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. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms for predictive maintenance using NOAA data-sets for renewable energy assets

    SBC: 60Hertz Incorporated            Topic: 92

    This research aims to develop decision support tools for better maintenance and planning of renewable energy generation and storage assets using atmospheric, local weather, and on-ground environmental data blended with site-, regional- and national-generation data. The study will use a combination of these data to understand the relationship between non-cloud cover based atmospheric conditions and ...

  2. Automated monitoring of salmonoids in streams with new solid-state LiDar

    SBC: FIELD DATA SERVICES LLC            Topic: 93

    Maintaining healthy populations of salmon and trout (salmonids) has significant biological, cultural, and economic benefits. Significant data gaps exist for sources of mortality in juvenile and adult salmonids in small streams. These gaps can create discrepancies between main stem escapement counts and estimates of population health. Field Data Services, LLC is developing novel camera trap technol ...

  3. The pHyter and Other Oceanographic Tools for Citizen Science and STEM

    SBC: SUNBURST SENSORS, LLC            Topic: 95

    The pHyter is a handheld device that accurately measures pH using colorimetry, communicating with a cellphone via Bluetooth Low Energy. The app records location, time, temperature, pH and meta-data. In Phase I, we redesigned the instrument using an ‘internet of things’ development platform, modified the app to operate on both Android and iOS phones, and showed, through a network of partners, t ...

  4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms for predictive maintenance using NOAA data-sets for renewable energy assets

    SBC: 60Hertz Incorporated            Topic: 92

    We propose to use Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) measurements as an early warning system, to cue on-site validation of the soiling station and any available meteorological (MET) station data to validate if a work order to clean deposited particulate matter is necessary. This would move from reactive maintenance – often weeks delayed, to proactive maintenance – getting ahead of the weather impact ...

  5. Automated Monitoring of Salmon Streams with a New Solid-State LiDAR

    SBC: FIELD DATA SERVICES LLC            Topic: 93

    Field Data Services (FDS) proposes a technical feasibility study of newly available solid state LiDAR sensor chips for detecting migrating anadromous fish in small spawning streams. The LiDAR chip, first introduced in October 2020, uses an invisible infrared laser to measure time-of-flight distances to nearby objects with millimeter accuracy. This tiny computer chip is breakthrough technology that ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Automated aqueous two-phase separation of single walled carbon nanotube species for enrichment process optimization and scale up

    SBC: ZYMOSENSE INC.            Topic: 2

    Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNT) are known to have a variety of unique functional properties with utility in applications including optical sensing, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and water filtration. However, when manufactured, SWCNT occur as a heterogenous, polydisperse material that exhibits a range of properties that diminish performance. Purification of SWCNT by aqueous two-phase (ATP) ...

  8. pHyter: An Oceanographic Tool for Citizen Science and STEM Education

    SBC: SUNBURST SENSORS, LLC            Topic: 95

    NOAA SBIR topic 9.5 includes as a research priority the development of tools, platforms, … to make environmental information… more accessible, usable, understandable, and relatable to students, citizen scientists, and the public. Sunburst Sensors has twice used NOAA SBIR funding to successfully create new products. We propose using phase 1 funding to demonstrate the prototype pHyter as a tool ...

  9. Field Deployable Mid-Infrared Spectrometer for Monitoring Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Emissions from

    SBC: FIREFLY PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 20OSAPE2B

    Concentrated animal feeding operation (CAFO) is a designation by the U.S. EPA to represent large animal feeding operation with more than 1000 animal units confined on site for more than 45 days during the year. CAFOs emit many volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the atmosphere. Current multi-gas sensor technologies are not sufficiently portable and are utilized either offline in a lab-setting o ...

  10. Hydrothermal Alkaline Treatment of PFAS Contaminated Water and Groundwater

    SBC: Aquagga, Inc.            Topic: 20OSAPE3A

    Per-and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used extensively since the 1940s due to their chemical stability and unique thermophysical properties. Those same properties make PFAS extremely recalcitrant environmental pollutants, and bioaccumulative toxins. Regulations are rapidly being established by U.S. states, including Michigan, New Hampshire, and New Jersey, beholding municipal water u ...
