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. Catalytic N2O Decomposition for Piloted Scramjet Ignition

    SBC: REACTION SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: AF083121

    Achieving hypersonic flight with air breathing vehicles using logistics fuels is a demanding task. A significant challenge in the development of single use and reusable systems alike is ignition of the scramjet engine at low Mach numbers. Unfortunately, current ignition systems do not provide reliable performance at low Mach number. Therefore, there is a strong need for a significant ignition capa ...

  2. Adaptive Zoom Collimator Design and Risk Reduction

    SBC: NUTRONICS, INC.            Topic: AF103018

    Ground-based testing of air / space-borne sensors & trackers (SBIRS, GMD, THAAD, etc.) requires achromatic optical collimation systems that can project dynamic scenes & targets at very large apparent distances. The collimation system must undergo major adjustments to optimally accommodate the FOV of various test articles, but the projection quality is extremely sensitive to misalignment of the lar ...

  3. Cell-to-Cell Thermal/Projectile Communication Mitigation during Thermal Runaway in Batteries

    SBC: ADA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: AF141071

    Lithium ion (Li-ion) batteries are ubiquitous in space and military applications, generating more efficient and effective systems. The increase in Li-ion cells also represents an increase in hazardous cell failure instances. Electrical shorting, overcharging, over-discharging, and physical damage to the cells can result in thermal runaway (TR), yielding violent and explosive events that can result ...

  4. A Miniaturized, Lower Cost Static Diffusion Chamber for Cloud Condensation Nuclei Measurements

    SBC: Handix Scientific Inc.            Topic: 25c

    The impacts of aerosol on cloud properties remains a major obstacle to better understanding of Earth’s changing energy budget and quantifying their impacts is a DOE objective and of broader benefit to the public. Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) have a potentially major impact on cloud droplet number and size, and thereby affect cloud radiative properties, cloud lifetime, and precipitation. Impro ...

  5. Highly Selective Anion Exchange Membranes for Non-aqueous Redox Flow Batteries

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 19a

    There is a need for long duration energy storage at wind farms and solar photovoltaic facilities and redox flow cell batteries could potentially solve this problem. Non-aqueous redox flow batteries are superior to the more common aqueous flow batteries because they can avoid the problems caused by the breakdown of water at high voltage. However, most non-aqueous flow batteries are based on transit ...

  6. Thermal Interface Materials for Cooling High-Power Electronics

    SBC: SKYHAVEN SYSTEMS, LLC            Topic: 29d

    The Department of Energy is soliciting advancements in cooling high power density electronics such as RF devices used in the PIP-II MEBT beam deflector. GaN FETs in particular have a five times lower capacitance and five times faster switching speed than traditional MOSFETs, and thus are being integrated into particle beam choppers and beam deflectors at Fermilab. The thermal management needs of t ...

  7. Polymer Derived Ceramic Materials and Processes for Joining of Nuclear-Grade SiC-SiC Composites

    SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC            Topic: 20b

    To achieve energy security and clean energy objectives, the United States must develop and deploy clean, affordable, domestic energy sources as quickly as possible. Nuclear power will continue to be a key component of a portfolio of technologies that meets our energy goals. Key R&D objectives that address challenges to expanding the use of nuclear power includes developing technologies that can im ...

  9. Computational Tool for Modeling and Design of Rugged GaAs- based Polarized Electron Sources

    SBC: TECH-X CORPORATION            Topic: 30d

    High-current, high-brightness, spin-polarized electron beams are required for next generation electron-ion colliders (EIC). Proposed cathode designs are based on negative electron affinity (NEA) GaAs. A major limitation of these cathodes is their operational lifetime due to their susceptibility to damages in electron guns. Recent experiments done in Cornell University have demonstrated that a NEA ...

  10. Oxygen Selective Metal Organic Framework Adsorbents for High Efficiency Air Separation

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 23b

    While cryogenic ASU is the technology of choice to supply oxygen to large plants, they are very expensive and includes complex hardware that prevent to cost-effective scale down and use in small installations. At small scale, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is widely used. PSA is based on the selective reversible adsorption of nitrogen (but not oxygen) onto molecular sieve sorbents. The convention ...
