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. Microstructured Semiconductor Neutron Detectors for Spent Nuclear Fuel in Dry Storage Canister Inspection and Monitoring

    SBC: RADIATION DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: C5437b

    A need persists for innovative sensor solutions to monitor the integrity and internal conditions of dry storage cask systems for spent nuclear fuel. Spent fuel is loaded in these dry storage cannisters (DSC) which are typically welded, 5/8-inch-thick stainless steel that are then inserted for long term storage in metal or concrete overpacks. The objective of this project is to design, fabricate, a ...

  2. 08b: Drone-deployable transmission sensor unit for widespread phasor, power quality, and environmental measurement to increase grid throughput, reliability, and efficiency

    SBC: PITCH AERONAUTICS INC.            Topic: C5608b

    Dynamic Line Ratings (DLRs) can dramatically increase transmission line current capacity, allowing increased renewable energy penetration, decreased line congestion, and prevention of line construction. However, DLR implementation highly depends on unmeasured local line wind, solar irradiation, and line conditions. Today these conditions are only modeled or measured at isolated locations along a s ...

  3. Powder Injection Molding Processes for Manufacture of Fast Reactor Nuclear Fuels

    SBC: J FOSTER & ASSOCIATES LLC            Topic: C5640v

    Current methods of manufacturing sodium fast reactor (SFR) fuels are constrained to small window of manufacturability. Powder forming processes could provide unique material advantages over traditional casting and extrusion techniques; however, fuel materials in powder form are highly reactive with oxygen and represent a pyrophoric hazard. U and Pu alloys and ceramics are easily dispersible in pow ...

  4. Powder Injection Overmolding of High Burnup Light Water Reactor Fuels

    SBC: J FOSTER & ASSOCIATES LLC            Topic: C5640v

    Globally, the majority of nuclear reactors in operation are light water reactor (LWR) designs and are expected to remain a steadfast low-energy carbon sources for the foreseeable. LWR technology would greatly benefit from fuel materials that can withstand increased burnup, however. By creating a fuel with higher burnup capability, fuels can remain in the reactor longer, leading to less refueling o ...

  5. In Situ Catalyst Deposition for Liquid Alkaline Impure Water Electrolysis

    SBC: AVIUM, LLC            Topic: C5618l

    Successful deployment of water-splitting technologies to produce green hydrogen holds the potential to enable large-scale renewable energy storage on the grid and help decarbonize the chemical industry. Currently, every commercial green hydrogen technology uses pure water as the feedstock, which adds to the costs and energy requirements of these systems. If innovative technologies can be developed ...

  6. High-resolution/high-precision PEM Quality Control

    SBC: RESONON, INC.            Topic: C5618h

    High-quality, defect free, and consistent thickness Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) films are required to ensure maximum efficiency and longevity over the life of hydrogen fuel cells or electrolyzers utilizing this technology. The current technologies of PEM film Quality Assurance (QA) and defect detection rely on human inspection, which can be subjective and labor intensive, or measurement technol ...

  7. Self-Security for Grid-Interactive Smart Inverters

    SBC: EPOWER TECHNOLOGY LLC            Topic: C5601a

    Widespread utilization of smart inverters in the power grid with information exchange capability through cyber-physical networks poses the threat of cyberattack. The stability and reliability of the power grid can be jeopardized, resulting in economic loss to utility and consumers if inverters are hacked to perform malicious actions. Communication protocols have been developed focusing on the safe ...

  8. Commercialization of the Micro Pocket Fission Detector (MPFD)

    SBC: RADIATION DETECTION TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: C5436q

    Problem: A need persists for innovative sensors and measurement technologies to characterize parameters that directly support existing power reactors, materials test reactors, and transient test reactors. Science performed at DOE test reactors inspires future nuclear energy technology and requires more precise and localized instrumentation. Next generation nuclear reactors also benefit from higher ...

  10. Software for Multiphysics Analysis and Design of Annular Linear Induction Pumps

    SBC: Maidana, Carlos            Topic: C5436d

    High-temperature nuclear reactors, and irradiation test-capsules, make use of molten metals and their alloys for heat transfer functions from the active zones due to its high degree of thermal conductivity. Pumping of these liquid media by classical mechanical radial or axial pumps is, however, rather difficult and the lifetime of such devices is relatively low. It is known that electromagnetic pu ...
