SBIR/STTR FY 2014 Phase II Release 2 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The SBIR/STTR FY 2014 Phase II Release 2 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001072) is a Department of Energy Office of Science discretionary grant program aimed at moving prior DOE SBIR/STTR projects beyond the early proof-of-concept stage and into more mature research and development. In practical terms, it is not a general open solicitation for brand-new ideas; it is a follow-on Phase II funding opportunity specifically for companies already participating in DOE SBIR or STTR awards and seeking additional support to further develop and demonstrate the technology that was initiated under earlier DOE funding.

The funding instrument for this opportunity is a grant, and it falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category, with CFDA number 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program). The posting date for the opportunity is February 11, 2014, with an original closing date of April 1, 2014 and a current closing date listed as April 2, 2014. The archive date is May 10, 2014, indicating the window for submission has passed and the opportunity is maintained for record and reference. The summary fields for estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor are all shown as 0, which typically means applicants must rely on the detailed FOA text for the actual budget limits, anticipated number of awards, and other financial parameters rather than the simplified listing fields.

Eligibility is described as "unrestricted" at the listing level, but the real eligibility is tightly defined in the FOA and is limited to certain DOE SBIR/STTR awardees. The opportunity supports both Initial Phase II applications and Sequential Phase II applications, each with specific constraints. For Initial Phase II, only currently active DOE SBIR or STTR Phase I grantees are eligible, and those Phase I grants must have resulted from FOA DE-FOA-0000801 with a June 2013 grant start date. For Sequential Phase II (often described as Phase IIA in some contexts), eligibility is limited to awardees from the FY 2012 SBIR/STTR Phase II FOA DE-FOA-0000676, and only those projects aligned with the pre-selected topics listing referenced in the FOA may apply. In other words, Sequential Phase II is not broadly available to all Phase II awardees; it is restricted to certain cohorts and topic areas spelled out in the official announcement.

The announcement makes clear that the authoritative requirements, instructions, and topic guidance are contained in the full Funding Opportunity Announcement text hosted on FedConnect. Applicants are directed to retrieve the FOA document and to follow the instructions in the Grant Application Package as provided in that full text. Because the key details (such as required proposal structure, technical volume requirements, commercialization expectations, budget rules, and any topic-specific evaluation criteria) are typically defined in the FOA itself, the public listing is best read as a gateway that points eligible prior awardees to the complete application and compliance instructions.

For access and support, the DOE provides a point of contact for applicants who have difficulty obtaining the announcement electronically: Carl C. Hebron, Program Analyst, at 301-903-1414 and carl.hebron@science.doe.gov. The official FOA is located via FedConnect at the link provided in the listing: https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/docDEFOA0001072agencyDOE.
