The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

Download all SBIR.gov award data either with award abstracts (290MB) or without award abstracts (65MB). A data dictionary and additional information is located on the Data Resource Page. Files are refreshed monthly.

The SBIR.gov award data files now contain the required fields to calculate award timeliness for individual awards or for an agency or branch. Additional information on calculating award timeliness is available on the Data Resource Page.

  1. Ultramafic Tailings Leaching and Lateritization with Electrolytic Acid Recycling for Critical Metal Recovery and Enhanced Mineral Carbonation

    SBC: Travertine Technologies, Inc.            Topic: 1

    Ultramafic rocks host two resources that are key to avoiding catastrophic climate warming: (1) elements essential for mineral carbonation with gigatonne-scale carbon dioxide removal and sequestration (CDRS) potential, and (2) first-row transition elements including nickel and cobalt that are critical for the renewable energy transition. These elements are chemically bound within solid mineral phas ...

  3. Develop an electrified technology for non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent

    SBC: J-TECH LLC            Topic: 1A

    Septic systems, widely used by >25% of U.S. households, represent a 6-billion-dollar market with a 5-7% projected growth rate. There is growing interest in non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent, yet existing disinfection methods are either costly (e.g., UV) or require households to handle hazardous chemicals (e.g., chlorine tablets). This project will validate a promising septic tank technolog ...

  4. A high-speed, low cost, machine learning enhanced, hyperspectral imaging system for improved identification of microplastics

    SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC            Topic: 1B

    Microplastics are environmental pollutants ubiquitous in marine and freshwater environments and have been established to have deleterious impacts on aquatic life and human health. Preventing Microplastics from getting into waterways or removing it once it is there, is the mission of EPA’s Trash Free Waters program and, as the production of plastics continues to grow, EPA is looking for innovativ ...

  5. Materials Recovery Platform: A geospatial software approach to the circular economy

    SBC: CAN I RECYCLE THIS INC            Topic: 4B

    The Can I Recycle This (CIRT) Materials Recovery Platform is a tech-enabled circular economy solution that aggregates decentralized waste, recycling, recovery and reuse schemes across the U.S. MSW recycling system currently faces a number of challenges, including confusion about what materials can be recycled, recycling infrastructure that has not kept pace with today's diverse and changing waste ...

  6. Robotic, Artificial intelligence (AI) Powered Trash System for Facility Sorting and Auditing Waste and Educating Transient Populations

    SBC: CLEANROBOTICS            Topic: 4B

    CleanRobotics has developed a robotic, artificial intelligence (AI) powered system, called TrashBot, for sorting and auditing recycling, landfill, and compost from facilities with transient populations. Our system has the unique capability of ensuring proper waste sorting of up to four waste streams with the added cost reduction of eliminating user intervention. Discarding waste becomes an educati ...

  7. SBIR Phase II: Mobile Plastic Ocean Waste Recycler

    SBC: PKS CONSULTING, INC.            Topic: 5B

    Plastic Ocean Waste (POW) is accumulating in our oceans and on our beaches at an accelerating rate. Eight million metric tons (8M MT) of plastic is entering the world's oceans each year at a rate of one ton per minute. Alaska represents 53% of the U.S. coastline. During Phase I, we estimated the amount of POW accumulating on Alaska's shorelines at 34,500 to 51,700 MT/yr at a rate of three ton per ...

  8. Metal Organic Frameworks for Low‐Cost Radon Mitigation

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 2E

    Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, resulting in about 21,000 deaths annually. This exposure is due to accumulation of radon in the soils below homes and subsequent diffusion or convection into our living spaces. TDA Research, Inc., (TDA) proposes to develop a novel low‐cost radon mitigation system, using a state‐of‐the‐art metal‐organic fra ...

  9. A New Photo‐catalyst Based Air Treatment System to Reduce the Risks from Transmission of Viruses and Bacteria

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 3A

    Treating the air in common, high traffic areas to eliminate biological contaminants (e.g., virus, bacteria, fungus) could reduce the transmission of airborne diseases. UV germicidal irradiation has been shown to inactivate all types of microorganisms including drug‐sensitive and multi‐drug‐resistant bacteria and different viral strains. TDA Research, in collaboration with Arizona State Unive ...

  10. Automated Waste Sorting at the Point of Disposal

    SBC: CLEANROBOTICS            Topic: 4B

    CleanRobotics seeks to improve the US recycling system by using robotic sorting, powered by object detection, artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) to sort up between 2-4 streams (recycling, compost, landfill, etc) at the point of collection. This will improve the collection and sortation of recyclables in the US, where total collection rates are 35% and successful sortation rates a ...
