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. Precision 10 kV Programmable Voltage Source

    SBC: Low Thermal Electronics, Inc.            Topic: NA

    Low Thermal Electronics, Inc. proposes to design a stand-alone, programmable voltage source capable of supplying precision voltages in the range of zero to 1,000 volts direct current (DC), with options for scaling up to 10,000 volts, and with a total expanded uncertainty (k=2) of less than 10uV/V for the 10,000 volt version. This instrument will improve state-of-the-art measurements in high resist ...

  2. Fiber Pigtailed On-Chip Mid-infrared Difference Frequency Generation in Silicon

    SBC: OMEGA OPTICS, INC.            Topic: NA

    We propose a fiber-pigtailed strained silicon platform for tunable difference frequency generation (DFG) in mid-infrared (MIR) with tunable continuous wave near-infrared (NIR) sources. Stress exerted by silicon nitride induces second-order nonlinear susceptibility c(2) on underlying centro-symmetric silicon. NIR light is coupled into silicon and MIR light is coupled out of silicon using sub-wavele ...

  3. Flexible Broad-band Optical Device

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: AF17AT010

    Optical characterization of materials has remained an active area of research for many decades. With each advancement in light sources, detector technologies, microscopy, or compact spectroscopic analysis, a renewed effort is made to apply these technologies to material characterization, especially for biological tissues. There is a current need to characterize the details of the interaction of ...

  4. Optical Diagnostics and Analysis for Multiphase Blast

    SBC: PROTECTION ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LLC            Topic: AF17AT020

    The damage mechanisms induced by multi-phase blast weapons are not well understood. This is due to the complexity of the phenomenologies associated with weapon effects and also the difficulties associated with measuring and quantifying such phenomena under testing conditions. The proposed Phase I effort will develop an optical imaging and image analysis approach to identify and quantify multi-pha ...

  8. Quasi-Model Development using Digital and Non-destructive Inspection Data

    SBC: TEXAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE , AUSTIN, INC.            Topic: AF161020

    ABSTRACT: TRI/Austin will develop a method for generating 3D digital models of aircraft components and structures by piggybacking on data from commonly used in-service depot inspections. Modern cost saving programs, such as Condition Based Maintenance Plus (CBM+) and High Velocity Maintenance (HVM), developed and implemented throughout the Air Force, rely on digital data flows and analyses. Unfo ...

  10. Realtime Multiframe Blind Deconvolution (MFBD) for Imaging through Turbulence

    SBC: LICKENBROCK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: AF171025

    Ground-based space telescope imaging contends with atmospheric turbulence that distorts imagery. Adaptive optics (AO) mitigate these effects. Deconvolution is needed because of residual distortions and because AO is not always available. When considering
