FY 2023 Phase II Release 1

Description The DOE invites eligible Phase I and Phase II awardees to apply for Phase II awards (grants ) (initial, second, and third) and diversity supplements under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Topic descriptions for this FOA can be found on the DOE SBIR/STTR web site at https://science.osti.gov/sbir/Funding-Opportunities. 1. Initial Phase II Awards The purpose of an Initial Phase II award is to perform the research and development (R&D) required to meet the DOE objectives stated in the topic and subtopic of the Phase I FOA. In addition, it is intended that the small business awardee 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 DOE). This FOA is supplemental to the FY 2022 SBIR/STTR Phase I Release 1 FOA (DE-FOA- 0002554); therefore, general information already provided in the Phase I FOA also applies to this Phase II process. If a conflict arises between the Phase I FOA and this Phase II FOA, the Phase II FOA will govern. 2. Second Phase II Awards There are two types of DOE Second Phase II awards: 1. Phase IIA: A Phase II awardee may request additional financial support for new R&D tasks and activities that are aligned with the original scope of work for the Phase II award. The purpose of the Phase IIA award is to allow the awardee to complete the R&D associated with initial prototype, product, or process development. The review criteria (see Section V.A.) for Phase IIA applications will be the same as for Initial Phase II awards submitted to this FOA. Only award recipients resulting from the FY 2021 SBIR/STTR Phase II Release 1 FOA (DE- FOA-0002380) under the eligible topics detailed in Section III.A. of this FOA may apply for Phase IIA awards.
