U.S. Department of Energy Phase 0 Program Begins Offering Services, Announces New Webinar Date/Time
ROCHESTER, N.Y., Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) on Monday, November 24th for its SBIR/STTR Phase I, Release 2. To supplement the release, the newly launched DOE Phase 0 Program will host its first webinar, titled 10 Steps in Submitting a Phase I SBIR/STTR Proposal to the U.S. Department of Energy.
The highly anticipated Phase 0 program is designed to increase the number of responsive, high quality proposals submitted to the Department of Energy within targeted states with historically low SBIR/STTR submissions to the DOE, and amongst women and minority-owned businesses nationally. To help navigate the complex process of applying for SBIR/STTR awards, a series of webinars have been created to assist interested companies and individuals.
The webinar will be hosted by SBIR proposal expert Jim Greenwood of the Greenwood Consulting Group this Wednesday, December 3rd at 2 pm Eastern. A live Q & A will follow the session to address any questions on the SBIR/STTR proposal process. For those interested that cannot attend the live session, a pre-recording is available at www.dawnbreaker.com/DOEPhase0/.

Servo, Ph.D., President of Dawnbreaker, which administers the Phase 0 Program for DOE.
