Opportunity Summary:
The Department of Energy (DOE) released this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) for FY 2010 SBIR/STTR Phase II Grant Applications under Funding Opportunity Number DE FOA 0000350. It is a discretionary grant opportunity focused on science and technology and other research and development, administered through the DOE Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049), with the Chicago Service Center listed as the agency/office. The overall purpose is to fund Phase II work that builds directly on prior Phase I results under the DOE SBIR/STTR programs, moving promising small-business innovations further along the research and development pathway.
Eligibility is narrowly defined. The primary eligible applicants are small businesses that were DOE SBIR/STTR Phase I awardees from FY 2009, who are invited to submit Phase II grant applications. In addition, DOE notes a special, limited circumstance involving FY 2008 Phase II applications: the Department may reconsider previously submitted, peer-reviewed, high-ranking Phase II grant applications from FY 2008, but only if a DOE Project Officer requests it and at DOE discretion. Importantly, this is not a reopening of competition for those FY 2008 applicants; they do not get a new chance to reapply or revise. If DOE decides to fund one of those previously submitted applications, the applicant would then be contacted and given the opportunity to confirm they are still interested and able to carry out the Phase II project.
From a funding standpoint, DOE anticipated making about 120 awards, with an estimated total program funding level of $116,000,000. Individual awards had a stated ceiling of $1,000,000 and a floor of $1, indicating DOE’s formal minimum and maximum bounds for award size. The FOA explicitly states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Key dates for the solicitation are also clearly specified. The FOA was posted and created on April 21, 2010. The original and current closing date was May 21, 2010, and the archive date is listed as September 30, 2010. The announcement also points applicants to FedConnect for additional information, implying that full application instructions, required forms, and any amendments or clarifications were handled through that platform.
For applicant support, DOE provided a direct point of contact for access issues related to the full announcement: Carl C. Hebron at 301-903-1414 and carl.hebron@science.doe.gov. This contact detail is framed specifically for situations where an applicant has difficulty accessing the FOA electronically, which suggests that the official and complete requirements were expected to be reviewed online in the full posting.
