The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. 08b: Drone-deployable transmission sensor unit for widespread phasor, power quality, and environmental measurement to increase grid throughput, reliability, and efficiency

    SBC: PITCH AERONAUTICS INC.            Topic: C5608b

    Dynamic Line Ratings (DLRs) can dramatically increase transmission line current capacity, allowing increased renewable energy penetration, decreased line congestion, and prevention of line construction. However, DLR implementation highly depends on unmeasured local line wind, solar irradiation, and line conditions. Today these conditions are only modeled or measured at isolated locations along a s ...

  2. Powder Injection Molding Processes for Manufacture of Fast Reactor Nuclear Fuels

    SBC: J FOSTER & ASSOCIATES LLC            Topic: C5640v

    Current methods of manufacturing sodium fast reactor (SFR) fuels are constrained to small window of manufacturability. Powder forming processes could provide unique material advantages over traditional casting and extrusion techniques; however, fuel materials in powder form are highly reactive with oxygen and represent a pyrophoric hazard. U and Pu alloys and ceramics are easily dispersible in pow ...

  3. Powder Injection Overmolding of High Burnup Light Water Reactor Fuels

    SBC: J FOSTER & ASSOCIATES LLC            Topic: C5640v

    Globally, the majority of nuclear reactors in operation are light water reactor (LWR) designs and are expected to remain a steadfast low-energy carbon sources for the foreseeable. LWR technology would greatly benefit from fuel materials that can withstand increased burnup, however. By creating a fuel with higher burnup capability, fuels can remain in the reactor longer, leading to less refueling o ...

  4. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms for predictive maintenance using NOAA data-sets for renewable energy assets

    SBC: 60Hertz Incorporated            Topic: 92

    This research aims to develop decision support tools for better maintenance and planning of renewable energy generation and storage assets using atmospheric, local weather, and on-ground environmental data blended with site-, regional- and national-generation data. The study will use a combination of these data to understand the relationship between non-cloud cover based atmospheric conditions and ...

  5. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms for predictive maintenance using NOAA data-sets for renewable energy assets

    SBC: 60Hertz Incorporated            Topic: 92

    We propose to use Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) measurements as an early warning system, to cue on-site validation of the soiling station and any available meteorological (MET) station data to validate if a work order to clean deposited particulate matter is necessary. This would move from reactive maintenance – often weeks delayed, to proactive maintenance – getting ahead of the weather impact ...

  6. Software for Multiphysics Analysis and Design of Annular Linear Induction Pumps

    SBC: Maidana, Carlos            Topic: C5436d

    High-temperature nuclear reactors, and irradiation test-capsules, make use of molten metals and their alloys for heat transfer functions from the active zones due to its high degree of thermal conductivity. Pumping of these liquid media by classical mechanical radial or axial pumps is, however, rather difficult and the lifetime of such devices is relatively low. It is known that electromagnetic pu ...

  7. Exploring a Software-Hardware Framework for Computational Storage

    SBC: GEM STATE INFORMATICS INC            Topic: C5107c

    Computational Storage platforms are emerging as a disruptive enhancement in the data processing ecosystem as they have the potential to address the critical bottleneck of limited I/O bandwidth and high latency between storage and compute nodes in the system hierarchy. This “late coming” technology to the Exascale program has the potential to enhance DOE and the broader government’s leadershi ...

  9. Smartphone Water Quality Monitoring Platform for Increasing Public Engagement

    SBC: SYNTRO TEK CORPORATION            Topic: 95

    This Small Business Innovation Research project addresses the development of a new smartphone enabled water quality monitoring data platform supporting NOAA’s mandate to maximize pathways for the public to engage with environmental research and monitoring applications. For example, NOAA has a rich history of Citizen Scientist involvement in the pursuit of the best social, economic and environmen ...

  10. Additive Manufacturing 3100F Nanolaminate Matrix for Turbine Engines

    SBC: ADVANCED CERAMIC FIBERS, L.L.C.            Topic: 19a

    Major manufacturers of stationary gas turbines for electrical power generation are studying the potential for using higher temperature and environmentally stable ceramic matrix composites (CMC) as engine components to improve turbine engine efficiencies. One manufacturer estimates that a simple 2% increase in efficiency would save more than $50MM over the life of one generator. Higher operating te ...
