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. Lateral Interference Tilted Excitation (LITE)

    SBC: MIZAR IMAGING LLC            Topic: 32aq

    Super-resolution imaging provides the ability to measure (i.e., resolve) objects that are smaller than the ~200 nanometer resolution limit of visible light. This can provide more detailed examinations into cellular metabolism and subcellular compartments, potentially leading to new advances in renewable energy production from microbial and plant sources. To date, however, super-resolution has been ...

  2. Light Disc Microscopy

    SBC: MIZAR IMAGING LLC            Topic: C5328a

    Biological systems operate at the nanoscale while at the same time forming complex macroscale communities. Therefore, resolving interactions and tracking key metabolic processes within living systems requires multi-scale imaging, enabling visualization of live cells at the community, cellular, subcellular, and single-molecule scales. While techniques like light sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) ...

  3. Computer-aided modeling and analysis tools for bioprocess industrialization

    SBC: OM BHARTI LLC            Topic: C5517a

    Bioprocess development, scaleup and optimization is a significant undertaking. A lack of complete understanding of the underlying biological processes and a shortage of a trained workforce in this field has made the development process slow and inefficient, thus leading to continued reliance on non-renewable petroleum-based chemistries for fuels and chemicals. The overall goal of this project is t ...

  4. Solar Blind Deep UV Avalanche Photo Detectors and Arrays

    SBC: ADROIT MATERIALS, INC.            Topic: ST18C003

    The objective of this project is to develop a compact and efficient avalanche photodiode (APD), operating between 200-250 nm, for implementation in the next generation bio-chem-detectors. The proposed detectors will be based on the AlGaN materials system and will be solar blind, highly sensitive, smaller, less expensive, and more robust than current UV detectors. Development of such APDs will enab ...

  5. Natural Rubber Production

    SBC: EDISON AGROSCIENCES INC            Topic: ST18C001

    Natural rubber is an essential manufacturing material that possesses performance properties that are superior to synthetic rubber for many product applications. However, natural rubber production is limited to a single species (rubber tree) in a limited geographic area (Southeast Asia) and is predicted to be incapable of meeting future demand. Producing rubber from another commercial crop such as ...

  6. Multifunctional Metamaterial Laser Energy Control

    SBC: OXFORD DEFENSE NORTH CAROLINA LLC            Topic: HR001121S000729

    Oxford Defense North Carolina, LLC (ODNC) and the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) will collaborate to develop a beam control metamaterial surface in this Phase I STTR effort. A concern with laser beamed energy systems is the inadvertent exposure of operators and bystanders to inadvertently scattered or reflected laser energy. In an energy web system, multiple transmitters and recei ...

  7. A miniature, low-cost black carbon sensor for unmanned platforms

    SBC: Handix Scientific Inc.            Topic: 17b

    Achieving a systems-level understanding of science associated with climate change is a key topic within the DOE mission. Light absorbing particles are an important atmospheric constituent and have a direct impact on climate. They also impact air quality and health and human activities play a major role in their abundance and distribution. There is a critical need for improved observational capacit ...

  8. Thermal Emission Control using Photonic Crystals

    SBC: PSQUAREDT LLC            Topic: HR001120S001925

    To achieve the requisite fast, dynamic thermal switching times, we postulate the use of a Photonic Crystal (PC) filament operating at l=1-2mm. Our electrically biased PC design will be super thin to allow for fast on-off intensity-switching. It will have a small thermal mass and exhibit laser-like input-output characteristics, i.e. “Planck laser”. We will provide a theoretical framework for ou ...

  9. Tailored Oxide-Molten Salt (OMS) Composites for High-Operating-Temperature Thermal Energy Storage

    SBC: CATALYTIC AND REDOX SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: C5419b

    The difficulty in both utilizing industrial waste heat, as well as time shifting heat production vs. utilization is a major barrier to decarbonizing US manufacturing. Several industrial sectors such as steel and glass manufacturers produce large amounts of high temperature “waste” heat. However, absent energy storage, this power must be utilized near simultaneously with waste heat generation, ...

  10. Low-temperature chemical looping reforming catalysts for small-footprint GTL

    SBC: CATALYTIC AND REDOX SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: 22a

    Methane from U.S. shale deposits has significantly increased the usable amount of this domestic energy resource. Meanwhile, flaring of natural gas, which is commonly practiced in shale-oil production, exceeded 6 billion cubic meters in the United State annually. This leads to a waste of valuable energy resources and significant emissions of greenhouse gas. As such, small-footprint technologies tha ...
