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. Development of an Autonomous Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor with Integrated Calibration and Quality Assurance Capability.

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: 20b

    Statement of the Problem: Ambient aerosol particles play a significant role in adversely affecting human health, in altering the chemistry and the radiative balance of the Earth’s atmosphere, and in reducing visibility. However, there are significant uncertainties in the sources and chemical transformations of particulate matter and how they relate to climate forcing. Organic aerosol is a key co ...

  6. Manufacture of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid from Furfural Produced from a Wet Waste Stream

    SBC: KSE, INC.            Topic: 14c

    The proposed program provides a new biomass conversion technology to produce FDCA, 2,5- furandicarboxylic acid, to replace hydrocarbon chemicals for production of plasticizers and polyester polymers. FDCA is currently produced from hexose carbohydrates, such as sucrose or high fructose corn syrup. Recent trends in global petroleum pricing have greatly reduced biomass raw material cost ...

  7. Efficient Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors through Low-Fouling Membranes

    SBC: Nano Terra, Inc.            Topic: 14a

    Liquid fuel production from biomass in anaerobic membrane bioreactors has the potential to sup- ply the United States and the world with a large fraction of its liquid fuels from renewable biomass. The high cost and negative energy balance of such systems, however, makes the wide-spread adoption of this technology unfeasible to address energy needs. Biofouling of the membranes is at the root of th ...

  8. Ultracompact laser ceilometer for boundary layer and cloud height retrievals; 20(c)

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: 20c

    The advent of sensor networks to gather atmospheric data for weather and climate prediction on large spatial and temporal scales is crucial to the advancement of our understanding of many different important processes that make up such predictive models. A prime example is the height of the atmospheric boundary layer, which is used to parameterize boundary layer transport in numerical weather pred ...
