    Summary

    The Department of Energy (DOE) invites eligible Phase I and Phase II grantees to apply for Phase II grants (both initial and sequential) under the program.

    The purpose of an Initial Phase II grant is to perform the research and development (R&D) required to meet the DOE objectives stated in the topic and subtopic of the Phase I program. In addition, it is intended that the small business grantee would be in a position to pursue commercial applications of the R&D at the end of Phase II. In many cases, Phase II results in a prototype, product, or a working process that can be demonstrated to a potential investor or customer (either in the private sector or in the Federal government, including the DOE).

    There are two types of DOE Sequential Phase II awards:

    • Phase IIA: A Phase II grantee may request additional financial support for new R&D tasks and activities that are aligned with the original scope of work for the Phase II grant. The purpose of the Phase IIA grant is to allow the grantee to complete the R&D associated with initial prototype, product, or process development.
    • Phase IIB: A Phase II grantee may request additional financial support for new R&D tasks and activities that extend beyond the scope of the original Phase II grant. The purpose of the Phase IIB grant is to assist the grantee in transitioning the innovation towards commercialization.
