a transformative impact.[2] It is inspired by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA).[3]

The program directors at ARPA-E serve limited terms, in an effort to reduce bureaucracy and bias.[1] Since January 2023, the director is Evelyn Wang.[4]
