Funding Selections: Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) FY 2023 Phase I Release 2 FOA

Office: Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technologies
Available Funding: $2.1 Million
FOA Number: 2903

Description

On July 10th, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced $72 million to support 296 projects across 44 states through the Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/ Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) program. This investment includes $2.1 million in Phase I proof of concept grants for 12 projects funded and co-funded by the Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE)’s Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies Office (AMMTO).

Through the SBIR and STTR programs, AMMTO provides non-dilutive funding to small business research and development projects that improve energy efficiency and drive industrial decarbonization. These 12 projects will also have the opportunity to advance to Phase II based on their progress during Phase I.

Topic Areas

AMMTO’s selections were made from the following topic areas:

  • Advanced Materials and Manufacturing Technologies: An AMMTO-funded topic focused on developing the next-generation materials and manufacturing technologies to support a clean, decarbonized economy.
  • Fuel Cell and Electrolyzer Recycling: A joint topic among AMMTO, the Industrial Efficiency and Decarbonization Office (IEDO), and the Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office to develop innovative manufacturing of clean energy technologies, advance novel recycling processes for critical materials, and facilitate wide-spread adoption of hydrogen production and use.
  • Decarbonization of Agriculture, Buildings, Transport, Industry and their Communities: A joint topic among AMMTO, IEDO, and four other EERE technology offices to drastically reduce carbon emissions across the U.S. economy with a special emphasis on communities.
