The Department of Energy’s (DOE) SBIR / STTR program has an annual budget exceeding $300 million, awarding around 400 Phase I and 200 Phase II grants each year. This program supports research in areas such as clean energy, energy production, energy use, fundamental energy sciences, environmental management, and defense nuclear nonproliferation. In addition to the SBIR / STTR program, the DOE has a number of other initiatives, such as ARPA-E, that provide hundreds of millions in funding to innovative technologies that fulfill the DOE’s mission.
During this webinar, Dr. Lu will cover the fundamentals of the DOE SBIR / STTR program, including eligibility, application process, useful resources, success rate, and tips in preparing a competitive proposal. She will also provide insights on ARPA-E and other non-dilutive funding opportunities available at the DOE.
