As an applicant, I understand that my participation in the Phase 0 Assistance Program does not provide me with preferential treatment from the DOE or other advantages over applicants not participating in the Phase 0 Assistance Program. That is, all applications submitted to a DOE SBIR/STTR Phase I Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) are administratively screened without regard to participation in the Phase 0 program to ensure that the application meets the FOA requirements and evaluated on a competitive basis against other applicants within the same technical program area.

Applicant is informed that participation in the Phase 0 Assistance Program requires that the company have much of the required technology expertise already within the team. It is also understood that the applicant is the primary application developer but will do so with Dawnbreaker’s assistance. In addition, the applicant’s technology must be a fit with a topic/subtopic pair defined in the DOE’s Topic Document released on July 10, 2023. If information is revealed at any point during the Phase 0 Assistance Program that applicant does not comply with these requirements, the applicant’s participation in the Phase 0 Program may be terminated..
