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. Underwater Adhesive for Coral Restoration

    SBC: METNA CO            Topic: 9201

    Coral transplantation is a primary management option for rehabilitation of degraded reefs. Stabilization (via adhesion, etc.) of transplants on existing reef or artificial substrates notably improves their survival rate. Improved underwater adhesives are needed for expedient and convenient stabilization of coral transplants with improved survival rate. A new hybrid organic-inorganic adhesive is pr ...

  2. Time-Gated Optical Oceanographic Sensors (TGOOS)

    SBC: CONNECTSIX LLC            Topic: 92

    There is a need for more capable and affordable means to measure optical properties and biological constituents of marine and freshwater environments. These measures are crucial for estimating the abundance of organisms such as those producing harmful algal blooms (HABs). Affordable and effective methods to extend the measurement range and improve sensitivity of traditional optical instruments wil ...

  3. Tampa Deep Sea Xplorers Compact Low Cost AUV Platform for Next Generation Seafloor and Water Column 3D Imaging Sensors

    SBC: TAMPA DEEP-SEA X-PLORERS LLC            Topic: 91

    Tampa Deep Sea Xplorers (TDSX) will conduct research into the feasibility of integrating a compact underwater LiDAR system for small ROVs and AUVs. LiDAR has revolutionized the collection of archeological, geographical, and cartographic data on dry land. Its use below the water’s surface however has been severely limited. The Phase I SIBR is a collaborative effort between TDSX and BeamSea Associ ...

  4. Sustainable seed production for North Atlantic kelp aquaculture

    SBC: Ocean's Balance Inc            Topic: 93

    Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, only 1% is met with domestic production. Expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Current kelp aquaculture methods rely on harvested reproductive tissue, which is not sustainable. In response to NOAA Topic 9.3, Health ...

  6. Rapid diagnostic testing for marine velvet disease, Amyloodinium ocellatum: a potential game changer for disease prevention and economic gain for fisheries and aquaculture

    SBC: LIVE ADVANTAGE BAIT, LLC            Topic: 91

    One of the most prominent challenges for the safe cultivation and maintenance of animals is control of infectious diseases. A. ocellatum is a parasitic infection that impacts all fish within the wide environmental range resulting in mass moralities in captivity. With a broad host and geographic range, all fish in aquaculture ($10B annually), aquarium trade species ($278M annually), 24 and conse ...

  8. OPEN WORLDS NOAA Portal

    SBC: MICHIGAN AEROSPACE CORP            Topic: 9302

    Many people recognize how critical it is to understand our weather, climate, and environment. Educators already use NOAA data and models in working with students and their communities as part of their teaching and outreach. With the exponential growth in data, however, many of them struggle with accessing and managing that data. Evolving data formats and computing requirements make it very challen ...

  10. Nowcasting wildfire ember risk in the Wildland Urban Interface (WUI) with WindTL

    SBC: IMPROVING AVIATION LLC            Topic: 92

    Atmospheric processes in the atmospheric boundary layer significantly influence the behavior of wildfires. Temporal and spatial variability of fine-scale winds at fire fronts play a key role in controlling the rate of fi re spread. Available wind information from satellites and numerical weather prediction models does not meet the need for the temporal and spatial resolution for precise modeling ...
