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. DEVELOPMENT OF A SMALL ELECTROMAGNETIC PUMP FOR MOLTEN SALT REACTORS

    SBC: Maidana, Carlos            Topic: 33g

    High-temperature nuclear reactors make use of molten metals and their alloys or molten salts 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 pumps have several ...

  2. Low-Illumination Level UTC Photodetectors for QIS Applications

    SBC: PHASE SENSITIVE INNOVATIONS INC            Topic: 32d

    High quantum efficiency photodetectors are a critical component of quantum squeezed state systems. Providing optical-to-microwave transduction fidelity allows these systems to significantly improve upon the noise performance of traditionally shot noise limited photonic links and sensors. However, as quantum information science is still a small, but rapidly growing field, there is a distinct lack o ...

  3. Data-Driven Integration of High Fidelity Fluid Dynamics into Systems Codes for Design and Safety Applications

    SBC: ILLINOISROCSTAR LLC            Topic: 33d

    Computational fluid dynamics methods have found increasing use in high fidelity modeling of complex systems, particularly within nuclear power systems. For example, the phenomenon of thermal stratification in a sodium-cooled fast reactor under natural circulation conditions is resolvable with computational fluid dynamics, but not traditional system-level models. The high accuracy of computational ...

  4. Topic 13d: Combustion Geometry Optimization to Increase Alcohol-Fueled MCCI Efficiency

    SBC: ClearFlame Engines, Inc.            Topic: 13d

    Diesel engines are critical to modern economies—moving 70% of the nation’s goods—but they remain coupled to the need for petroleum-based Diesel fuel, which presents challenges. Diesel fuel prices are volatile (creating uncertainty about the fuel’s long-term economics), while the need for oil drives demand for imports. Emissions are challenging as well, as heavy-duty Diesel engines generate ...

  5. Hydrokinetic Baseload Microgrids

    SBC: OCEAN RENEWABLE POWER CO INC            Topic: 14a

    There is a worldwide, nearly insatiable demand for renewable energy and a dramatic shift away from central power grids to smaller, more secure, robust and reliable grids powered by renewable energy. ORPC estimates the total addressable global market for marine hydrokinetics is 433 gigawatts (GW), and ORPC has taken a leadership position in the early adopter, high cost islanded community market in ...

  6. Low Cost Resin Technology for the Rapid Manufacture of High-Performance Fiber Reinforced Composites

    SBC: TRIMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 13f

    According to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Vehicle Technologies Office, a 10% reduction in vehicle weight can result in a 6% to 8% fuel-economy improvement. Replacing cast iron and traditional steel components with lightweight polymer composites can directly reduce the weight of a vehicle’s body and chassis by up to 50% and therefore reduce fuel consumption. Lightweighting of vehicle structu ...

  7. In-Situ SRF Cavity Coating And Cleaning For Defect-Free Conformal Niobium Films

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: 29c

    Superconducting materials are essential for particle accelerators to support high-energy physics research. New manufacturing processing techniques are needed to enable next generation niobium- based SRF cavities that reduce cost, improve quality factor, increase accelerating gradient, and provide in-situ cleaning to mitigate field emission. The high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) tech ...

  8. Ceramic ATF Cladding Using Reactive HiPIMS Sputtering With Positive Kick For Thick, Corrosion Resistant, High-Temperature Multilayer Films

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: 33b

    Scalable manufacturing techniques are needed for high-quality coatings on nuclear fuel to provide: (1) enhanced safety during design basis and beyond design basis (>1200°C) accident conditions, (2) provide better performance to enable higher linear heat (>7kW/ft, >20% uprate) generation during baseline operation to enable more energy production from existing nuclear plants, (3) enable higher fuel ...

  9. Low-Cost, Durable Organic Batteries for Dispatchable Solar Applications

    SBC: Jolt Energy Storage Technologies, LLC            Topic: 12c

    The declining cost of solar technology for electricity generation has led to a dramatic increase in its deployment. However, the intermittent nature of solar photovoltaic generation presents a significant challenge for grid operators, and it is widely recognized that co-located, inexpensive and reliable energy storage is required to promote the stability and operational flexibility of the grid. Id ...

  10. Feasibility Study on an Aluminum Brake Systems for OEM Applications

    SBC: LITEBRAKE TECH LLC            Topic: 13e

    Public awareness of energy saving and environmental concerns raises the demand for better fuel efficiency and weight reduction of vehicles. Weight reduction must also be cost effective for consumers, meet or exceed current and planned safety requirements, meet consumer expectations for vehicle performance and durability. The current brake systems consisting of rotors and calipers made of cast iron ...
