Mizuno informed me that the Japanese government agency NEDO has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) for projects in cold fusion. The date is 2015, title "Energy / Environment New Technology Program"
http://www.nedo.go.jp/content/100754489.pdf Item D4 on p. 13 here apparently refers to cold fusion: "Phenomenon analysis and methods of control of the new thermal energy source from metal hydrides." Mizuno thinks it is a day late and a dollar short. - Jed
