About the Annual Merit Review
During the VTO AMR, advanced vehicle technologies projects funded by VTO are presented and reviewed for their merit. Reviewers come from a variety of backgrounds, including current and former members of the vehicles industry, academia, national laboratories, and government. Each reviewer evaluates a set of projects based on how much they contribute to or advance the Department of Energy’s missions and goals. Reviewers consider each project’s breadth, depth, appropriateness, accomplishments, and potential. The final reviews are described in VTO’s Annual Merit Review Results Reports.
