Grant Description

A link to the full Funding Opportunity Announcement is found by scrolling to the bottom of this page. This is a restricted eligibility. In accordance with 10 CFR 600.6(b), eligibility for award is restricted to established venture capital firms. An established venture capital firm is defined as a domestic entity primarily engaged in acting as a principal (except investment bankers, securities dealers, and commodity contracts dealers) in buying or selling of financial contracts generally on a spread basis. Principals are investors that buy or sell for their own account. Eligible firms must certify that they have at least $5 million in funds available for energy efficiency and renewable energy technology investment, an overall current fund size of at least $50 million, a proven track record of launching successful start up businesses, and must demonstrate previous entrepreneurial support experience. DOE is seeking to partner with leading Venture Capital (VC) firms in a program to develop robust Entrepreneur in Residence (EIR) projects at five of DOEs national laboratories  Argonne National Laboratory (ANL), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL). The projects will identify and develop business cases to commercialize promising laboratory technology and give proven start-up entrepreneurs the opportunity to work directly with technical management and staff at a specified national laboratory to identify technologies that, when commercialized in start-up companies, will contribute to DOEs mission. Successful applicants will conduct technology assessments, identify market opportunities, formulate preliminary business cases, and propose business structures for start-up enterprises, as well as recommend policy and business practice modifications to DOE and the national laboratories to further refine their approaches to moving technology into the commercial sector. DOE is not obligated to provide additional funding toward the development of these technologies beyond what is set forth in this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA). Applications for this Funding Opportunity Announcement must be accessed, completed, and submitted through Grants.gov at http://www.grants.gov to be considered for award.
