Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0003110

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Office of Science is offering a discretionary grant opportunity titled "FY 2024 Phase I Release 1" under Funding Opportunity Number DE-FOA-0003110. This announcement supports early-stage research and development through the DOE Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs for Fiscal Year 2024. The overall purpose is to help small businesses pursue innovative science and technology concepts that align with DOE mission needs, with a particular emphasis on advancing research and development ideas toward practical energy, science, and related technology outcomes.

This opportunity is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development and is listed under CFDA number 81.049. The funding instrument is a grant, and the applicant pool is limited to eligible small businesses. In practice, that means proposals must come from organizations that meet the federal definition of a small business concern and can comply with the SBIR or STTR program rules. While the announcement text provided here does not list individual topic areas, DOE SBIR/STTR Phase I solicitations generally focus on proving scientific or technical feasibility, generating proof-of-concept results, and laying the groundwork for follow-on development and eventual commercialization or deployment.

Key dates and basic award parameters are straightforward. The funding opportunity was created on August 7, 2023, with an original application deadline of October 10, 2023. The maximum (ceiling) award amount for a Phase I project is $250,000, and DOE anticipates making about 110 awards under this release. Phase I awards are typically designed to fund short, focused R&D efforts that reduce technical risk and demonstrate that the core innovation is viable enough to justify a larger Phase II effort later on.

In short, DE-FOA-0003110 is a DOE Office of Science SBIR/STTR Phase I funding opportunity intended to help qualified small businesses launch or validate high-impact R&D ideas. It provides up to $250,000 per award and targets a sizable cohort of awards (approximately 110), reflecting DOE's goal of seeding a broad pipeline of early-stage innovations that can mature into stronger technical solutions and future commercialization pathways.
