The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) SBIR program invests over $3 million in seed-stage startups that are creating innovative technologies that align with EPA’s mission to improve the environment. A key objective is to translate promising technologies to the private sector, enabling major advancements in EPA’s focus areas of interest and making the world a cleaner and healthier place for human survival.
Phase I Proof of Concept for 6 Months - $100,000 (Phase I) The objective of Phase I is to establish the technical merit, feasibility, and commercial potential of the proposed technology prior to further federal support in Phase II.
Phase II Development & Commercialization for 2 Years - $400,000 (Phase II) Funding is based on the results achieved in Phase I, the technical merit, and commercial potential and impact of the technology.
Further Funding To accelerate commercialization, EPA offers a “commercialization option” of up to $100,000 in Phase II for companies that secure third-party investment.
