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. Integrated Characterization and Modeling of Subsurface Properties Critical to Geothermal Energy Storage in Sedimentary Reservoirs

    SBC: NEW ENGLAND RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: C5513a

    C55-13a-270397To date, no integrated characterization and predictive modeling workflow has been proposed to optimize Geothermal Battery Energy Storage (GBES) systems in sedimentary formations. Of particular concern is the near wellbore formation integrity of GBES systems that are subject to Thermal-Hydraulic-Mechanical-Chemical (THMC) loading conditions: during injection, storage, and production c ...

  2. A Cost-Effective 3D Wildlife Tracking System

    SBC: WILDLIFE IMAGING SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: C5617a

    There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring across the entire the U.S. and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning U.S. offshore wind industry is also contendin ...

  3. Increasing Water Use Efficiency by Addressing Sensor Cost Barriers Using Novel Technology

    SBC: TRANSCEND ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, LLC            Topic: 96

    The project objective is to greatly reduce the cost of monitoring soil water content in highly-resolved vertical profile to promote increased adoption of more efficient water management tools. Cost is the most significant barrier to adoption of sophisticated data-driven irrigation management in permanent agriculture. Highly-resolved vertical soil water profiles are needed to learn soil-specific hy ...

  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. A Cost-Effective Wildlife Activity and Mortality Detection System

    SBC: WILDLIFE IMAGING SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: C5219a

    There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring in the US Midwest, MidAtlantic and Northeast, and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning US offshore wind industry ...

  7. Soil Moisture Flux Sensor using Machine Intelligence

    SBC: TRANSCEND ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, LLC            Topic: 26a

    We are developing a machine intelligence (MI) that will infer vertical soil water flux from changes in vertical moisture distribution measured using available moisture sensors. This innovation addresses a serious information deficit that limits water management and conservation efforts, and will have immediate societal impact in high value agricultural regions such as California’s Central Valley ...

  8. A cost-effective wildlife activity and mortality detection system for utility scale wind turbines

    SBC: WILDLIFE IMAGING SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: 19a

    There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring in the US Midwest, MidAtlantic and Northeast, and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats.

  9. Progressive Automation of Minirhizotron Image Processing through Advanced Contextualization and Machine Learning

    SBC: TRANSCEND ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, LLC            Topic: 26b

    Minirhizotron image collection has benefited from technological advances in camera design and operation, bulk data storage, and remote camera control enabling high-volume image collection. The technology used in processing these minirhizotron images into useful data metrics has not progressed at the same pace. Individual images are often manually interpreted, and researchers are accumulating image ...

  10. Soil Moisture Flux Sensor using Machine Intelligence

    SBC: TRANSCEND ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, LLC            Topic: 26a

    Our proposal addresses the need expressed in subtopic 26.a to measure vertically resolved soil moisture distributions. While soil moisture content is a key state variable in subsurface hydrobiogeochemical processes, spatially resolved soil moisture flux is an equally important process variable. We propose to develop an intelligent sensor that will use machine learning to infer vertically resolved ...
