Graphite Research and Development Grant - CSIRO Graphite Research and Development Grant The Graphite Research and Development Grant provides Australian small to medium enterprises SMEs with funding and access to CSIRO experts on collaborative R&D projects. The Expression of Interest for the Graphite Research & Development Grant Opportunity has now closed.
Please contact the team for any questions or assistance via email - graphitegrants@csiro. au The Graphite Research and Development (R&D) Grant provides Australian small to medium enterprises (SMEs) with funding and access to CSIRO experts on collaborative R&D projects.
These projects will focus on developing innovative technologies and processes essential for natural and synthetic graphite production, particularly for battery applications. This initiative will support development of a sustainable graphite industry in Australia, which is essential to meeting the growing global demand for battery anode materials.
Australia is positioned to become a key supplier to the USA and other global markets by capitalising on its natural graphite deposits. This program supports R&D in areas like alternative feedstocks, efficient recycling methods, and purification techniques, contributing to a cleaner, more sustainable graphite production process.
Watch the Graphite R&D Grant Opportunity webinar hosted by the program team to understand the grant details and learn more about collaborating with CSIRO. Applications will close on 17 April 2026 , or earlier if the total available funding is exhausted. Eligible SMEs can access between $10,000 - $50,000.
Businesses are required to contribute funding to the graphite R&D project that is at least equal to, or greater than, the amount of the graphite R&D grant. Eligible SMEs can combine this grant with the CSIRO Kick-Start Program to unlock up to an additional $50,000 to conduct a collaborative research project with CSIRO.
To be eligible for this grant opportunity, you must: Be incorporated in Australia and have an Australian Business Number (ABN) and Australian Company Number (ACN) Employ fewer than 200 people Eligible Australian SMEs must be committed to pursuing international opportunities including the United States, via R&D in: Alternative feedstocks for synthetic graphite Recycling methods for graphite in batteries Characterisation of natural graphite ore Purification and spheronisation techniques Coating of spheronised materials Scale-up of graphite processing for battery anode activities Other innovation for efficient and effective production of graphite materials and downstream processing.

Title III of the Defense Production Act lets the Pentagon hand non-dilutive capital to companies that expand domestic production of defense-critical materials and manufacturing — through a white-paper-first pathway run by the Air Force Research Laboratory (FA8650-19-S-5010) rather than a conventional grant competition. But the core DPA authorities sunset September 30, 2026 absent reauthorization, and the standing white-paper window has moved in and out of suspension. Here is how the Title III mechanism actually works, why it rewards companies that lead with a supply-chain vulnerability, and how to position before the authority cliff.
Read articleThe Department of Energy's Office of Critical Minerals and Energy Innovation is spending to break America's 95% dependence on foreign rare earths. The strategy is unusual: recover critical materials from the waste streams of coal plants, smelters, and refineries that already exist. Here is the full funding architecture — the $75M just awarded, the $500M battery-materials round, the $1B pipeline behind them — and how an industrial operator should position for what comes next.
Read articleAmerica's Seed Fund powered by NSF reopened for FY2026 with two parallel solicitations: NSF 26-510 for deep technologies and a new pilot, NSF 26-511, dedicated to scientific instrumentation. Project Pitch is the mandatory first gate, the first full-proposal deadline is July 27, 2026, and Phase I runs up to $305K. Here is how the topic-agnostic NSF model differs from agency-directed SBIR — and how to use the new pilot.
