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. Alternative Reaction/Extraction Media to Reduce Energy and Cost of Biodiesel Production

    SBC: AEROPHASE, INC.            Topic: 07

    Worldwide fossil-fuel consumption is skyrocketing ¿ creating major social, political, economic, and environmental problems for the U.S. ¿ and once again revealing the urgent need to boost renewable energy sources, including biodiesel. However, key technical and economic challenges continue to make biodiesel fuel production too costly to compete with other liquid fuels, largely based on the cost ...

  6. The Ratiometric NDIR Analyzer for Robotic Platforms

    SBC: Atmospheric Observing Systems, Inc.            Topic: 16b

    Almost all of America¿s energy needs are supplied by the combustion of fossil fuels, and a great amount of anthropogenic CO2 is a byproduct of this process. Instrumentation is needed to (1) better track the CO2 as it is processed by the global carbon cycle and (2) improve the prediction of the consequences of this form of energy production. The instrumentation must be deployed on small balloons a ...
