The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY24 is not expected to be complete until March, 2025.

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. SiGe Semiconductor Devices for High-Performance Cryogenic Power Electronics

    SBC: GPD Optoelectronics Corporation            Topic: S407

    We propose to continue development of power semiconductor devices (diodes and transistors) for power-management and actuator-control circuits operating at cryogenic temperatures. Cryogenic power electronics can provide important benefits both for space and commercial applications: higher efficiency, reduced size, weight and complexity, and improved system reliability. Of primary importance to spac ...

  2. Rapid Thermal Annealing System with Controlled Temperature Gradient and Annealing Time

    SBC: GT Equipment Technologies, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) has been widely used in microelectronics fabrications. The current RTA system only provides uniform temperature distribution across the whole annealing chamber at any given time. Therefore, it greatly limits the implementation of combinatorial methodology in one single trial. This SBIR Phase 1 proposal investigates the feasibility of developing a temperature-time grad ...

  3. Void Fraction Sensor for Packed-Bed Reactors in Microgravity

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: B101

    The innovative product from this project is an instrument to measure void fraction in packed-bed reactors using an impedance-based approach. As NASA pursues long-duration crewed missions, it will be necessary to adapt packed-bed chemical processing methods to reduced gravity to minimize the mass and volume of consumables hauled from earth. To develop design tools, accurate measurement of void frac ...

  4. Spaceflight Urine Analysis System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: B303

    Exposure to microgravity results in a number of physiological changes including loss of bone and increased risk of kidney stone formation. Long duration spaceflight requires a near real-time of monitoring bone loss during flight to alert astronauts to the potentially debilitating problems and direct the use of countermeasures. Present technology requires post-flight measurement of urinary calciu ...

  5. Cryogenic Cooling System for Zero-Venting Storage of Supercritical Air Packs

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: F302

    Supercritical air at cryogenic temperature is an attractive source of breathing air because of its very high density and low pressure. However, heat leak into the cryogenic tank causes the stored air to expand and vent, thus limiting the storage life of a charged system. We propose to develop a storage system for supercritical air tanks that provides cryogenic cooling that will intercept heat le ...

  6. Thermal Management of Superconducting Electromagnets in VASIMR Thrusters

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: F701

    Future manned space exploration missions will require high power electric propulsion. VASIMR thrusters are the most attractive option because they offer short transit times and low propellant usage. A key component in VASIMR thrusters is the cryogenic electromagnets. Cooling systems for the magnets do not currently exist. The innovation of the proposed project is a high-capacity turbo-Brayton ...

  7. Lightweight, High-Temperature Radiator Panels

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: F309

    Lightweight, high-temperature radiators are needed for future, high-efficiency power conversion systems for Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP). Creare has developed flexible radiators that are extremely lightweight, stowable in small volumes, and deployable with small forces and incorporate micrometeorite protection. The present technology is limited to 350 K operating temperature due to the use ...

  8. Live-Axis Turning for the Fabrication of Non-Rotationally Symmetric Optics

    SBC: Precitech, Inc.            Topic: T401

    The goal of this proposal is to develop a new method to create Non-Rotationally Symmetric (NRS) surfaces that overcomes the limitations of the current techniques and is fast, accurate and inexpensive. Diamond turning (DT) has revolutionized the fabrication of lightweight optical surfaces for defense and science applications such as forward-looking infrared radar and infrared spectrometers. It ha ...

  9. Microfluidic Analytical Separator for Proteomics

    SBC: TECHSHOT, INC.            Topic: B203

    SHOT proposes an innovative microfluidic device designed to effect a 2-dimensional resolution of a mixture of proteins based on isoelectric point (pI) and molecular weight. A novel approach is proposed to achieve 2-D-gel equivalence. The first dimension is to be immobilized isoelectric focusing, and the second dimension will utilize an array of 100+ size-exclusion chromatography columns in micro ...
