ARPA-E Frequently Asked Questions
We are an entity of the United States owned by a foreign company. Am I eligible to participate in ARPA-E?
The lead organization that will enter into the agreement with ARPA-E must be a U.S. entity. Foreign entities (entities that are directly or indirectly owned or controlled by a foreign company or government) may only participate as part of collaboration, consortium, or other teaming arrangement, and may not lead the team.
A minimum of 90% of the work, as defined by total project costs, must be performed on U.S. soil, which includes the United States proper and its territories.
If a foreign entity participates in the proposed R&D project, no more than 25% of the ARPA-E funds may be expended by the combination of all foreign entities on the project (excluding equipment that is not available in the United States). This restriction applies to the combined performance of the foreign entities, regardless of whether the work is performed in the United States or a foreign location.
Does Sandia count as a partner on this or does it have to be a university/ private corporation?
LANL can partner with Sandia, but neither LANL nor Sandia can lead the proposal effort. Only a university, non-profit or private corporation (or consortium of these) can lead the project. DOE national labs can participate only as a team member.
