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. UV Solid-State Laser for Proliferation Detection

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: 48

    Compact laser systems are needed to interrogate possible sites of nuclear proliferation that, for strategic or political reasons, cannot be sampled and inspected directly. This laser system would be used with a nonlinear optical wavelength converter for remote spectroscopic analysis of effluents from suspected sites. This project will develop an advanced laser system that will be compact, lightw ...

  2. Eye-Safe, UV BackScatter Lidar for Detection of Sub-Visual Cirrus

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: 09

    Improved measurements and understanding of cirrus clouds is essential for the accurate modeling of climate change and, in particular, for feedback effects that respond (positively or negatively) to greenhouse-gas global warming. Unfortunately, the reliable autonomous detection of sub-visual cirrus clouds is limited by the poor signal-to-noise ratio of existing micropulse lidars. Backscatter lida ...

  3. High Average Power-Green Laser for Synchronous Photoinjection

    SBC: Aculight Corporation            Topic: 48

    A high-quantum-efficiency long-lifetime photocathode is a key component for the synchronous photoinjection of GaAs photoemission guns, used in modern particle accelerators. High-power pulsed-laser sources, with picosecond pulse durations at GHz repetition rates, are needed to provide enough power to enable this application; yet, none are commercially available. This project will develop a highly ...

  4. Hybrid Membrane Distillation Process for Enhanced Integrated Ethanol Production

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 19

    The conversion of corn and other biomass to fuel grade ethanol not only would reduce U.S. dependence on foreign energy sources but also would be a major industrial application for agricultural products. However, the process of drying the ethanol to fuel grade consumes significant amounts of energy, incurring costs that continue to increase as cost of natural gas increases. This project will deve ...

  5. Hybrid Anti-Fouling Membrane System for Natural Gas Separation

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 19

    The need for natural gas continues to grow, and recent increases in petroleum prices have been paralleled by large increases in the price of natural gas. However, natural gas at the source often has high concentrations of carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, which must be removed. Although existing commercial polymeric membranes (e.g. cellulose acetate and polysulfone) do a good job of sweetenin ...

  6. Enhanced Distillation via Membranes for Elimination of Trapped Water

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 21

    Distillation is a major chemical unit operation and consumer of significant energy. Often, water or another intermediate boiling component can become trapped within the distillation column and accumulate. This causes various operating difficulties such as flooding, slugging, cycling, instability, and an off-spec product. This project will develop a chemically resistant, non-porous water-venting ...

  7. Novel Platform for Enhanced Membrane Reactors for Homogeneous Catalysis

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 23

    Catalysis plays a substantial role in the synthesis of the most U.S. commodity chemicals, with huge implications for energy usage. Membrane reactors have been proposed for a number of these syntheses. However, to be competitive with conventional technologies, membrane reactors must demonstrate better selectivity, permeability, and/or stability. This project will develop a novel platform with ke ...

  8. Drying Pipeline Fuel Grade Ethanol

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 33

    The use of ethanol as a fuel would impact U.S. reliance on foreign oil. However, among the economic obstacles to it widespread use are the costs of shipping fuel-grade ethanol by truck. Shipping ethanol by pipeline would be significantly less expensive, but, unfortunately, pipeline ethanol is hydroscopic, which causes too much water to be present in the fuel. This project will develop a simple, ...

  9. Design and Realization of a Dual Function OCM/MPM for Imaging TEMPs

    SBC: DISTANT FOCUS CORP            Topic: N/A

    Regenerative medicine is an emerging, interdisciplinary field that will result in new engineered medical products. The introduction of a high-resolution, non-destructive imaging technique that is capable of penetrating deeply into the highly-scattering scaffold medium has the means to accelerate the development and commercial utilization of these novel materials. Multi-photon microscopy (MPM) is b ...

  10. Membrane Structures for Hydrogen Separation

    SBC: Genesis Fueltech, Inc.            Topic: 33

    Hydrogen can be produced from coal, natural gas, biomass, and biomass derivatives through the use of gasification, pyrolysis, reforming, and shift technologies.  In all of these processes, the initial product is a hydrogen-rich producer gas or syngas, from which the hydrogen must be separated and purified.  This project will will develop a low cost hydrogen-permeable membrane, which produces per ...
