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. Dechlorination of Mixed-Plastics Feedstock with Low Temperature Pyrolysis for Downstream Gasification and Hydrogen Production

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: C5626d

    Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a huge untapped renewable feedstock resource to produce hydrogen through gasification. Currently, the utilization MSW for hydrogen production is not realized due to the presence of chlorine that causes degradation of gasifier components and formation of pollutants during gasification. This proposed technology has the potential to remove chlorine and produce a consist ...

  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. Optimization of Coal Waste/Biomass Gasification for Hydrogen Production

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: C5421f

    Decades of coal use in the United States has resulted in large amounts of waste coal materials produced from coal preparation plants. Currently, these coal wastes are stored in piles and ponds, and many are causing environmental problems such as acid mine drainage. Technologies must be developed that can utilize these coal waste materials. Gasification of coal waste combined with biomass has the p ...

  5. Development of Sorting Algorithm for Critical Mineral-rich Coal Resource Feedstocks for Use in Full-Stream Analyzers

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: 24d

    This Small Business Innovation Research project addresses the issue of high variability of critical minerals (CM) that includes rare earth elements (REE) in coal feedstocks. The proposed project is aimed at developing a technology to sort coals based on REE-CM concentration. Sorting the high CM from low CM-containing feedstocks is essential to the economic viability of a commercial CM concentrate ...

  6. Integration of Coal-fired Power Plants Fireside Optimization Tools with the IDAES Platform.

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: 25b

    This Small Business Innovative Research project targets the development of a computer-based tool (model) for use by coal-fired power plants to predict heat transfer losses in the water wall and convective pass sections of the boiler. The proposed tool combines Microbeam’s mechanistic ash generation and deposition models (AGM) for use in the Institute for the Design of Advanced Energy Systems (ID ...

  7. 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) ...

  8. Spouted Fluid Beds for Mercury Removal from Coal

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: 18a

    This Small Business Innovation Research project targets the development of mitigation strategies to decrease mercury and other potential hazardous elements in coal prior to combustion or gasification. The Microbeam team including the University of North Dakota and Envergex, LLC is developing a method of coal beneficiation that not only removes mercury, sulfur and other hazardous trace elements, bu ...

  9. Cost Effective, Fault Tolerant Nuclear Fuel Monitoring System with Radiation Hardened SRAM Neutron Detector

    SBC: Packet Digital LLC            Topic: 30

    There are imminent needs for improvements and advancements in the research and development of new sensor materials and measurements techniques for nuclear material control and accountability. Nuclear storage facilities for used fuel and electrochemical recycling facilities need more robust safeguards and security than ever. In addition, fuel monitoring must be done in a cost effective manner. How ...

  10. Production Methods and Software for NIST Calibration Phantoms

    SBC: SIGMA K CORP            Topic: N/A

    Magnetic Resonance Imaging data needs to be calibrated using a universal standard. NIST and the ISMRM SQRM committee have developed the NIST/NIST MR phantom. The group had two phantoms manufactured to their specifications and these phantoms have been imaged at numerous imaging facilities. Sigma-K now proposes to develop a complete manufacturing method that will produce 50 MRI phantoms. These phant ...
