DPA Title III Funding Opportunities

Helping critical technology, energy, and infrastructure innovators expand U.S. manufacturing capacity and strengthen essential supply chains.

What is DPA Title III?

The Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III program helps build, expand, modernize, and sustain domestic industrial capabilities that are essential to U.S. national security. It is designed to address critical production shortfalls, reduce reliance on foreign sources, and strengthen the resilience of the U.S. defense industrial base.

DPA Title III funds projects that create or expand domestic capacity for critical materials, technologies, components, and industrial resources required for national defense. Priority areas can span defense systems, life sciences, critical minerals, microelectronics, energy storage, advanced manufacturing, maritime industries, and other strategic supply-chain needs.
