The SunShot Initiative<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTIwMjE1LjU2MDM3MDEmbWVzc2FnZWlkPU1EQi1QUkQtQlVMLTIwMTIwMjE1LjU2MDM3MDEmZGF0YWJhc2VpZD0xMDAxJnNlcmlhbD0xNjg3Nzg2MSZlbWFpbGlkPWp0ZWRlc2NvQHVoLmVkdSZ1c2VyaWQ9anRlZGVzY29AdWguZWR1JmZsPSZleHRyYT1NdWx0aXZhcmlhdGVJZD0mJiY=&&&105&&&http://www.eere.energy.gov/solar/SunShot/>is
an aggressive R&D plan aimed at developing solar energy technologies
to
meet a levelized cost of energy target of 6 cents/kWh without subsidy by
the year 2020. Toward this goal, the MURI solicitation seeks
multidisciplinary-university-team-based applicants to develop innovative
heat-transfer fluids with aggressive technical metrics for use in high
temperature CSP systems. The proposals are due *April 19, 2012* and further
details on the application are available on the MURI: HOT Fluids funding
