DOE announces availability of $30M for small business materials-oriented tech commercialization
Materials folks – are you already working on a Phase II SBIR or STTR grants project and itching to take it to the next level? The DOE just announced that it is making available an additional $30 million to establish new small business related to clean energy.
The DOE is targeting 11 fields of technology and a wide range of applications, including innovative fuel cells, sensors, membranes, advanced materials, solar cells and concentrators, capacitors and magnets.
This is offering is being tagged as a Phase III funding offering that is part of the DOE’s Phase III Xlerator program. As noted above, Phase II recipients are eligible, but there is a catch: The deadline for applying is Aug. 4, 2010!
The range of grants are going to range from a minimum of $250,000 to a max of $3,000,000.
Here are the specific areas DOE is looking for:
