Description: The DOE invites eligible Phase I and Phase II grantees to apply for Phase II grants (both initial and sequential) under this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Topic descriptions for this FOA can be found on the DOE SBIR/STTR web site.The purpose of an Initial Phase II grant is to perform the research and development (R&amp;D) required to meet the DOE objectives stated in the topic and subtopic of the Phase I FOA. In addition, it is intended that the small business grantee would be in a position to pursue commercial applications of the R&amp;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).This FOA is supplemental to the FY 2017 SBIR/STTR Phase I Release 1 FOA (DE-FOA-0001618); therefore, general information already provided in the Phase I FOA also applies to this Phase II process.
