82 Grants Will Support Scientific Innovation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry announced that the Department of Energy will award 82 grants totaling $99 million to 69 small businesses in 26 states. Funded through DOE’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, today’s selections are for Phase II research and development.
Small businesses that demonstrated technical feasibility for innovations during their Phase I grants then competed for funding for prototype or processes development during Phase II. In addition, prior Phase II awardees competed for sequential Phase II awards to continue prototype and process development. The median Phase II award is $1,000,000 for a period of two years.
Highlighted below are selected grants for each of the research and development programs that provided funding for these projects:
Office of Advanced Scientific Computing
Photonic Memory Controller Module
Correlating and Analyzing Network Data through Interpretable Decompositions
A Cloud-based Platform for High-Resolution Imagery Management

Small businesses play a major role in spurring innovation and creating jobs in the U.S. economy. The SBIR and STTR programs were created by Congress to leverage small businesses to advance innovation at federal agencies. Additional information on the DOE SBIR and STTR programs is available HERE.
