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. Selective Electrochemical Recovery of Rare Earth Elements from Ore

    SBC: WYONICS LLC            Topic: C5604a

    1. Problem StatementCurrent industrial-scale rare earth element separation technologies are based on solvent extraction schemes which produce large amounts of undesirable chemical waste, including the loss of volatile organic solvents and reagents employed in the treatment of feed streams. These concerns have severely limited the development of U.S.-based rare earth element separation facilities. ...

  2. A Robotic Inspection and Assembly Workcell for SRF Cavities

    SBC: Square One Systems Design, Inc.            Topic: C5430b

    The production of high-Q superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities involves a complex chain of fabrication and inspection operations. Currently, much of this demanding work is performed manually within the tightly controlled environment of a production cleanroom. However, as the design precision and cleanliness requirements of modern SRF cavities have increased, this “human factor” has em ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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. An Instrumental Platform for Identifying, Collecting, and Analyzing Particles with Micron and Submicron Dimensions

    SBC: WYONICS LLC            Topic: C5206c

    1. Problem Statement Many technological fields would benefit greatly from an instrumental platform capable manipulating particles with µm- to nm-scale dimensions in a non-destructive, non-contaminating manner. A prime example is the field of nuclear forensics, where the elemental/isotopic analysis of individual µm-scale particles of actinide-containing materials is critical to ongoing nuclear no ...

  7. An Instrumental Platform for Identifying, Collecting, and Analyzing Particles with Micron and Submicron Dimensions

    SBC: WYONICS LLC            Topic: 06c

    As microanalytical techniques advance and modern technologies continue to miniaturize, there exists a growing need for particle manipulation instrumentation with greater resolution and specific selectivity on a small micrometer (μm) to nanometer (nm) scale. The need for an instrumental platform which can spatially resolve μm-sized particles is apparent in microanalytical fields, such as nuclear ...

  8. CREATES: CO2 REduction for grAphiTE Synthesis

    SBC: ACADIAN RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT LLC            Topic: 22b

    With its steadily increasing usage in electronics and batteries, graphite is an important material— and one that has no natural mining production in the United States. Graphite demand has been increasing with adoption of technologies such as lithium-ion batteries, which contain 10 to 30 times more graphite than lithium. A synthetic route for graphite production utilizing CO2 can help break Ameri ...

  9. Next-Generation Modified Metal Organic Frameworks for CO2 Capture

    SBC: ACADIAN RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT LLC            Topic: 20a

    Alternative energy sources are becoming more readily available, but fossil fuel power will continue to provide a significant portion of electricity for the Nation for the foreseeable future. There is, however, growing concern over the CO2 emissions resulting from fossil fuel utilization. In 2017, the U.S. alone released approximately 5.7 billion metric tons of CO2. Capture of CO2 is of concern to ...

  10. 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) ...
