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.
