SBIR/STTR FY 2012 Phase II | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The SBIR/STTR FY 2012 Phase II opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000676) is a discretionary grant funding announcement from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, under the Office of Science Financial Assistance Program (CFDA 81.049). It supports science and technology research and development and is intended specifically to fund Phase II projects that build on successful Phase I results. The practical purpose of the program is to help small businesses continue development work that has already been competitively selected and initiated under DOE SBIR or STTR Phase I, with Phase II typically focused on advancing the technology toward a more complete prototype, validation in relevant environments, and stronger readiness for commercialization or deployment.

Eligibility is limited: only applicants that are currently active DOE SBIR or STTR Phase I grantees can apply under this Phase II FOA. While the listing shows “Unrestricted” eligible applicants in a general sense, the FOA’s eligibility language clarifies that Phase II proposals must come from existing, active DOE Phase I awardees. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to provide non-federal funds as a condition of receiving an award, though applicants may still choose to leverage outside resources if it strengthens the project plan.

The DOE anticipated making up to 120 awards under this FOA, with an estimated total program funding level of $120,000,000. Individual awards have a floor of $1,000,000 and a ceiling of $1,000,000, effectively indicating a standardized award size around $1 million per project. The funding instrument is a grant, not a contract, which generally implies an assistance relationship focused on supporting research objectives rather than purchasing a specific deliverable for the government, although Phase II awards typically still require clear technical milestones and reporting.

Key dates for this opportunity are as follows: the opportunity was posted on February 14, 2012, created on February 16, 2012, and had an application deadline (original and current closing date) of April 4, 2012. The archive date is July 4, 2012, meaning the opportunity was subsequently closed and archived after the application and processing period.

The full Funding Opportunity Announcement text and the detailed application instructions were made available through FedConnect, rather than being fully reproduced in the summary listing. Applicants were directed to retrieve the FOA at https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/docDEFOA0000676agencyDOE, and to follow the FOA instructions for completing and submitting the required Grant Application Package. The announcement also highlights a technical submission requirement: applicants must use a Grants.gov-compatible version of Adobe Reader to complete the Adobe-based application forms, with guidance provided via the Grants.gov software download page at http://www.grants.gov/help/downloadsoftware.jsp. This requirement matters because incompatible PDF software versions can cause validation errors, missing fields, or submission failures close to the deadline.

For questions or access issues related to obtaining the full announcement electronically, the point of contact listed is Carl C. Hebron at the DOE Office of Science (telephone 301-903-1414; email carl.hebron@science.doe.gov).
