Core Research Program Technology Transfer & Commercialization Advancement
Summary
The Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA) Research and Development (R&D) Core Research Program announces this competitive solicitation for proposals focused strictly on Technology Transfer (T2) and Commercialization Advancement. The core objective of this Research Announcement is to accelerate the transition of high-impact pipeline safety innovations from advanced laboratory and operational prototypes to full-scale commercial deployment and operational field implementation across the Nation's energy transportation infrastructure. This solicitation specifically targets mature technologies at high Technology Readiness Levels (TRL 79) to bridge the critical 'implementation gap' by resolving final technical, regulatory, operational, credentialing, and market hurdles. Funding will only be awarded for projects that demonstrate a clear, definitive path to producing deployable technology, commercial products, or integrated service system ready for immediate market availability and pipeline operator adoption upon project completion.
