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. Spouted Bed Reactor Designs for Thermal Desorption of Mercury Compounds

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 18a

    Thermal desorption systems are being utilized to remove toxic mercury compounds from coal. However, high moisture level, poor mixing, and unsuitable heating rate reduce the efficiency of thermal desorption units. Spouted bed reactor, which have been used in various physical operations such as drying, presents a possible solution in reducing moisture level and increasing particles mixing. The propo ...

  3. Method for the Production of Diamond-hardfaced Titanium Carbide/titanium Bits for Geothermal Drilling

    SBC: DIAMOND MATERIALS INC            Topic: 16a

    Drilling is equally important for survey purposes, for oil and natural gas exploration, and in searches for water in arid areas. Drill bits with extended service lives are needed to improve the economics of today’s drilling systems, particularly in high temperature, high pressure and erosive gases environments encountered in deep wells close to sources of hot magma. We will develop diamond-hard ...

  4. Microwave-Fluidized Catalytic Reactor for the Direct Conversion of Methane to Higher Hydrocarbons

    SBC: H Quest Vanguard Inc            Topic: 17a

    Over the past decade, the growth of unconventional oil and gas has resulted in discovery and availability of vast quantities of natural gas across the United States. In many regions, lack or deficit of adequate infrastructure results in gas being stranded, or, in case of oil-associated gas, wastefully vented or flared, needlessly contributing to GHG emissions and global warming. Although manufactu ...

  7. A Scale Up Reactor for a Novel Quartz Based Methane Aromatization Catalyst

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 17a

    The United States chemical market relies on many petroleum based chemicals, such as ethylene, benzene, or toluene, as building blocks for other chemical products. Recently, the United States has put much effort into recovering the abundant amounts of shale gas. The Department of Energy is seeking novel catalytic processes to help produce from natural gas the same chemicals that historically have h ...

  8. Plasma-Assisted Low-Temperature Combustion and Ignition

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 22d

    Low-temperature plasma has many applications including its use for ozone production. Ozone is a very strong oxidizer (only second to fluorine) and used in widely diverse systems, some of which include ignition control and performance improvement for combustion systems, NOx reduction from power plants, and water treatment and disinfection. While these systems span a broad range of scales, all requ ...

  9. Magnetic Bearings for Supercritical CO2 Service

    SBC: Concepts NREC, LLC            Topic: 14d

    Supercritical CO2 power cycles are being developed for both utility-scaled power generation applications, as well as smaller waste heat recovery applications. Supercritical CO2 cycles are more efficient than current cycles, and the associated turbomachinery components are significantly smaller than that for current steam turbine-based power generation. However, sCO2 cycles operate at a combination ...

  10. Wide-Range High-Boost Turbocharging System Using Advanced Aerodynamic Design Features

    SBC: Concepts NREC, LLC            Topic: 29f

    Several automotive industry changes are leading to the need for wide-range, high-boost turbocharging systems. Engine emission requirements require good turbocharger performance over a very wide range of flow rates. Trends in engine downsizing require turbochargers to have both good high flow performance, and good low flow performance, to cover a wide range of engine rpm operation. Current methods ...
