SBIR/STTR FY 2013 Phase II Release 1

The Department of Energy (DOE) invites only DOE SBIR/STTR Phase I Release I Awardees from FY 2012 to submit Phase II grant applications. The purpose of Phase II is to perform the research and development required to meet the DOE objectives stated in the technical topic of the Phase I Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). In addition, it is intended that the small business grantee would be in a position to pursue commercial applications of the R&D at the end of Phase II. In many cases, Phase II results in a prototype product or a working process that can be demonstrated to a potential investor or customer (either in the private sector or in the Federal government, including the Department of Energy). This FOA is supplemental to the FY 2012 SBIR/STTR Phase I Release I FOA (DE-FOA-0000577); therefore, general information already provided in the FY 2012 FOA also applies to this Phase II process. If a conflict arises, this Phase II FOA will govern. The full text of the Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is located on FedConnect. Instructions for completing the Grant Application Package are contained in the full text of the FOA which can be obtained at: https://www.fedconnect.net/FedConnect/?doc=DE-FOA-0000782&agency=DOE
