Your real odds
DOE awards hundreds of SBIR/STTR grants annually, though Phase II stays competitive among the small businesses that already cleared Phase I.
Awards are tied to specific DOE research priorities, and your Phase I progress gets real scrutiny, so showing clear results matters more than just having completed the phase. Your competition has already passed the same bar you did, which raises the baseline.

Worth knowing
The program recently moved to the Office of Technology Commercialization, and the submission portal and contacts changed with it, so older bookmarks will send you to the wrong place and you may miss current application instructions entirely.
