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 ...

  2. A Semantic Search and Predictive Analytical Framework for Improved Air Cargo Screening

    SBC: Cignal LLC            Topic: DHS231002

    The ability to navigate complex, dense X-ray images with occluded objects and superposition of potential threats presents a significant challenge for air cargo screeners.Explosive detection and threat interdiction is also challenging due to the varied ways threat actors conceal and disguise illicit activity.These factors work to reduce screening efficiency and throughput, as skids must be broken d ...

  3. 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, ...

  4. ACIS: A Machine Learning Platform for Chemical Signature and Toxicity Prediction

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: DHS231007

    The rapid detection of highly toxic compounds, such as chemical warfare agents, toxic industrial compounds, pharmaceutical-based agents, and non-traditional agents, is paramount to industrial and national security. While multiple chemical detection platforms exist, the ability to detect toxic compounds is fundamentally limited by the available reference database of known chemical signatures. Recen ...

  5. Affordable Wastewater Disposal for Coastal Households Adapting to Sea Level Rise

    SBC: WAIHOME LLC            Topic: 92

    "Rising sea levels and king tide flooding in coastal areas across America are saturating onsite wastewater disposal systems (OSDS), resulting in the degradation of coastal ecosystems and 200,000+ illnesses annually. Many States are mandating system upgrades, with 88,000 upgrades required by 2050 in Hawaii alone. Unfortunately, existing upgrade options are unaffordable for 97% of Hawaiian homeowner ...

  6. Active Material Technology to Improve Solar Sail Performance for Space Weather Monitoring

    SBC: NEXOLVE HOLDING CO LLC            Topic: 96

    Development of a reflection control and direction device (RCDD) is proposed. This innovative device will progress the state of the art for propulsion of solar sails used to fly space weather monitoring sensors to sub-LaGrange point orbits for earlier warning times of impending destructive space weather events. A reflection control device (RCD) utilizes polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mater ...

  7. Carbon-Negative Oceanit Reef for Aquatic Life (CORAL) Surveying via Hyperspectral Imaging-Equipped Littoral Drones (SHIELD)

    SBC: OCEANIT LABORATORIES INC            Topic: 93

    Oceanit proposes the design, construction, and testing of a hyperspectral imaging equipped Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) for the detection of various coral species and the monitoring of coral health. This system will be the prototype for the sensor part of a robust, COTS-based UAS system to aid the NOAA National Coral Reef Monitoring Program. Different coral families and species will be identified ...

  8. Developing the Drought Risk Overview Product (DROP): Improving Flash Drought Forecasts and Early Warning Using Machine Learning and Extreme Value Theory Techniques

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: 91

    Drought is responsible for $327.7B in economic loss since 1980 in the United States and typically precedes, cooccurs, or initiates other hazards like wildfires or prolonged periods of intense heat. The compounding or cascading of these hazards routinely threatens the wellbeing and stability of communities. The economic impact from drought can be especially harsh when the drought begins rapidly in ...
