If you’re a small business innovating in battery technology, the Department of Defense (DoD) has just released an opportunity under the Army SBIR topic A244-P063, titled “Battery Focused Open Topic.”
This Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) could be your ticket to securing funding that supports your cutting-edge battery solutions. But here’s the catch: with a fast-approaching deadline and complex submission requirements, having a well-prepared proposal is critical to success.

Why This Opportunity Matters
The DoD is actively seeking innovations that align with the defense needs of the U.S. Army. The “Battery-Focused Open Topic” is a prime chance for small businesses to showcase how their technology can address critical challenges. Whether your innovation enhances battery life, efficiency, or resilience in harsh environments, this SBIR funding can provide the resources to take your project to the next level.
Key Dates and Deadlines
Mark these dates on your calendar if you’re interested in pursuing this funding opportunity:
- September 10, 2024: Proposal submissions open in DSIP (Defense SBIR/STTR Innovation Portal).
- October 1, 2024: Topic Q&A closes at 12:00 p.m. ET. Be sure to get all your technical questions in before this date.
- October 15, 2024: Full proposals must be submitted no later than 12:00 p.m. ET.
Navigating these timelines and ensuring compliance with submission requirements is essential, especially with only one proposal allowed per small business concern.
The New Programmatic Changes You Need to Know
Effective July 31, 2024, there are important changes in the proposal submission process that could trip up unprepared applicants. All small business concerns must now complete the “Disclosures of Foreign Affiliations or Relationships to Foreign Countries” in Volume 7 of their proposal. PDF uploads are no longer accepted—proposals must include this information using the new web form integrated into DSIP. Without completing this step, your proposal won’t be certified or submitted by your Corporate Official.
This is where working with experienced proposal consultants becomes invaluable. Missing a minor detail like this could result in an incomplete submission and the loss of a vital funding opportunity.
