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. Inert-Gas Buffering for Particle Size Separation of Superconductor Precursor Powders

    SBC: Accelerator Technology Corporation            Topic: 35

    The removal of all particles over a desired micron-scale size threshold from a powder sample is critical to the development of fine-filament, powder-in-tube superconducting wires, for which the final filament size is limited by the largest particles in the precursor powder filling. This project will develop a particle-removal technology that disperses the powder in an aerosol suspension and then ...

  2. Accelerated Biomethanation of Sequestered Carbon Dioxide and Paraffin in Coal Beds

    SBC: Altuda Energy Corporation            Topic: 16

    The objectives of this research are to enhance and accelerate the in situ bioconversion of sequestered carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into methane in the presence of hydrogen-rich coal macerals and paraffin. Methanogens require a source of hydrogen and an electron acceptor such as carbon dioxide in order to generate methane. The abundance of hydrogen coupled with sequestered carbon dioxide in ...

  3. Gas Phase Catalytic Oxidation of Cyclohexane to Cyclohexanone and Cyclohexanol

    SBC: Evernu Technology, Llc            Topic: 30

    In the U.S., the annual production of 4.6 billion pounds of nylon starts with the liquid-phase oxidation of 3.5 billion pounds of cyclohexane to KA-oil (a mixture of cyclohexanone and cyclohexanol) and the subsequent oxidation of the latter to adipic acid with HNO3. The liquid-phase cyclohexane process, which operates at only 4-10% cyclohexane conversion, is the ¿least efficient¿ industrial pro ...

  4. Nanowire Optical Assay Probe

    SBC: Illuminex Corporation            Topic: 04

    More sensitive detection methods leading to early diagnosis could significantly impact the treatment of cancer and other diseases and dramatically increase survival rates. However, current methods used to detect disease indicators do not have the needed sensitivity and often are effective only once the indicator concentration has reached a critical level. Nanotechnology-enabled probes, which can ...

  5. Boron Nitride Capacitors for Advanced Power Electronic Devices

    SBC: Integrated Micro Sensors, Inc.            Topic: 29

    Silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN) are being used to break barriers with respect to the design and fabrication of high-temperature high-power transistors, but capacitors remain the weak link in achieving higher temperature electronics. In particular, the use of SiC should allow future power devices to operate safely at temperatures up to 400°C, but at these temperatures, the capacit ...

  6. Nanostructured Coatings by Pulsed Plasma Processing for Alloys used in Coal-Fired Environments

    SBC: KARTA TECHNOLOGIES            Topic: 15

    The efficient and profitable operation of coal-fired power plants requires higher steam temperatures and pressures, necessitating the use of advanced alloys. A major concern in using these advanced materials is their poor corrosion and oxidation resistance in fossil energy environments. Therefore, protective coatings on the ferritic and austenitic steels used in these coal-fired environments are ...

  7. Enhanced Catalysts from Nanostructured Materials

    SBC: LYNNTECH INC.            Topic: 20

    One of the most significant impediments to making the hydrogen economy a reality is the prohibitively high cost of fuel cell catalysts. In order to reduce these costs, a catalyst must be developed with lower precious metal content, using a streamlined production method that does not sacrifice fuel cell performance. This project will develop a plasma-based synthesis method that produces a nano-sc ...

  8. Dehydration of Acids and Harsh Chemicals Via Pervaporation/Vapor Permeation Using Inorganic Membranes

    SBC: Media and Process Technology Inc.            Topic: 19

    Pervaporation (PV) and vapor permeation (VP) membranes have been touted as highly effective for a wide array of liquid and vapor separations, particularly for dehydration of aggressive chemicals; yet, they have been limited to a relatively small number of niche applications. The barriers to further penetration include cost, reliability, and performance stability. This project will develop molecu ...

  9. Hydrogen Recovery Via Nanoporous Carbon Membrane for Large Scale Refinery Application

    SBC: Media and Process Technology Inc.            Topic: 19

    Hydrogen recovery from refinery off-gas offers a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to meet the projected growth in hydrogen demand in refineries. Although a unique membrane-based process was demonstrated to be technically feasible in the past, several product- and process-related barriers have prevented its field implementation. This project will develop a nanoporous carbon ...

  10. An Ultra-Precise System for Electrical Resistivity Tomography Measurements

    SBC: Multi Phase Technologies LLC            Topic: 06

    One of the most widely used geophysical methods for monitoring flow within the shallow subsurface is Electrical Resistivity Tomography (ERT). The latest generation of ERT systems can monitor data to a precision of around 1%, allowing in situ changes to be interpreted within a few percent. In turn, subsurface temperature changes can be monitored to within a few degrees Centigrade, low levels of t ...
