Description
The Department of Energy (DOE) invites eligible Phase I and Phase II awardees to apply for Phase II awards under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). The purpose of an Initial Phase II award is to perform research and development (R&D) required to meet DOE objectives. The FOA is supplemental to the FY 2023 SBIR/STTR Phase I Release 2 FOA.
Key aspects of the opportunity include:
• Initial Phase II awards will be made to perform R&D required to meet DOE objectives.
• Second Phase II awards (Phase IIA and IIB) will be made to awardees with active Phase II awards.
• Phase IIA awards will support new R&D tasks aligned with the original scope of work.
• Phase IIB awards will support new R&D tasks that extend beyond the scope of the original Phase II award.
• Phase IIC awards will support research and development towards commercialization with matching funds from a third-party investor.
• Applications must include a project narrative, budget, and other required documents.
• The DOE anticipates making approximately 105 awards under this FOA, with a median award size of $1,100,000.
