Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Programs: Wind | Department of Energy Small Business Innovation Research and Small Business Technology Transfer Programs: Wind Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) are U.S. Government programs in which federal agencies with large research and development (R&D) budgets set aside a small fraction of their funding for competitions among small businesses only.
Small businesses that win awards in these programs keep the rights to any technology developed and are encouraged to commercialize the technology. Advancing Technology for Offshore Wind Resource Characterization Development of a low-cost marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) measurement system which could serve as a core element of a buoy-based data collection network for the offshore renewable energy industry is needed.
Projects are sought to develop a commercially viable, buoy-based remote sensing technology for MABL characterization for offshore wind applications. Key requirements are that measurements must support profiles of wind speed and direction, temperature, humidity and atmospheric stability up to heights of 200m, with data sampling and communication rates appropriate for advanced rapid refresh weather modeling.
In addition, the sensor package size, weight and power consumption should be suitable for deployment on existing met-ocean buoy platforms. The proposed measurement technology should serve as a lower-cost alternative to existing measurement technologies. Applicants are required to justify the economic viability of the proposed package assuming near term (<5 years) industry deployment for project resource characterization.

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs fund small businesses to conduct R&D with potential for commercialization that meets DOE mission-specific needs. DOE collaborates with 13 program offices to develop over 60 technical topics and 250 subtopics spanning energy production, energy efficiency, fundamental sciences, energy storage, cybersecurity, environmental management, and defense nuclear nonproliferation. Funding takes the form of competitive grants awarded across multiple phases, from proof-of-concept through commercialization. Eligible applicants are U.S. small businesses; Phase I and Phase II solicitations are announced annually by the DOE Office of Science.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs: Wind - Advancing Technology for Offshore Wind Resource Characterization is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Wind Program. This DOE SBIR/STTR topic seeks innovations for offshore wind resource characterization, specifically the development of a commercially viable, buoy-based remote sensing technology for Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer (MABL) characterization. Key requirements include measurements of wind speed, direction, temperature, humidity, and atmospheric stability, and a sensor package suitable for existing met-ocean buoy platforms.
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Programs: Wind is sponsored by U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy's Wind Program. This program seeks applications for innovations that significantly advance the goal of large cost reductions in the deployment of U.S. wind power resources by exploring technologies that enable the production of larger wind turbine rotors through active load alleviation. It specifically calls for the development of a low-cost marine atmospheric boundary layer (MABL) measurement system which could serve as a core element of a buoy-based data collection network for the offshore renewable energy industry.
The federal clean energy funding landscape has been systematically dismantled in 2026. Here is what survived, what is gone for good, and where clean energy researchers and startups should look now.
Read articleThe RUS Powering Affordable Reliable Technology (PART) Energy Program takes Letters of Interest until October 9, 2026. Up to 40% of each loan can be forgiven, awards run $1M to $100M, and USDA describes eligible generation as hydro, geothermal, and biomass — even though Section 317 of the RE Act names solar and wind.
Read articleOn August 24, 2026, DOE and SBA signed a memorandum of agreement creating the Small Business Investment Company-Energy Initiative, pointing a $58 billion SBA-leveraged investment program at DOE's technology priorities. No application, no NOFO, no deadline. Here is how SBIC capital actually works, why a January 2026 rule change made this possible, and what a company sitting on a DOE Phase II award should do about it.
