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. Production of Uranium from Seawater Using a Novel Polymer Adsorbent- Process Development and Cost Analysis

    SBC: LCW SUPERCRITICAL TECHNOLOGIES CORP            Topic: 32i

    Seawater contains about 3 parts per billion of uranium. With a total ocean volume of approximately 1.3109 km3, there is at least 4.5 billion tons of uranium in seawater which is about 1000 times the amount of uranium known to exist in terrestrial ores. Mining uranium from seawater is economically feasibility if an efficient, reusable and low-cost adsorbent could be developed. In the past year, ...

  2. Using a Plasma Fuel Reformer to Extend Combustion Lean Limits

    SBC: INENTEC, INC.            Topic: 22c

    There is a clear and unmet need for technologies to improve power generation flexibility to enable cost effective and reliable high renewable energy fractions in modern grids. Specifically, gas turbine generator turndown ratio may be improved by extending combustion lean flammability limits. This project will deliver a prototype plasma reformer system integrated with gas turbine combustors to allo ...

  3. Enhanced Electronic Interconnects using ZTACH ACA:No Pressure, Low-Temperature, Self-Assembly Material Process

    SBC: SUNRAY SCIENTIFIC INC.            Topic: 27e

    Upcoming HEP projects require physical and electrical bonds between opposite points of thin parallel circuit faces which areless than 50 microns in pitch, but current methods, such as bump-soldering and anisotropic conductive adhesives (ACA) and films (ACF) cannot reach these resolution limits and furthermore require heat and pressure that damage delicate circuitry. SunRay ZTACH™ is an anisotrop ...

  4. Picosecond Timing Measurement IC for Particle Physics Experiments

    SBC: ALPHACORE INC            Topic: 27j

    Several high energy physics experiments require accurate timing measurements and transient digitization at high sampling rates, equaling or exceeding 5 gigasamples per second (GSPS). To date, only a few transient digitizer chips have been developed for this purpose and they are based on storing the analog samples onto long buffers from which they are digitized with low-rate analog-to-digital conve ...

  5. Large Parts Additive Manufacturing

    SBC: ATS-MER, LLC            Topic: 18b

    Modern fossil fuel energy production requires large scale machines with big size componentry. Such processes require using high temperatures and thus, chemically stable materials resistant against creep, wear, and high temperature oxidation. Manufacturing large size parts from high temperature alloys runs in many challenges related to chemical homogeneity/ phase composition stability and microstru ...

  6. High Value Carbon Products from Domestic Coal

    SBC: ATS-MER, LLC            Topic: 18c

    Outside of fuel and heat value of domestic coal there are very limited applications to manufacture carbon products including the byproduct coal tar pitch (CTP) which is a high value feedstock to produce high value carbon products whose value exceeds the fuel and heat values of the coal. There is no current domestic producer of CTP in spite of its value to produce battery anodes, graphite fibers, c ...

  7. Solid-State Klystron Driver for Lower Hybrid Current Drive

    SBC: EAGLE HARBOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 21b

    Launching radio frequency (RF) waves from the high-field side (HFS) of a tokamak has the potential to be an efficient off-axis current drive method while reducing the plasma-material interaction issues of the antenna. Researchers at the Plasma Science and Fusion Center (PSFC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have proposed to reuse existing equipment at MIT, including CPI klystron ...

  8. A Cuk Converter for Validation Platform Experiments

    SBC: EAGLE HARBOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 21d

    The ability to robustly generate increased pulsed power levels at low cost is a challenge for the fusion energy community. Many applications supported by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Fusion Energy Science (FES) program would benefit from a commercially available low-cost, robust, high current/voltage pulsed solid-state power supplies including pulsed magnetics, feedback and control systems f ...

  9. Low Temperature Plasma Flame Stabilization in a Porous Ceramic Medium

    SBC: CLEARSIGN TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION            Topic: 22c

    It is well known that a Low Temperature Plasma (LTP) can extend the operating envelope of flames, however scaling LTP systems has been identified as a challenge which has had limited technological advancement. Using LTP to enhance flame stability in industrial scale burners can lead to more robust operations while also providing a reduction in NOx emissions and increases in operating efficiencies. ...

  10. Electrochromic Auto-Darkening Windows for Buildings for Energy Conservation Based on Unique Conducting Polymers and Already Demonstrated in Sunglasses

    SBC: Ashwin-Ushas Corporation            Topic: 09a

    Residential/commercial buildings account for >40% of US energy demand 70% of electricity use, costing >$430 billion/year. If auto-darkening windows were available for building windows in warmer US regions, energy for cooling could be greatly reduced without effect on visibility. Now in ongoing and prior work, this firm has developed novel, auto-darkening electrochromic sunglasses based on unique, ...
