Government institutional funding

A government agency that wants to fund the Alliance typically does so through a grant or cooperative agreement (DOE, ARPA-E), an Other Transaction Agreement, or — when procuring a specific deliverable — a FAR-based contract, rather than membership dues. Individual government employees are welcome as Individual members. Talk to us about sponsorship →
