The Summer Scholar will examine both successful and unsuccessful commercialization outcomes, including SCALEUP alumni and projects that followed alternative pathways, to identify recurring technical, financial, customer, partnership, manufacturing, and market-adoption factors. ARPA-E's Summer Scholars Program gives students the chance to help prepare ARPA-E's technologies for market adoption and receive mentorship from ARPA-E's Technology-to-Market team, the ARPA-E Program Directors, and ARPA-E Fellows.
