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. Reinforcement Learning with Intelligent Context-based Exploration (RL-ICE)

    SBC: SOAR TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: SCO182006

    This effort will extend the RL-ICE capability for low-shot object detection to operate with zero real data within the MWIR band (zero-shot learning). Our goal is to 1.) mature our software, 2.) maximize the performance benefit of synthetic data in training an object detector and, 3.) assess the trade-space of real vs synthetic data by comparing performance to a detector trained on fully real data. ...

  2. Aspect Ratio Trapping Grown SiGeSn Lasers for CMOS Monolithic Integration

    SBC: ARKTONICS LLC            Topic: OSD22B003

    In this project, Arktonics proposes to develop monolithically integrated high-performance (Si)GeSn lasers by using the novel aspect ratio trapping (ART) growth technology. The proposed transformative laser architecture is expected to fundamentally address the long-standing challenges of the missing high-performance light emitter to complete the whole suite of Si-photonics to enable many new applic ...

  4. Development and evaluation of peroxide free fin-fish nursery feeds with active DHA-synthase enzyme (DSe)

    SBC: FPN LLC            Topic: 93

    The marine microalgae Chrypthecodinium conhii (C. cohnii) contains high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and DHA synthase enzymes (DSe). Finfish have shown de novo synthesis of DHA when fed a C. cohnii product, KoniSap™, developed by FPN LLC. KoniSap™ is unique to the aqua-feed market as it is produced under low temperature and inert gas to prevent lipid oxidation and avoid enzyme denatura ...

  5. Sustainable seed production for North Atlantic kelp aquaculture

    SBC: Ocean's Balance Inc            Topic: 93

    Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, domestic production from both wild harvests and aquaculture operations only supplies 1% of this demand. To meet demand, expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Currently, U.S. kelp aquaculture methods rely on wild ha ...

  6. QUINN (Quantum INspired Neural Networks)

    SBC: SOAR TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: SCO183001

    QUINN (Quantum INspired Neural Networks) is a cybersecurity implementation to be deployed alongside a machine learning system (especially a reinforcement learning, active learning, and computer vision system) to harden said system from both standard generative adversarial attacks (noise injection) and cyber-physical attacks. This protection is provided by three unique components that perform attac ...

  7. Battery Logistics Integrated Safety System (BLISS)

    SBC: ENERGY STORAGE SAFETY PRODUCTS INTERNATIONAL LLC            Topic: 21PH1

    ESSPI will continue development of a Battery Logistics Integrated Safety System (BLISS). BLISS is a unique solution to lithium-ion battery transport and storage safety challenges such as fire and explosion. BLISS dramatically improves safety during battery logistics, aligns with current logistics processes (non-disruptive), and provides a cost-effective battery packaging system that meets current ...

  8. Development and evaluation of peroxide free fin-fish nursery feeds with active DHA-synthase enzyme (DSe)

    SBC: FPN LLC            Topic: 93

    The marine microalgae Crypthecodinium cohnii (C. cohnii) contains high levels of DHA and DHA synthase enzyme (DSe) both of which may provide nutritional benefits to finfish for human consumption. Field Phyto-Nutrients LLC has developed a process for algae-based feed preparation where the algae is dried under low temperature (

  9. Sustainable seed production for North Atlantic kelp aquaculture

    SBC: Ocean's Balance Inc            Topic: 93

    Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, only 1% is met with domestic production. Expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Current kelp aquaculture methods rely on harvested reproductive tissue, which is not sustainable. In response to NOAA Topic 9.3, Health ...

  10. Measuring Stormwater Overflow with Synthetic Aperture Radar

    SBC: WOLVERINE RADAR COMPANY            Topic: 93

    Many municipalities in the United States have begun to use impermeability measurements to incentivize storm water retention as part of the architectural and landscaping design process. These measurements are performed through analysis of high-resolution aerial photography and updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. The practice of using high resolution aerial or even satellite photography is pr ...
