SBIR/STTR Phase II Release 2 | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The Department of Energy (DOE), through its Office of Science, announced the SBIR/STTR Phase II Release 2 funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0001258) to support small business research and development projects moving beyond early feasibility work. This FOA is aimed at applicants who already have DOE SBIR or STTR awards and are ready to pursue Phase II funding, including both initial Phase II awards and sequential Phase II awards. In practical terms, the opportunity is meant to help prior DOE SBIR/STTR performers continue developing promising technologies, advance technical milestones, and move closer to commercialization or broader deployment in areas tied to DOE science and technology priorities.

This is a discretionary grant opportunity in the broad category of science and technology and other research and development. DOE anticipated making about 48 awards under this release, with an estimated total funding amount of $48,000,000. The listing references CFDA 81.049 (Office of Science Financial Assistance Program). The notice indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award, though applicants still need to follow the FOA rules on allowable costs, budget structure, and any other financial or administrative requirements described in the full announcement.

Eligibility is described at a high level as "unrestricted" in the summary data, but the notice also makes clear that the real eligibility rules are defined in the full FOA, specifically in Part III (Eligibility Information). Because this is a Phase II SBIR/STTR opportunity, eligibility typically hinges on meeting the program rules and being an eligible prior Phase I (and in some cases Phase II) awardee under DOE's SBIR/STTR program, as well as meeting any small business and project-specific requirements spelled out in the official FOA text. Applicants are directed to consult the full FOA on FedConnect for the definitive requirements, application instructions, and any topic-specific constraints or documentation needs.

Key dates included in the public synopsis show the opportunity was posted on February 9, 2015, originally set to close on March 31, 2015, and later extended to a current closing date of April 3, 2015. The archive date was June 30, 2015, indicating when the opportunity would be removed from active listings. While the synopsis lists an award ceiling and award floor as 0, that typically reflects that award size details were not captured in the summary fields and instead are provided in the FOA itself; applicants would need to refer to the full FOA for the expected or maximum Phase II budget guidance, performance period expectations, and any limits that apply by topic or award type.

For access, DOE indicated the full FOA text and the detailed instructions for completing the Grant Application Package were available through FedConnect at the provided link. For help obtaining or accessing the full announcement electronically, the contact listed was Carl C. Hebron, Program Analyst, at 301-903-1414, with the program email sbir_sttr@science.doe.gov (also shown in the notice as sbir_sttr@science.doe.gov).
