105 Grants Will Support Scientific Innovation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Energy Secretary Dan Brouillette announced that the Department of Energy (DOE) will award 105 grants totaling $116 million to 92 small businesses in 31 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 (R&D). Small businesses that demonstrated technical feasibility for innovations during their Phase I grants competed for funding for prototype or processes development during Phase II. In addition, prior Phase II awardees competed for second or third Phase II awards to continue prototype and process development. The median Phase II award is $1,100,000 for a period of two years.
“As our country reopens, small businesses will play a critical role in the Nation’s economic recovery,” said Secretary Brouillette. “I am pleased the Department can aid in this recovery through the SBIR and STTR grant programs, which are helping spur growth by providing meaningful financial investment for innovative energy and science R&D at American small businesses.”
Selected grants from each of the R&D program offices that provided funding for the 105 projects:
- Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response
- Physical Layer Authentication of Wired Networks
- Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation
