86 Grants Will Support Scientific Innovation
WASHINGTON D.C. – U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry today announced that the Department of Energy will award 86 grants totaling $95 million to 74 small businesses in 21 states. Funded through DOE’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs, today’s selections are for Phase II research and development. Small businesses that demonstrated technical feasibility for innovations during their Phase I grants competed for funding for prototype or processes development during Phase II. In addition, prior Phase II awardees competed for sequential Phase II awards to continue prototype and process development. The median Phase II award is $1,000,000 for a period of two years.
Highlighted below are selected grants for each of the research and development programs that provided funding for these projects:
Office of Advanced Scientific Computing
Photonic-Storage Subsystem Input/Output Interface
Network Measurement and Congestion Analysis
Seamless Cross-Technology Communication Platform for Internet of Things Applications
Office of Basic Energy Sciences
Atomically Smooth Surfaces as Substrates for Advanced Neutron Supermirrors
Optimization of Focusing Systems for Ultrafast Electron Microscopy
High Performance Membrane Heat Exchangers for HVAC
Office of Biological and Environmental Research
Breakthrough Photo-thermal Modulation-based IR Microscope for Sub-micron Characterization of Cellular Metabolism and Chemical Processes within Cells
High-Speed, Nanoscale Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry
Profiling Airborne Microwave Radiometer for Atmospheric and Cloud Research
Office of Nuclear Physics
Radiation Hardened Infrared Focal Plane Arrays
Precise and Ultra-stable Laser Polarization Control for Polarized Electron Beam Generation
Low Cost Data Acquisition Synchronization for Nuclear Physics Applications
Small businesses play a major role in spurring innovation and creating jobs in the U.S. economy. The SBIR and STTR programs were created by Congress to leverage small businesses to advance innovation at federal agencies.
