Funding Opportunity Announcements and Grants | Department of Energy Funding Opportunity Announcements and Grants SMALL BUSINESS INNOVATION RESEARCH (SBIR) AND SMALL BUSINESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER (STTR) PROGRAMS The SBIR/STTR programs are U.S. Government programs, intended to help certain small businesses conduct Research and Development (R&D).
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) SBIR/STTR programs provide grant opportunities to small businesses performing R&D in support of the DOE mission. Grants are competitively awarded for the development and commercialization of new ideas and innovative research. To date, DOE SBIR/STTR programs have provided funding to thousands of small U.
S. businesses, including newly established small businesses across the country. Projects must have the potential for commercialization and meet specific DOE mission-specific R&D needs.
The DOE Office of SBIR/STTR Programs works collaboratively with 13 program offices throughout the DOE. Each DOE program office considers its high priority research needs and program mission, as well as the Department’s goals in developing their SBIR/STTR research topics. The specific research topics selected for the SBIR and STTR programs are developed by DOE technical program managers.
DOE annually awards approximately 400 Phase I and 200 Phase II awards with an annual budget more than $300 million and offers more than sixty technical topics and 250 subtopics, spanning research areas that support the DOE mission in Energy Production, Energy Use, Fundamental Energy Sciences, Environmental Management, and Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation.
In addition to the DOE’s SBIR/STTR program, the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) maintains another SBIR/STTR program, which is part of their Funding Opportunity Announcements (FOAs) list . FUNDING OPPORTUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS (FOAs) ACROSS DOE FOAs are the publicly available documents that contain the official information about Federal grants, including goals, deadlines, eligibility, and reporting.
Using FOAs, the Federal grant-making agencies announce grant availability and provide instructions on how to apply for the grants. DOE’s Office of Science (SC) leads the DOE in supporting fundamental scientific research of energy and physical sciences.
Please visit the clearing house for the Office of Science FOAs or the other DOE program offices’ FOAs below: Office of Nuclear Energy FOAs Office of Fossil Energy FOAs Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy FOAs DOE supports several other grants, loan, and financing programs.
Learn more about these programs and how they can help you, whether you are a startup energy business looking to launch a pilot project, a company with proven technology that needs help reaching commercial scale, or a state, local or tribal Government looking for funding resources for energy projects.
The Office of EERE accelerates development and facilitates deployment of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies and market-based solutions that strengthen U.S. energy security, environmental quality, and economic vitality.

Heather Gerken presents a revamped Ford Foundation strategy to trustees this fall. In January, staff split into three units — one refining the new strategy, one maintaining current grants, and one designing tie-off funding for grantees who are not in Ford's future. The new strategy runs from January 2028. Here is what that 24-month gap means for grantees and everyone who wanted to become one.
Read articleFederal appropriators added $15 billion in new Pell Grant funding to the FY 2026 appropriations package on top of the standard appropriation level — a response to a structural shortfall that CBO scored at $5.4 billion in FY 2026 and $11.5 billion in FY 2027. The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix. Meanwhile, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act expanded eligibility to short-term Workforce Pell programs, adding $2 to $6 billion in new costs. The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.
