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. Transportation Autonomous Device

    SBC: INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC MACHINES CORPORATION            Topic: 101FR4

    Railroad yards are in constant movement with potentially thousands of train cars moving over miles of track compressed into a limited area. The harsh environment presents many safety hazards for railroad workers who must move through this environment and perform assigned tasks. Job related injuries cost he railroads over $1 billion annually and from 2008 30.3% of those injuries occurred in the r ...

  2. Field Rail Welding with the Electroslag Welding Process

    SBC: EST&D LLC            Topic: 101FR5

    The two most frequently used field rail welding processes, thermite and flash-butt, have limitations. The thermite process, though less expensive and more portable, sometimes produces welds with inclusions which can limit short term quality and long term fatigue life. Flash-butt, which produces a very high quality weld, is not as portable as thermite. SBIR solicitation 10.1 FR5 requires a new w ...

  3. High Efficiency, Large-Area, 1550 nm InGaAs Photodiodes

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A back-illuminated planar InGaAs photodiode tested to have 95% quantum effiiency (QE) at 1550 nm, area greater than 1 mm2, low capacitance (125 MHz) will be improved. Although the existing Phase I device exhibited bulk material dark current generation better than commercially available devices, the sidewall-generated dark current was found to dominate the noise equiva ...

  4. Distributed MBARK Based Mobile Face Recognition

    SBC: Ad Harmony            Topic: N/A

    Perform a feasibility study on developing a face recognition application in a cloud computing environment utilizing MBARK as the middleware. The application will have a client piece that will run on a mobile device and a server piece that will run on a higher-performance computing cluster. The specific objectives of the feasibility can be enumerated as follows: 1. Split/distribute the MBARK middle ...

  5. Vacuum Windows for Third Generation Syschrotron Radiation Beamlines

    SBC: AVS US INC            Topic: N/A

    Improving the quality and intensity of the x-ray beam is an important design goal for every synchrotron installation. Although small, the effects of vacuum windows on x-ray absorption and phase contrast cannot be neglected. Synchrotron x-rays have wavelengths on the order of one Angstrom (1 x 10-10m), the same order of magnitude as inter-atomic distances. These x-rays are used to study many differ ...

  6. Concrete Environmental Monitoring Sensor

    SBC: AVS US INC            Topic: 07FH3

    With infrastructure costs escalating it is becoming essential to monitor the health of concrete structures so that timely maintenance can maximize their useful lives. This SBIR will demonstrate the feasibility of using a passive sensor, embedded within concrete, to measure mositure, temperature, pH and concentrations of chlorides. It will provide critical data for evaluating concrete performance s ...

  7. Environmental Pavement Monitor

    SBC: AVS US INC            Topic: 07FH3

    With infrastructure costs escalating it is becoming essential to monitor the health of asphalt and concrete pavement so that timely maintenance can maximize their usefulness. This SBIR will develop a sensor that can be embedded within concrete or asphalt, which can measure moisture, temperature, stress and strain. It will provide critical data for evaluating pavement performance starting with th ...

  8. AN INTERACTIVE, NATIONWIDE GEOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION SYSTEM TO ADMINISTER HIGHWAY ROUTE DESIGNATIONS FOR THE TRANSPORTATION OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

    SBC: Aegis Information Systems            Topic: N/A

    IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS TRANSPORTATION UNIFORM SAFETY ACT OF 1990 (HMTUSA), DOT IS NOW REQUIRED TO CREATE A CENTRALIZED DATABASE OF STATE-DESIGNATED HAZARDOUS MATERIAL HIGHWAY ROUTES. DOT IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR PERIODICALLY UPDATING AND PUBLISHING A LIST OF CURRENLY EFFECTIVE HAZARDOUS MATERIALS HIGHWAY ROUTE DESINGATIONS IN THE FEDERAL REGISTER. IN RESPONSE TO THIS NEED, AEGIS ...
