Opportunity Summary:
The SBIR/STTR FY 2013 Phase I Release 1 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000760) is a discretionary grant solicitation from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science, focused on science, technology, and research and development. It supports early-stage innovation through two related but separate paths: a standard Phase I competition and a Fast Track option that combines Phase I and Phase II into a single, accelerated application route. A key rule in this announcement is that applicants choosing the Fast Track route cannot also apply at the same time to the standalone Phase I opportunity, meaning a small business must pick one approach or the other for this release.
The purpose of the announcement is aligned with the DOE SBIR and STTR programs, which are designed to help U.S. small businesses translate high-impact technical ideas into feasible, commercially relevant solutions. Phase I generally emphasizes establishing scientific and technical merit and demonstrating feasibility, while the Fast Track structure is meant for teams that are ready to propose a more continuous development plan that spans feasibility work and follow-on development under Phase II. While the summary data provided here does not list topic areas, technical subtopics, page limits, budgets, or specific eligibility nuances beyond the headline requirements, the FOA indicates that all application instructions and full program details are contained in the complete Funding Opportunity Announcement hosted on FedConnect.
Eligibility is limited to U.S. small business concerns (SBCs) that meet the program and Small Business Administration size and ownership requirements at the time of award for both Phase I and Phase II. The announcement also notes that joint ventures may apply as long as the resulting entity qualifies as a small business under the definitions included in the FOA appendices or reference materials. Although the listing shows "Unrestricted" under eligible applicants in a general sense, the controlling eligibility standard is the SBIR/STTR requirement that only qualifying U.S. small businesses may submit applications, with any additional clarifications governed by the full FOA text.
From an administrative standpoint, the program is offered as a grant (not a contract) under CFDA 81.049, Office of Science Financial Assistance Program, and it does not require cost sharing or matching. The opportunity was posted on August 13, 2012, with an application deadline of October 16, 2012, and an archive date of January 16, 2013. The public listing shows estimated total funding and award floor/ceiling as 0, which typically means the amounts were not populated in the summary record and applicants should rely on the full FOA for actual funding levels, expected award sizes, and the number of anticipated awards.
Applicants are directed to access the full announcement and the Grant Application Package instructions through FedConnect at the link provided in the notice. For access issues or questions related to obtaining the announcement electronically, the contact listed is Carl C. Hebron at the DOE Office of Science (301-903-1414, carl.hebron@science.doe.gov).
