The funding flows through nine subcabinet offices and agencies—from the Office of Fossil Energy and Carbon Management to the Advanced Research Projects Agency–Energy (ARPA-E)—which in turn operate 24 subprograms focusing on discrete sectors and technologies. This data visualization provides the most recent details that are available for each of these funding streams and the programs they support.
