- The Office of Science in the science and technology and other research and development sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "SBIR/STTR FY 2014 Phase I Release 1" and is now available to receive applicants.
- Interested and eligible applicants and submit their applications by referencing the CFDA number(s): 81.049 Office of Science Financial Assistance Program.
- This funding opportunity was created on Aug 13, 2013 and posted on Aug 13, 2013.
- Applicants must submit their applications by Oct 15, 2013. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- Eligible applicants include: Unrestricted (i.e., open to any type of entity above), subject to any clarification in text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility.
- SBIR/STTR program eligibility requirements are in place to ensure that the funds go only to small, independent US businesses. The regulations include restrictions about (1) the type of firm, (2) its ownership structure, and (3) the firms size in terms of the number of employees. The purpose of the requirement regarding type of firm is to target the awards to firms with an economic interest in developing the idea or research into a commercial application. The purpose of the ownership requirement is to limit the program to independent firms controlled by US citizens or permanent resident aliens as a way of maximizing the likelihood that the funding will stimulate innovative activity within the US economy. The purpose of the size restriction (number of employees of the firm and its affiliates) is to limit program funding to small business concerns which have a unique capacity for innovation and are more likely to be constrained by lack of access to such funding. Additional information on eligibility can be found in the full text of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) which can be obtained at https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/docDE FOA 0000969agencyDOE.

Opportunity Summary:
The SBIR/STTR FY 2014 Phase I Release 1 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0000969) is a U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science funding announcement for small business research and development projects in science and technology. It is part of DOE's Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs and is offered as a discretionary grant opportunity under CFDA 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program). The announcement directs applicants to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on FedConnect, which contains the detailed topic areas, application instructions, required forms, and submission requirements.
This FOA describes two paths for applying. The first is a standard Phase I award, which typically supports early-stage feasibility research and proof-of-concept work aimed at demonstrating the scientific and technical merit of an idea with potential for commercialization. The second path is a FAST TRACK option, which combines Phase I and Phase II into a single coordinated application. FAST TRACK is designed for companies that can credibly outline both the initial feasibility effort and a follow-on development plan, allowing them to compete for a more streamlined transition from Phase I research into Phase II development if milestones and review outcomes support continued funding.
Eligibility is centered on ensuring awards go to small, independent U.S. businesses that are positioned to develop innovations into commercial outcomes. The FOA emphasizes three core eligibility pillars that come from SBIR/STTR regulations: (1) the type of firm must be an eligible small business concern with an economic stake in commercializing the results; (2) ownership and control must generally align with program rules intended to keep control with U.S. citizens or permanent resident aliens and to maintain independence; and (3) company size is limited based on the number of employees across the firm and its affiliates, reflecting the program intent to support small businesses that are often more constrained in access to R&D capital. While the listing states eligibility as "unrestricted" at a high level, it clarifies that SBIR/STTR-specific statutory and regulatory requirements apply, and applicants are expected to consult the full FOA text for the exact definitions and conditions.
Key administrative details include that cost sharing or matching is not required, and the opportunity was posted and created on August 13, 2013. The original and current closing date is October 15, 2013, with an archive date of January 15, 2014. The public listing does not specify an award floor, award ceiling, or total estimated funding amount (all shown as 0 in the summary record), which usually means those figures are either defined within the full FOA text, vary by topic, or are otherwise not captured in the summarized database fields. Applicants are therefore expected to rely on the FedConnect FOA for definitive funding limits, performance periods, and topic-specific guidance.
The full announcement and application instructions are available via FedConnect at https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/docDEFOA0000969agencyDOE (as referenced in the notice). For access issues or questions about obtaining the announcement, the contact listed is Carl C. Hebron, Program Analyst, at 301-903-1414 or carl.hebron@science.doe.gov.
