Pheneovate enables breakthrough technologies utilizing graphene materials across a wide variety of industries.
The below highlights a few of the potential opportunities for funding of water-specific innovations for your organization, not specific to graphene technology.
Department of Energy - National Alliance for Water Innovation
Pheneovate is proud to have been recently selected as an Alliance Member of NAWI.
NAWI is composed of the founding Research Consortium (four DOE national labs, 10 industry partners, 19 leading U.S. research universities), a Research Advisory Council, an Industry Advisory Council, and the NAWI Alliance.
DOE is expected to support the Hub with $100 million in funding over five years, with an additional $34 million in cost-share contributions from public and private stakeholders. The Hub will also support DOE’s Water Security Grand Challenge.
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency SBIR Phase I Solicitation
EPA’s 2020-2021 SBIR Phase I solicitation is anticipated to open in late June 2020. The solicitation purpose is to support eligible small businesses in the development and commercialization of innovative environmental technologies.
EPA is calling for small businesses to apply for Phase I awards for up to $100,000 to demonstrate proof of concept in one of the SBIR solicitation topic areas. Successful Phase I awardees are eligible to receive Phase II funding, up to $400,000 for two years, through an additional application process.
Department of Defense - Pentagon Looks to Industry for Ideas
Staring down a $3 billion — and growing — tab to clean up water sources at military installations across the country that are contaminated with cancer-causing chemicals linked to firefighting foam, the Defense Department is now in discussions with private firms about potential cleanup solutions that might reduce the cost.
Special thanks to Tara Copp for her extensive reporting here.
The Department of Defense recently released a new map of all 651 military sites where they are investigating PFAS contamination. The number of sites has grown from 401 in 2018. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE GRAPHIC
While this is not a direct opportunity (yet) to work with the Department of Defense in the form of an official solicitation, certainly keep an eye on this space.
