Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "RECOVERY ACT (ARRA) Applications for Phase I SBIR/STTR Grants Annual Phase I Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR)," supports early-stage research and development by small businesses under the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science. It was issued as part of the Recovery Act (ARRA) effort and is aimed specifically at Phase I SBIR and STTR projects, which are intended to test the scientific or technical merit of an idea and determine whether it is feasible enough to justify further development and eventual commercialization. The program is focused on science and technology research and development, consistent with the Office of Science mission areas.
The awards described are Phase I grants made during calendar year 2009. Individual awards can be up to $150,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to provide their own funds to match the federal award. The central purpose of Phase I in both SBIR and STTR is proof-of-concept: applicants propose an innovative idea that appears to have commercial potential, and Phase I funding is meant to support the initial work needed to show the idea is technically sound and worth pursuing. In practical terms, this stage usually involves defining the technical approach, demonstrating feasibility through modeling or limited experiments, identifying key risks and how to mitigate them, and producing results that justify a more substantial Phase II effort.
Eligibility is limited to small businesses. The opportunity is categorized under an "Other" opportunity category and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The associated CFDA number is 81.049, which corresponds to the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program. The listing identifies the agency name as the Chicago Service Center, with the scientific program connection indicated through the DOE Office of Science SBIR/STTR contacts.
Key dates show that the opportunity was posted on August 5, 2009, created on September 2, 2009, and had an original and current closing date of September 4, 2009. The archive date is December 5, 2009, indicating it is an older, archived opportunity rather than an active solicitation. The funding opportunity number is DE-PS02-09ER09-27, which is the identifier applicants would use to locate and reference the full announcement and submission instructions.
For applicant support and technical access issues, the announcement provides contact channels. If an applicant had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically or experienced problems linking to the opportunity, they were directed to contact the IIPS HelpDesk at iipshelpdesk@e-center.doe.gov. For program-related SBIR/STTR questions, a contact is listed as Marilyn Oyler at sbir-sttr@science.doe.gov. These contacts suggest the process relied on DOE electronic systems used at the time for locating the announcement and managing submissions or applicant questions.
Overall, the opportunity offered non-matching, early-stage federal R&D funding up to $150,000 for small businesses proposing innovative science or technology concepts with a plausible path to commercialization, with Phase I emphasizing feasibility validation and technical merit rather than full product development.
