Solid State Lighting Manufacturing Research and Development - Round 3

The objective of this Announcement is to develop or improve commercially viable materials, devices, or systems for Solid-State Lighting (SSL) general illumination applications. Specific emphasis shall be on achieving the performance and cost goals stated in the 2011 Solid-State Lighting Research and Development: Multi-Year Program Plan (MYPP) which can be found at http://apps1.eere.energy.gov/buildings/publications/pdfs/ssl/ssl_mypp2011_web.pdf. Successful approaches shall demonstrate a technology path that moves beyond the current performance levels detailed in the MYPP towards the future performance targets identified for the respective priority metric. Potential Applicants are strongly encouraged to review and understand the 2011 MYPP.
