Core Research Program Technology Transfer & Commercialization Advancement
PHMSA’s R&D Core Research Program is seeking proposals exclusively for Technology Transfer and Commercialization Advancement. The goal is to accelerate high-impact pipeline safety innovations from advanced prototypes to full-scale commercial deployment and field implementation across the nation’s energy transportation infrastructure. The solicitation targets mature TRL 7–9 technologies and aims to close the implementation gap by addressing final technical, regulatory, operational, credentialing, and market barriers. Awards will be made only for projects showing a clear path to deployable technology, commercial products, or integrated service systems ready for immediate market availability and pipeline operator adoption upon completion.
