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. Applications of AI to ensemble forecasts of compound extreme weather events in support of operational adaptation of electric utilities

    SBC: CLIMATE FORECAST APPLICATIONS NETWORK, LLC            Topic: 91

    We propose a high-impact innovation for weather forecasting that integrates global ensemble weather forecasts with an AI-driven post-processing model of extreme weather indices. This innovation will provide the basis for skillful probabilistic forecasts of compound extreme weather events at extended lead times. Extreme weather/climate events of relevance to electric utilities focused on in Phase I ...

  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. COLD SPRAY COATED METAL MATRIX NANO-COMPOSITE SURFACE LAYERS ON INCONEL 617

    SBC: GENNEXT MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 23a

    Molten salt reactors (MSRs) operate under the extreme environments of high temperatures ≥ 800 °C, corrosive salts (molten chloride or fluoride), and neutron irradiation. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code permitted alloys, though exhibit excellent creep properties well above 800 ºC, cannot be considered as structural materials for MSRs, because they are susceptible to preferential corrosion ...

  5. Multi-functional surface coatings resistant to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking, nuclear radiation, wear and thermal cycling

    SBC: GENNEXT MATERIALS & TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 40b

    Chloride induced stress corrosion cracking in dry storage canister welds for spent nuclear fuel is identified as a potential safety concern. These materials are also subjected to radiation and wear. Multi-functional surface coatings could be a solution to mitigate these problems. The surface coatings on dry storage canister weld substrates resistant concurrently to pitting, CISCC, nuclear radiatio ...

  6. SOFTOX FOR STRANDED GAS UTILIZATION

    SBC: Modular Chemical, Inc.            Topic: 22a

    Many of today’s oil producers are forced to flare associated natural gas or shut-in wells because they cannot economically bring the gas to market. Natural gas flaring and venting exposes produc- ers to environmental liabilities, reduces potential revenues, and depreciates assets. Initially, this project will focus on a particularly acute problem for many producers—the co-production (with oil) ...

  7. Nanomembrane Interactive Forward Osmosis (FO) Polymers for Desalination and Remediation

    SBC: COVALENT LLC            Topic: 15a

    With the expanding use of desalination and wastewater remediation to meet the nation’s fundamental water requirements, the critical economic and environmental needs for reducing energy requirements and enhancing operational functionality can be addressed by a supported one-atomic-layer-thick membrane that incorporates the chemical structures to avoid fouling and scaling. The development of novel ...

  8. High Yield, Atomically Precise Chemical Activation

    SBC: COVALENT LLC            Topic: 07a

    Nature is the master manufacturer. We propose to mimic the way the ribosome builds biomolecules in order to make complex molecular building blocks that will, in their first use as a product, function as very complex pores in our water purification and desalination nanomembrane system. These pores will be focused on removing extremely challenging contaminants and toxins. With the expanding use of d ...

  9. Broad Spectrum Electromagnetic Sensing Using Passive and Active Fraction Injection Transient Responses and the Feasibility of Uniquely Separating Fracture and Proppant Distributions

    SBC: Multi Phase Technologies LLC            Topic: 18b

    Tracking both the extent of the induced fracture and the distribution of the proppant within the fracture are critical in understanding and optimizing the hydraulic fracture processes. Several groups are studying the use of electromagnetic methods and electrically conductive proppants to image the post-fracture proppant distribution. Interpreting these large-scale electromagnetic surveys will like ...

  10. A Field Deployable Electrochemical Sensor to Nondestructively Evaluate De-alloying in Gray Cast Iron

    SBC: MFS Technovation Corp.            Topic: 29e

    Gray cast iron piping is the most common pipe material in North America. Based on the high carbon content, graphitic needles or flakes are a common feature in these alloys. As a result, these areas of super-saturated carbon will consistently establish galvanic attack of the adjacent iron matrix, especially when in the presence of most ionic liquids. The localized galvanic potentials create microsc ...
