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. Broad Spectrum Absorption-Fluorescence Method for Determining Adsorption Capacity of Fly Ash

    SBC: PHOSPHORTECH CORP            Topic: 171FH1

    Interference of unburned and activated carbon in fly ash with air-entraining admixtures (AEA’s) in fresh concrete mixtures is a major concern in the concrete industry. Therefore, a rapid and accurate measurement of adsorption capacity of fly ash is of great interest to this industry. In this project, a new method is suggested, which can qualitatively and quantitatively measure different surfact ...

  2. Resilient Wayside Structures and Passenger Car Survivability

    SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC            Topic: 171FR3

    Additional passenger fatalities and injuries can occur during derailments due to interaction with wayside structures, such as catenary poles, bridge abutments, and discontinuities in third rails at highway grade crossings. Resilient wayside structures can reduce these risks, by lessening the amount of intrusion, penetration, and passenger motion. PEC and Arup will work together to develop resilien ...

  3. Development of Innovative Welding for High Performance Bridge Steel

    SBC: KAI, LLC            Topic: 132FH1

    With this research, we would like to provide new materials joining methods to the DOT. This will be achieved with a pulse energy store that has already demonstrated game changing capability in welding a wide variety of metals and alloys. The process we are proposing is known as Homopolar Welding. The weld is created by a solid state fusion welding process whereby high current is passed through the ...

  4. Improved Decision Support Tools for State of Good Repair

    SBC: TWILIGHT TRAINING, L.L.C.            Topic: 131FT2

    Every asset ages. Pipes, roads, computers, cars, etc. This fact is inevitable. And, as a result of the aging process, every asset suffers a degradation in its intended capability or performance over time. Yet every day, millions of people in the U.S. get up in the morning expecting that they will be able to travel to work, drink clean water, use the Internet, and so on. It usually takes a catastro ...

  10. COLLISION AVOIDANCE TECHNIQUE USED BY THE MAJOR RAILROADS OF THE US STILL RELY ON THE ALERTNESS OF THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER TO SEE AND RESPOND TO WARNING SIGNALS DISPLAYED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.

    SBC: Expert Systems Engineers            Topic: N/A

    COLLISION AVOIDANCE TECHNIQUE USED BY THE MAJOR RAILROADS OF THE US STILL RELY ON THE ALERTNESS OF THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER TO SEE AND RESPOND TO WARNING SIGNALS DISPLAYED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND ALONG THE RIGHT-OF-WAY. SO LONG AS THE ENGINEER REMAINS ALERT, THE SYSTEM WORKS WELL, BUT WHEN THE ENGINEER IS NOT QUICK TO PERCEIVE AND REACT TO DANDER SIGNALS, THE SYSTEM FAILS. MAINTAINING ENGINEE ...
