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. Co-production of Indigoid Dyes and Bioplastics Using Byproducts of Dairy Processing

    SBC: TRANSFOAM LLC            Topic: 5A

    The impact of accelerating human industrial activities on the environment and climate are becoming increasingly clear. Petroleum-derived colorants used in consumer goods are of particular concern due to their toxicity profile, persistence, and tendency to leach into the environment. As more companies make the switch to bio-based/biodegradable plastics, greater access to bio-based dyes will be need ...

  2. Method for Quantifying Fitted Filtration Efficiency of Face Mask and Respirator Products

    SBC: ITA International, LLC            Topic: 7

    Face masks and respirators are frequently deployed in critical protective applications (such as medical and construction environments) where fit testing is not routinely performed before each shift. N95 and related testing protocols effectively assess filtration efficiency for respirators that remain tightly fitted throughout activity, but since these protocols prescribe sealing the tested product ...

  3. Network Resilience to Cascading Failure

    SBC: CRITICALITY SCIENCES INC            Topic: 6

    The 21st century is the Age of the Network. Operators and clients of critical infrastructure networks are now vulnerable to cascading failures that they could not have seen coming. “Cascading” failure events remain a vital unsolved challenge as critical infrastructure network operators and regulators struggle to define and operationalize resilience, and measurement of interdependent network re ...

  4. Network Resilience to Cascading Failure

    SBC: CRITICALITY SCIENCES INC            Topic: 6

    Criticality Sciences, Inc. proposes to test the feasibility of a novel process embodied in NetResilience™ software, for estimating risk (expected loss) and resilience (e.g. recovery time and cost), and proposing mitigation (including during recovery) associated with cascading failure in an infrastructure network. The process will be applied to the interconnected water utility sector with a utili ...

  5. Durable Hydrophobic Membranes with Reduced Fouling for Water Purification Systems

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: 20OSAPE1B

    The safety, security and survivability of mankind are dependent on clean water. Nearly 41% of Earthfs population lives in water]stressed areas, and this will be exacerbated by continuing population growth. To obtain an adequate and sustainable supply of water, it is important to improve already existing methods and develop new and effective technologies for water reuse, reclamation and purific ...

  6. A Synthetic Biology Approach to Recycling Waste Plastic into Biodegradable Plastic

    SBC: TRANSFOAM LLC            Topic: 20OSAPE5B

    Current reliance on petroplastics is unsustainable. Efforts to replace ubiquitous petroplastics polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) with bioplastics is currently hindered by cost. Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) is a biodegradable polymer with properties suited to replace PP and PE. Unlike many bioplastics, PHB does not require industrial composting; rather, PHB degrades into water and trace amount ...

  7. Cleaner Manufacturing Process to Produce Dichroic Films and Particles for Textile Pigments and Dyes

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: 20OSAPE6B

    The objective of this EPA SBIR program is to develop a clean manufacturing process for the fabrication of environmentally-friendly pigment particles and show how the manufactured materials can be used to color a variety of different fabrics and other materials. NanoSonic will work with researchers in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Virginia Tech to develop and demonstrate multi-layer nan ...

  8. Mobile Analytical Platform for Lead Detection in Drinking Water

    SBC: NANOSAFE, INC.            Topic: 16NCER4C

    The drinking water crisis in Flint, Michigan reminds us that lead remains dangerous and insidious toxicant that can impact public health for months or years before it is detected and remedied.Increasing awareness of lead contamination has motivated the general public to test their own drinking water, but few tools are availiable to help these "citizen scientist" do so effectively.Current lead scre ...

  9. High Density Semi-Auto Closed Cycle Cryoprober II

    SBC: MICROXACT INC.            Topic: NA

    High density wafer scale cryogenic probing solution for testing at 4.5K temperatures or below is needed for testing and characterization of devices and circuits employing superconducting electronic components (such as used for quantum processing, high speed classical processing, magnetic field sensors, etc.) as well as for testing of various particle and light detectors for astronomy, aerospace, d ...

  10. Bimetallic Zero Valent Iron Composites for In Situ Remediation

    SBC: AXNANO LLC            Topic: NA

    The EPA estimates that one out of every four Americans lives within three miles of a hazardous waste site. Recent advanced materials developments have driven increased use of In Situ Chemical Reduction (ISCR) remediation in the US and globally. Nanoscale Zero Valent Iron (NZVI) holds great potential for ISCR due to its low cost and high capacity for degrading halogenated compounds. However, two ma ...
