The objectives of the SBIR/STTR programs include increasing private sector commercialization of technology developed through DOE-supported research and development (R&D), stimulating technological innovation in the private sector, encouraging participation by women-owned and minority-owned small
businesses, and improving the return on investment from Federally-funded research for economic and social benefits to the nation.
DOE will support high-quality research or R&D on innovative concepts concerning important mission-related scientific or engineering problems and opportunities that have high potential for commercialization.
The DOE SBIR/STTR Programs do not support either basic science or demonstration projects.
