Technology Commercialization for DOE and SBIR/STTR

Technology Commercialization for DOE and SBIR/STTR

TIV continues to serve an active advisory role in assisting companies in bringing their novel technologies to market through the Department of Energy SBIR/STTR Phase I program. In Phase I, award winners explore the feasibility of their innovative concepts with up to $100,000 for up to 9 months. Phase I award winners may compete for Phase II funding, with awards of up to $750,000 over two years towards R&D.

​

For example, through the aptly called “Phase 0” program, TIV has guided DOE applicants through the entire process: drafting the original letter of intent to assisting with proposal writing, budget development, commercialization planning, market analysis, and project organization. TIV has proudly assisted dozens of companies in the Phase 0 program with exciting innovations ranging from renewable energy breakthroughs to data management solutions implementing the latest scientific advances.

​

TIV consultants have also served as Principal Advisors (PA) to a selective group of innovators from the Small Business Innovation Research programs. PAs were tasked to help identify, cultivate, and develop nascent companies into successful, profitable enterprises. The initiative was downstream of a larger effort by the US Department of Energy Commercialization Assistance Program (DOE CAP).
