The agency decided to create the OPEN+ cohorts—drawing from the large and impressive OPEN 2018 applicant pool—to focus on particular topics in energy where ARPA-E sees significant opportunities to innovate and create new communities. ARPA-E plans to announce a total of nine OPEN+ cohorts throughout late 2018 and early 2019.
