SBIR/STTR FY 2017 Phase II Release 2
The purpose of an Initial Phase II grant is to perform the research and development (R&D) required to meet the DOE objectives stated in the topic and subtopic of the Phase I FOA.
In addition, it is intended that the small business grantee would be in a position to pursue commercial applications of the R&D at the end of Phase II.
In many cases, Phase II results in a prototype, product, or a working process that can be demonstrated to a potential investor or customer (either in the private sector or in the Federal government, including the DOE).
This FOA is supplemental to the FY 2016 SBIR/STTR Phase I Release 2 FOA (DE-FOA-0001417); therefore, general information already provided in the Phase I FOA also applies to this Phase II process.
If a conflict arises between the Phase I FOA and this Phase II FOA, the Phase II FOA will govern.

Keeping Half the Profits Beats Non-profits for Social Impact
Melbourne social enterprise Who Gives A Crap sold nearly 3 million rolls of toilet paper in 2014/15 and gave half the proceeds to WaterAid Australia, but co-founder Simon Griffiths says the donation would have been less had the startup adopted a non-profit model when it launched two years ago.
