SBIR/STTR Phase III Success Story Listing Page
DOE provides nearly $300M annually to SBIR/STTR awardees in two (2) releases funding ~400 Phase I awards and ~160 Phase II awards. It is the expectation of Congress that technology developed using these designated taxpayer funds result in some form of public benefit whether it be in the form of taxable revenue, jobs or some other societal or scientific benefit.
Success stories are written to highlight SBIR/STTR funded small businesses that have successfully moved their SBIR/STTR funded technology to Phase III (defined as non-SBIR dollars) to the commercial market and/or government.

2021 SBIR/STTR Small Business of the Year
Each year DOE’s Office of Small and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) asks the program offices to send in nominations for the SBIR/STTR Small Business of the Year. The award recognizes a U.S. small business that exemplifies the spirit of DOE’s SBIR/STTR programs by strengthening and expanding its high-technology research and development (R&D) competitiveness within DOE and/or the private sector. Competitively vetted with many worthy nominees, the awardee is to excel at one or more of the following criteria:
- Stimulating U.S. technological innovation and enhancing the nation’s return on its DOE SBIR/STTR investment.
- Providing the DOE and/or its national laboratories, research facilities, or university research partners the benefits of commercial applications derived from DOE SBIR/STTR funded R&D.
- Stimulating U.S. economic growth and/or increasing private-sector commercialization of innovations as a result or in part of DOE SBIR/STTR funded R&D.
