Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) FY 2026 Phase II Release 2 is a grant from the U.S. Department of Energy that funds small businesses to continue developing innovations that demonstrated technical feasibility in a Phase I award. The program supports applied energy technology research and development across DOE mission areas. The median Phase II award is $1,100,000 over two years, with up to $1,000,000 for Fusion Energy Sciences AI/ML projects. Eligible applicants are small businesses that have successfully completed a DOE SBIR Phase I grant and demonstrated the technical merit of their proposed innovation. No deadline is currently specified.

Department of Energy (DOE) SBIR/STTR Phase I Release 2 is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). The DOE Phase I Release 2 typically includes topics such as 'Advanced Computing' and 'Earth Systems Modeling.' It supports the development of software and AI tools that enhance climate resilience and manage environmental data.
