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. Ultrasound Assisted Oxidative Desulfurization of JP-8 Fuel

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: A07T017

    The Army has identified solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) power systems as a potential solution to a variety of power needs ranging from roughly 0.1 - 100 kW. Reformed JP-8, the Army logistics fuel, can be used as the feed, but the fuel sulfur content must first be reduced to 10 ppm. We plan to test a novel ultrasonic slurry reactor as part of a compact desulfurization process for treatment of sulfur ...

  2. Xenopus Melanophore-Based Toxicity Sensor for Water

    SBC: AGAVE BIOSYSTEMS INC.            Topic: A07T030

    Deployed armed forces often have to rely on water that is produced from decentralized sources, which presents significant difficulties for assuring the water is free of chemical toxicants. Analysis of these water supplies often requires complex instrumentation that is not practical for field use. An innovative alternative is the use of cell-based biosensors that can rapidly assess the general to ...

  3. Detection of Explosive Materials Using an Encapsulated Fluorescent Bioprobe

    SBC: AGAVE BIOSYSTEMS INC.            Topic: A06T025

    The use of explosives over the last 100 years has left up to 16,000 military ranges contaminated with highly toxic compounds. A major challenge to the remediation of these ranges is identifying the location of persistent explosives residues. To meet this challenge, Agave BioSystems in collaboration with Universities Space Research Agency (USRA) is developing an encapsulated fluorescent bioprobe ...

  4. Control of Dislocations for Improved IR Sensors Using Epitaxial Necking

    SBC: AGILTRON, INC.            Topic: A06T021

    It is well established that in order to produce large-format LWIR HgCdTe FPAs for third-generation IR systems, Si substrates must be used. In the DoD Militarily Critical Technologies List (December 2005), HgCdTe/Si is listed as a critical material and achieving an etch pit density (EPD) < 1x106 cm-2 is identified as a critical technology parameter. Thus it is imperative that a manufacturable techn ...

  5. Low Power MEMS Retroreflectors for Optical Communications

    SBC: Boston Micromachines Corporation            Topic: A06T005

    Optical communication is emerging rapidly as a critical need for military operations. Through pioneering work in optical micro-electrical mechanical systems (MEMS) devices, the project team has created new technologies that can expand the capabilities of existing Warfighter equipment including NIR laser aiming/illumination with I2 night vision, laser rangefinding, laser target designation, and sh ...

  6. Portable Fully-Automated Soil Property Measurement Probe

    SBC: CSA Engineering, Inc.            Topic: A07T015

    The CSA-UCDavis team proposes to develop a soil measurement device to allow for rapid and accurate measurement of soil parameters in order to rapidly and accurately characterize the terrain. The device will be man-portable but also allow for mounting to a small robotic vehicle. Parameters that will be measured include but are not limited to cone index, soil friction index, as well as soil shear ...

  7. Multi-Analyte, Wearable Chemical Nanosensor for Warfighter Physiological Status Monitor (WPSM)

    SBC: ELINTRIX            Topic: A07T035

    There is a large unmet need for low-power sensor systems. This is not due to a lack of transducers, for there are many physical properties of a molecule or nanostructure that can be harnessed to perform the basic sensing task. The absence is due to problems in integrating science with technology into a small, portable, packageable scale. While it is relatively easy for the instrument designer t ...

  8. Automation of Strategic Planning Frameworks

    SBC: Frontier Technology Inc.            Topic: OSD07T001

    As the U.S. Government continues to post-conflict reconstruction and stabilization (R/S) around the globe, the implementation of an automated strategic planning aid is critical to future success. The objective of this program is to demonstrate the feasibility of a strategic planning framework that leverages the latest collaboration technologies to provide desktop access to R/S goals, missions and ...

  9. Segmented Co-Polymer for Alkaline Fuel Cell Membranes

    SBC: GINER INC            Topic: A07T016

    Alkaline fuel cells (AFCs) have many advantages over proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) including more rapid electrode kinetics, ability to use non-noble metal catalysts, and the ability to use lower cost materials of construction. AFC drawbacks include the use of a liquid electrolyte such as concentrated KOH that can introduce problems such as the formation of insoluble carbonates, resu ...

  10. Nostra: Power System Condition Monitoring and Prognostics

    SBC: IROBOT CORP.            Topic: A07T013

    Complex electro-mechanical systems will inevitably fail. These failures can be mitigated by modeling the system and predicting failures. We propose to build Nostra, a system that takes knowledge from domain experts as well as observed data and creates a model-based inference system for predicting failure in electronic systems. The Nostra system consists of three parts: a model, an inference eng ...
