Our Services
The DOE SBIR/STTR Phase 0 Assistance program provides a variety of services – free of charge – to eligible small businesses. Application for these services is made available once the SBIR/STTR Topic Document is released from the DOE (November 12, 2024). Applicants will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible applicants until January 31. These services will become available in early December.
Eligible applicants may require additional services. During the application process we will assess which service(s) are most appropriate.
Depending on when you register for the DOE Phase 0 program, some of the optional services may be unavailable. This may occur if a service is over-subscribed or if the services are time sensitive. Availability of options will be discussed during the registration process.
Optional Tools (Pick 1)
The objective of this interaction with a Phase 0 business coach is to provide an assortment of services depending on the status of the firm. If the company is newly formed, the focus of the discussion could be upon the structure of the firm, its mission and how to transition from one role to another. If the company is already established, the focus could be on business models and business strategies, as well as visions for the future.
This service is aimed at companies which have questions regarding technical feasibility and/or the metrics they have selected for their work plan. The small business needs to identify the individual from whom they would like to gain technical advice and Dawnbreaker will reach out to them on your behalf (up to 5 hours of consultation are available). This service is now closed.

The travel must be germane to securing a Phase I SBIR/STTR award prior to application submission and will not be reimbursed for more than two days and one traveler.
