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. Artificial Intelligence Enabled Screening for Limited Mobility Passengers using Advanced Imaging Technologies

    SBC: Analytical AI, LLC            Topic: DHS221006

    The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) operates security screening for all air passengers of outgoing aircraft. The Air Carrier Access Act of 1986 (ACAA) ensured access to air travel for passengers with disabilities, including mandating equal or similar treatment in the screening process. This ACAA requirement comports with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) which prohibits discri ...

  4. Engineered Enzymes for Polyurethane Recycling

    SBC: Birch Biosciences, LLC            Topic: C5331a

    C53-31a-271169Significant technical innovations are needed to improve the economics of plastic recycling. Plastic recycling rates in the United States have been stagnant for more than a decade: less than 10% of plastics are currently recycled, and only 5.5% of polyurethane plastics are recycled. Plastics have become a major contributor to global warming, as emissions from global plastics productio ...

  5. Advanced Machine Learning for Explosives Detection

    SBC: STREAMLINE AUTOMATION LLC            Topic: DHS231004

    Transportation Safety Officers (TSOs) currently use a multi-step decision tree to screen and resolve an alarm of a suspicious object in crowded and high-throughput environments, such as aviation and security checkpoints. In high-throughput environments, this can lead to information overload and mental fatigue. Homeland Security desires a more capable integrated Alarm Resolution (AR) sensor suite, ...

  10. Off-Grid Micro Hydropower Units for Agricultural Decarbonization

    SBC: CONTINUOUS SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: C5610a

    The agricultural sector must adopt available technological advances to decrease its significant contributions to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Its high levels of energy and water consumption are two of the main sources of inefficiencies. At the same time, many rural communities lack access to reliable electricity, specifically under-utilizing clean energy sources. An opportunity exi ...
