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. Ultra-High Energy Resolution Electron Monochromator for Atomic Resolution Studies

    SBC: Nion Co            Topic: C5313a

    C53-13a-271299A recent development in electron microscopes improved energy resolution ten times, enabling a new field of science: the study of atomic vibrations at the nanometer scale, down to single atoms. The proposed development will improve the energy resolution 3x further, extending the field to new areas including quantum information technology. A new type of electron monochromator, used tog ...

  2. Switched-Field Surface NMR for Enhanced Detection and Resolution of Shallow Groundwater

    SBC: VISTA CLARA INC.            Topic: C4724c

    C47-24c-271412This proposal addresses the challenge of non-invasively, economically, and accurately detect and imaging groundwater and hydrogeological properties in the top 30m of the subsurface. We will apply imaging methodologies at the core of medical MRI to efficiently map shallow groundwater and hydrogeologic properties at improved resolution. Conventional surface NMR has been proven as a pow ...

  4. A Flexible Fuel Ultra-low NOx Process Burner

    SBC: CLEARSIGN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION            Topic: C5421c

    Industrial heating processes are a significant contribution to global carbon emissions. There is an urgent need to reduce these emissions by decarbonizing such processes. While transitioning to hydrogen-based fuels is a promising solution, there are no existing process burners that can operate with 100% hydrogen and still comply with strict NOx emission requirements. To tackle this challenge, Clea ...

  6. Economical Thermal Transfer Media for Generation 3 Concentrating Solar Power System with High Durability

    SBC: ADVANCED MATERIALS SCIENTIA LLC            Topic: C5216h

    The Department of Energy seeks a solution the improve the thermal transfer fluid for particle-based concentrating solar power (CSP) system. While ceramic proppants have been widely used for thermal transfer media, their high cost (>$1,000/ton) is a significant hurdle for further reduction of the Levelized cost of energy (LCOE). If the invented media or particles show excellent solar absorptivity a ...

  8. Field Demonstration of Highly Conductive Nano-engineered Geopolymer Cements for Geothermal Applications-Phase II

    SBC: GREENPATH SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: C5220g

    GHPs (ground heat pumps) have extensive potential applications in the US. Shallow-earth resources exist across all 50 states and can be used for GHPs wherever the ground can be cost-effectively accessed to depths below seasonal temperature variations. The key to reducing geothermal project costs is to minimize well construction costs, including borehole length. Using a thermally conductive grout ( ...

  10. Modular Instrumentation and Automated Data Processing for Marine Energy Monitoring

    SBC: MARINESITU INC            Topic: C5218b

    Environmental monitoring of marine energy converters (MECs) often requires continuous optical and acoustical monitoring to detect and classify interactions with marine animals. There is no currently available integrated instrumentation system on the market however that offers real time autonomous data processing capabilities. There is a need for both lower-cost underwater camera systems and user-f ...
