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. Fast and precise electrostatic beam position control for an atomic-resolution STEM

    SBC: Nion Co            Topic: C5510b

    C55-10b-270389Recent developments in electron microscopes, especially improved optics and new detectors have led to new types of experiments in the fields of physics, quantum information, and biology. With all the recent progress, one key system of the microscope, the scanning system, has fallen behind. The proposed development will introduce a fundamentally new type of scanning system that replac ...

  3. Switched-Field Surface NMR for Enhanced Detection and Resolution of Shallow Groundwater

    SBC: VISTA CLARA INC.            Topic: C4724c

    C47-24c-271412This proposal addresses the challenge of non-invasively, economically, and accurately detect and imaging groundwater and hydrogeological properties in the top 30m of the subsurface. We will apply imaging methodologies at the core of medical MRI to efficiently map shallow groundwater and hydrogeologic properties at improved resolution. Conventional surface NMR has been proven as a pow ...

  5. FeaturePrint: Irrefutable Nuclear Supply Chain Security

    SBC: ALITHEON INC            Topic: C5640e

    C56-40e-272710 No matter how they enter a system, counterfeit parts are a significant threat to the National Reactor Innovation Center and the broader Department of Energy. According to the Office of the Inspector General report Special Inquiry Into Counterfeit, Fraudulent, and Suspect Items in Operating Nuclear Power Plants, “Department of Energy staff identified more than 100 incidents involvi ...

  6. FeaturePrint: Computer Vision for Pebble Bed Reactors' Material, Control, and Accounting

    SBC: ALITHEON INC            Topic: C5640n

    C56-40n-272712The limiting factor in previous imaging approaches to material, control, and accounting of pebbles going through pebble bed reactors was the ability to reliably identify hundreds of thousands of unique pebbles in a short time. Moreover, the secondary approach of identifying types of pebbles does support fresh fuel loading by distinguishing fuel pebbles from moderator pebbles, but sti ...

  7. Dual functional reactor for direct air capture of carbon dioxide and production of oxygenated hydrocarbons in one pot

    SBC: MOLECULE WORKS INCORPORATED            Topic: C5625b

    There are a few major challenges associated with direct air capture (DAC) of carbon dioxide, including 1) lowering capture costs and 2) disposal or usage of the captured carbon dioxide. On the other hand, converting carbon dioxide with renewable electricity into useful products and/or fuels has been hindered by the problems of 1) high costs and 2) availability of carbon dioxide. A new technology - ...

  8. A resilient PV solar plant with enhanced grid reliability services and integrated multi-MW EV-charging infrastructure for 2x faster and 50% lower cost implementation

    SBC: StoredgeAI LLC            Topic: C5615f

    We propose a fundamentally new balance of plant (BOP) architecture for a PV solar system integrated with battery storage and heavy-duty EV fleet charging infrastructure. These PV solar systems are 1- 10s of MW in size, with a 2 to 4-hour battery and several MWs of EV charging electronics. Usually known as microgrids, these integrated PV systems connect to the bulk power systems, providing resilien ...

  9. Cost Effective Real-Time Flare Gas Characterization for Optimizing Methane Destruction Efficiency

    SBC: NARION CORPORATION            Topic: C5627a

    The oil and gas industry relies on flaring to reduce the venting of methane into our atmosphere. Currently, without a cost-effective method to capture and utilize these gases, flaring is the most environmentally friendly method for abating greenhouse gasses. When operated properly, flares are assumed to be 98% efficient at burning methane. Recent studies have shown that in reality, flaring operati ...

  10. Project Title: Advanced Polymeric Geomembrane Designs for Pumped Storage Hydropower Reservoirs

    SBC: RIVER CONNECTIVITY SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: C5614b

    Pumped storage hydropower (PSH) stands alone as the only commercially proven technology available for grid-scale and long-duration energy storage. It is a versatile and cost-effective solution for energy storage that supports the integration of renewable energy sources, improves grid stability, and reduces greenhouse gas emissions. At PSH reservoirs, water is pumped and released to store and produ ...
