Award Data
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.

08b: Drone-deployable transmission sensor unit for widespread phasor, power quality, and environmental measurement to increase grid throughput, reliability, and efficiency
SBC: PITCH AERONAUTICS INC. Topic: C5608bDynamic Line Ratings (DLRs) can dramatically increase transmission line current capacity, allowing increased renewable energy penetration, decreased line congestion, and prevention of line construction. However, DLR implementation highly depends on unmeasured local line wind, solar irradiation, and line conditions. Today these conditions are only modeled or measured at isolated locations along a s ...

Powder Injection Molding Processes for Manufacture of Fast Reactor Nuclear Fuels
SBC: J FOSTER & ASSOCIATES LLC Topic: C5640vCurrent methods of manufacturing sodium fast reactor (SFR) fuels are constrained to small window of manufacturability. Powder forming processes could provide unique material advantages over traditional casting and extrusion techniques; however, fuel materials in powder form are highly reactive with oxygen and represent a pyrophoric hazard. U and Pu alloys and ceramics are easily dispersible in pow ...

Powder Injection Overmolding of High Burnup Light Water Reactor Fuels
SBC: J FOSTER & ASSOCIATES LLC Topic: C5640vGlobally, the majority of nuclear reactors in operation are light water reactor (LWR) designs and are expected to remain a steadfast low-energy carbon sources for the foreseeable. LWR technology would greatly benefit from fuel materials that can withstand increased burnup, however. By creating a fuel with higher burnup capability, fuels can remain in the reactor longer, leading to less refueling o ...

Software for Multiphysics Analysis and Design of Annular Linear Induction Pumps
SBC: Maidana, Carlos Topic: C5436dHigh-temperature nuclear reactors, and irradiation test-capsules, make use of molten metals and their alloys for heat transfer functions from the active zones due to its high degree of thermal conductivity. Pumping of these liquid media by classical mechanical radial or axial pumps is, however, rather difficult and the lifetime of such devices is relatively low. It is known that electromagnetic pu ...

Exploring a Software-Hardware Framework for Computational Storage
SBC: GEM STATE INFORMATICS INC Topic: C5107cComputational Storage platforms are emerging as a disruptive enhancement in the data processing ecosystem as they have the potential to address the critical bottleneck of limited I/O bandwidth and high latency between storage and compute nodes in the system hierarchy. This “late coming” technology to the Exascale program has the potential to enhance DOE and the broader government’s leadershi ...

Additive Manufacturing 3100F Nanolaminate Matrix for Turbine Engines
SBC: ADVANCED CERAMIC FIBERS, L.L.C. Topic: 19aMajor manufacturers of stationary gas turbines for electrical power generation are studying the potential for using higher temperature and environmentally stable ceramic matrix composites (CMC) as engine components to improve turbine engine efficiencies. One manufacturer estimates that a simple 2% increase in efficiency would save more than $50MM over the life of one generator. Higher operating te ...

Embedded Class Secure Processor
SBC: IDAHO SCIENTIFIC LLC Topic: 12bA recent report from the Defense Science Board on cyber deterrence states that we have only seen the “virtual tip of the cyberattack iceberg.” This report warns that for at least the next 5-10 years, other nations will have offensive cyber capabilities that “far exceed the United States’ ability to defend and adequately strengthen the resilience of its critical infrastructures” and will ...

MEMBRANES AND MATERIALS FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY Subtopic: High Performance Conductors "Reinforced Commercial Metals for Enhanced Electrical and Thermal Conductivity"
SBC: ADVANCED CERAMIC FIBERS, L.L.C. Topic: 12bMajor improvements in the electrical and thermal conductivity of metals used in conductors are needed to improve the energy efficiency and reliability of our national electrical power systems. These metals need to be stronger and more resistant to corrosion, oxidation and fatigue which reduce the reliability and lifespan of conductors and create high costs for maintenance, repair and replacement. ...

COMPUTATIONAL TOOLS FOR THE DESIGN OF LIQUID METAL THERMOMAGNETIC SYSTEMS
SBC: Maidana, Carlos Topic: 32kLiquid metal cooled fission reactors are both moderated and cooled by a liquid metal solution. These reactors are typically very compact and they can be used in regular electric power production, for naval and space propulsion systems or in fission surface power systems for planetary exploration. Liquid metals in fusion reactors can be used in heat exchange, tritium breeder systems and in first wa ...
