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. In-Situ Space Weather Analysis

    SBC: ORBOTIC SYSTEMS INC            Topic: 95

    The goal of this Phase 1 SBIR is for Orbotic Systems to prove the feasibility of generating in-situ, global, ionospheric­thermospheric neutral density and wind ion data on a near real-time basis. Orbotic Systems is developing an instrument called WIND (Wind Ion Neutral Density). This proposal leverages Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 7 and 8 hardware and software as the basis to develop a new ge ...

  2. Low-Cost, Low-Power Sensor Nodes for Monitoring Air Quality Impacted by Wildfire Smoke

    SBC: INTERLINK ELECTRONICS, INC            Topic: 91

    "The impact of wildfires on air quality in the surrounding hundreds of miles has been discussed since the ‘70s. There have been a number of studies investigating the severity of the impact of wildfire smoke on the health of people in affected areas that have shown that hundreds of thousands of people die as a consequence of smoke-tainted air. Many studies focus on the impact of particulate matte ...

  3. Developing data standards for accelerated digital R&D of semiconductor materials from nanoscale

    SBC: EXABYTE INC.            Topic: 2

    Semiconductors electronics is integral to America’s economic and national security as manifested by the CHIPS act. Ever-increasing materials requirements for semiconductor R&D, combined with the advent of machine learning, and availability of materials databases, pose a need to understand and exploit these methods for acceleration of the materials and manufacturing lifecycle. The proposal aims t ...

  4. Materials for Gravure Printing of Chemical Gas Sensors

    SBC: INTERLINK ELECTRONICS, INC            Topic: 2

    From 2012-2015 the world’s first printed amperometric gas sensors were developed at KWJ Engineering Inc. as the subject of an NSF SBIR. The patented technology was used to found SPEC-sensor LLC and obtain commercial funds. More than one million sensors have been sold using SPEC’s patented designs, which led to the recent acquisition by Interlink Electronics, Inc. The next challenge is to grow ...

  5. DIGITAL TV-BASED POSITIONING FOR FIRST RESPONDER TRACKING IN GPS-DENIED ENVIRONMENTS

    SBC: Tiami LLC            Topic: 1

    An area significantly lacking in first responder situational awareness is accurate responder location within various types of building structures above ground and underground such as tunnels and basements where GPS coverage is unavailable. GPS alternatives that rely on pre-deployed infrastructure such as indoor WiFi or mobile wireless networks or require the deployment of uncrewed aerial vehicles ...

  6. On-Chip Cold Cathode Electron Sources for X-Ray Generation & Imaging: Advancing a NIST-Patented Technology

    SBC: JULIA JEAN, LLC            Topic: 2

    Over a decade ago, scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) invented a cold cathode electron field emitter with the potential to disrupt the state of the art for imaging and communications systems. NIST showed that these devices, comprising nanoporous silicon carbide structures of various hierarchical shapes, can emit electrons from their surfaces purely by applicati ...

  7. HydroForecast Seasonal: Improving operational water supply forecasts to enable risk-based decisions and planning

    SBC: UPSTREAM PBC            Topic: 94

    Ensuring a safe water supply for society and the sectors that rely on water for economic and environmental purposes is a difficult problem that needs significant investment in R&D across public and private organizations. Climate change accelerates and exacerbates this challenge, causing a breakdown in some traditional approaches that use the past to predict the future streamflow on a seasonal (10 ...

  8. Nitric Oxide Measurements to improve Atmospheric Densities (NOMAD)

    SBC: SPACE ENVIRONMENT TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: 95

    The Ionosphere-Thermosphere-Electrodynamics (I-T-E) Earth system varies markedly on different spatial and temporal scales and this variation can have adverse effects on human operations and systems. There is a need to specify and forecast near-Earth I-T-E space weather to reduce the risks from hazards to systems that operate in this environment. An indicator of the current state and the near-term ...

  9. Innovative UV Biofouling Mitigation Technique for In-water Optical Sensors

    SBC: BIOSPHERICAL INSTRUMENTS, INC.            Topic: 93

    This project will build upon research conducted during a Phase I SBIR effort, which showed that germicidal UV-C radiation emitted by LEDs installed inside of submerged radiometers can reach levels known to prevent biofouling (accumulation of biological matter) on their external optical surfaces (windows, diffusers) without affecting the instrument’s measurements. This technology will improve the ...

  10. Enabling Data Measurements Using Smart Buoy Technology On Fishing Gear

    SBC: Blue Ocean Gear Inc.            Topic: 93

    As global efforts toward ocean health have gained momentum, it is critical to generate high quality ocean data for industries that operate and/or manage ocean resources. Blue Ocean Gear has demonstrated how Smart Buoys equipped with sensors can be useful to fisheries by tracking gear and providing enhanced marine condition awareness. Building on Phase I efforts, this project will highlight the opp ...
