DOE Awards $100 Million for Energy Frontier Research Centers

U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette announced $100 million in funding for 10 Energy Frontier Research Centers (EFRCs) to accelerate the scientific breakthroughs needed to build a twenty-first-century energy economy and strengthen U.S. economic leadership and energy security. In recognition of the importance of teams in energy research, the EFRC program brings together researchers from multiple disciplines and institutions. The current cohort of EFRCs includes six new centers and renewals of two existing ones, all to be funded for up to four years. An additional two existing centers were awarded two-year extensions to support the completion of research in progress.
