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. 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 ...

  2. Development of robust fully autonomous machine learning-based cloud processing for Infrared Cloud Imagers

    SBC: NWB SENSORS INC            Topic: C5326b

    Cloud cover is an important but poorly characterized component of current climate models. In particular, there is a need to detect and quantify cloud cover in a physically meaningful manner. This need has led to the development of infrared cloud imagers. This system uses long-wave infrared cameras to observe the thermal emission from the clouds and produces a measurement of spatially distributed c ...

  3. Waveguide-based squeezed light sources

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: C5305a

    Squeezed light sources are a critical component of continuous variable quantum networking and quantum computing systems. Periodically poled nonlinear optical waveguides are a promising technology for squeezed light sources due to high conversion efficiency, long interaction length, robust fiber coupling, and integration potential. While these waveguides are available commercially, they are not opt ...

  5. Novel Additive Friction-Stir Deposition Method to Clad Nuclear-Reactor Structural Materials with Corrosion-Resistant Alloys

    SBC: NANOCOATINGS INC            Topic: C5320a

    The Department of Energy requires the development and demonstration of bimetallic or corrosion- resistant surfaces for structural and cooling components in contact with liquid-salt coolants used in nuclear-reactor systems. Proposed coating materials must survive thermo-mechanical loading (e.g., no flaking or spalling) during exposure to the high-temperature conditions encountered during reactor op ...

  7. Improved Creep Testing Approach for Bentonite EBS, Phase I

    SBC: RESPEC Company, LLC            Topic: C5437a

    Project Description: In the United States, the nuclear reactor contributes 18.7 percent of the nation’s total electricity generation and produces a significant amount of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level waste. Because SNF is being stored for longer periods than initially envisioned, the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy, Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technolo ...

  8. Optimized source of non-Gaussian states for use in hybrid discrete/continuous variable quantum information processing schemes

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: C5305a

    The US Department of Energy is developing long-distance optical quantum networks, establishing the need for commercial-grade photonic quantum light sources. There is a need to determine the optimal sources and information encoding schemes while the technologies are developed, possibly varying by application. Investigation of the merits of encoding schemes in parallel with commercial development of ...

  9. Commercial Production of Low-Loss Quantum Frequency Conversion and Electro-Optical Modulation Devices Enabled by Wafer-Level Processing of Reverse-Proton-Exchange Lithium Niobate Waveguides

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: C5106a

    Quantum optical networks will require all optical signal processing that is enabled by lithium niobate-based components. While many of these components are commercially available, they are not optimized for the ultra-low optical losses required for quantum applications. This program will develop refined processing techniques to fabricate ultra-low loss lithium niobate- based components, initially ...

  10. Supersonic Particle Deposition for the Application of a Bimetallic Corrosion Resistant Layer in Nuclear Components

    SBC: VRC Metal Systems, LLC            Topic: C4513a

    The problem being addressed is the expected shortfall in electrical power generation due to decreased supply and increased demand. Many coal-fired power plants are reaching the end of their life and are unlikely to be replaced by new coal fired plants due to emissions. Electrical power demand is expected to increase steadily through year 2050 due to population growth and increased electric vehicle ...
