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. Multi-scale Physics-based Modeling of Particle-Impact Erosion of CMCs

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: N19BT033

    Sand particles ingested into aeroengines can impinge on components made of ceramic-matrix composites (CMCs) and cause structural damage including long-term erosion. Experimental analysis of erosion typically focuses on the damage footprint and mass loss and is limited in the range of operating parameters that can be examined. Hence, high-fidelity modeling of the erosion process is essential to der ...

  2. Analysis and Modeling of Erosion in Gas-Turbine Grade Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs)

    SBC: ALPHASTAR TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: N19BT033

    A significant barrier to the insertion of ceramic matrix composite (CMC) materials into advanced aircraft engines is their inherent lack of toughness under erosion and post erosion. Our team will develop and demonstrate a physics-based model for erosion/post erosion of CMC’s at room and elevated temperatures (RT/ET). The ICME (Integrated Computational Material Engineering) Physics based Multi Sc ...

  5. Advanced, High-Performance, Low-Noise Propeller Designs for Small UxS

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: N20AT006

    Improved propeller designs for Small Unmanned Aerial Systems are needed to improve performance and reduce acoustic emissions. Traditional propeller design methods don’t take advantage of advances in coupled fluid, structure and acoustics computational design methods nor advances in high strength, high modulus materials to extend performance of propellers and reduce noise emissions. In the propos ...

  9. TIS: Trusted Sensor Integration

    SBC: Objectsecurity LLC            Topic: N20AT011

    Condition-based maintenance plus (CBM+), and cyber-physical systems (CPS) in general, depend on correct sensor data for analysis, decision making and control loops. If the sensor data that arrives at the point of processing is not correct, or more accurate, is outside its accepted error range, then any further processing will be incorrect as well. This could result in, in the case of CBM+, not det ...
