Buildings Upgrade Prize # Buildings Upgrade Prize Lead Performer: National Laboratory of the Rockies – Golden, CO Estimated Read Time 2 min **Project Website:**www.
heroX. com/buildingsUP **Lead Performer:** National Laboratory of the Rockies – Golden, CO **DOE Total Funding:** $24,000,000 for Phase 1 **FY23 DOE Funding:**$17,900,000 **Project Term:**January 1, 2023 - Current Developed by theU. S.
Department of Energy Building Technologies Office(BTO), Buildings UP aims to build capacity in communities to rapidly and equitably transform U.S. buildings.
Twenty to 60 teams will develop innovative initiatives for widespread building upgrades, leveraging the billions of dollars available through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), utility rebate programs, and many other funding sources, and capitalizing on this once-in-a-generation opportunity to equitably transform a wide variety of buildings across diverse geographies.
As teams progress through the prize, they will receive cash prizes and technical assistance to help bring their ideas to life. Upgrading existing buildings to efficiently run on clean energy will help address climate change. Building upgrades may include transitioning to efficient electric equipment, including heat pumps and heat pump water heaters, and improving building efficiency through measures such as insulation and air-sealing.
Together, these efforts will help reduce carbon emissions and energy costs, while improving indoor air quality and occupant comfort. **DOE Technology Manager:** Holly Carr **Lead Performer:** Sarah Truitt, National Laboratory of the Rockies Committed to Restoring America’s Energy Dominance.

DARPA pre-released Release 6 of its FY26 SBIR BAA on September 2, 2026. Five of the seven SBIR topics belong to the Biological Technologies Office, and four of those describe one continuous problem: keeping a casualty alive with no surgeon, no imaging, and no evacuation. Here are the award sizes, the Direct-to-Phase-II gates, and the sequencing DARPA is buying.
Read articleDARPA BTO pre-released four FY26 SBIR/STTR topics on April 30, 2026, with proposals due June 3. Two topics — SWiFT and EXPOSITION — offer Direct-to-Phase-II awards up to $1.5M, bypassing the standard Phase I gate. Here is what each topic is actually solving, why the DP2 structure matters, and how small biotech, surgical robotics, and battlefield-medicine teams should decide whether to compete.
Read articleOn June 3, 2026, four DARPA Biological Technologies Office SBIR topics close simultaneously — SWiFT, BARK, EXPOSITION, and Medical Swarm Robotics. Combined Phase I plus Phase II potential exceeds $6 million per company, and together they sketch a coherent strategy of distributed, autonomous, dual-species combat casualty care that depends on small businesses, not primes, to actually build.
