Important Reminders
First-time applicants to Grants.gov: There are a number of registrations you must complete prior to submitting your application. It is recommended that you start this process at least 6 weeks in advance of submitting your application. View our online tutorial to learn how to complete these registrations at http://www.doesbirlearning.com/module-12-12/.
Previously registered applicants with Grants.gov: Please note you must have a current SAM registration to submit an SBIR/STTR application. Please ensure that this registration is active through the application due date, as it must be renewed annually. If it is not active, you will not be able to successfully submit an SBIR/STTR grant application. If you have any questions about the SAM process, please contact the Grants.gov Helpdesk at 1-800-518-4726. Each year DOE administratively declines applications that were submitted late because the SAM registration was not updated prior to the DOE application submission deadline. Please ensure TODAY that your SAM registration will be active through the application due date!
Upcoming Webinar: Register here to join the DOE SBIR/STTR Programs Director, Manny Oliver on Thursday, December 20th as he provides a 45 minute overview of the DOE SBIR/STTR technology areas noted above and the application and award process as it relates to the FY19 Phase I Release 2 FOA. There will be time for Q&A, so don’t forget to submit your questions at the time of registration.
