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. Seaweed-based bioplastic replacement for commercial lobster fishing gear.

    SBC: VIABLE GEAR LLC            Topic: 93

    Viable Gear will provide proof-of-concept for a seaweed-based bioplastic to be used in manufacturing a compostable biotwine for marine equipment, designed to replace petroleum-based plastics. This addresses NOM-SBIR research topic area 9.3, The Changing Ocean - specifically to "support increased protection and restoration of marine and coastal habitats to enhance vital ecosystems", by helping decr ...

  2. Persistently Elevated Gas-free Aerostatic Sensor Utility System (PEGASUS)

    SBC: Anuma Aerospace, LLC            Topic: 91

    Anuma Aerospace seeks to develop the conceptual design for, and determine the technical and economic feasibility of, a Persistently-Elevated, Gas-free, Aerostatic Sensor Utility System (PEGASUS), which will work like a data buoy in the sky, continuously collecting and transmitting weather data from the marine atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) with the data being made available via application progr ...

  3. Development and evaluation of peroxide free fin-fish nursery feeds with active DHA-synthase enzyme (DSe)

    SBC: FPN LLC            Topic: 93

    The marine microalgae Crypthecodinium cohnii (C. cohnii) contains high levels of DHA and DHA synthase enzyme (DSe) both of which may provide nutritional benefits to finfish for human consumption. Field Phyto-Nutrients LLC has developed a process for algae-based feed preparation where the algae is dried under low temperature (

  4. Logistics Management of Drifters and Predictive Methods for Ocean Sensing

    SBC: GEOMETRIC DATA ANALYTICS INC.            Topic: 94

    We propose AI capabilities that improve modeling complex ocean dynamics and assist in the logistical management and planning of uncrewed deployment campaigns. Uncrewed sensor platforms sense and collect data for many interests, including tracking chemical and biological tracers, assimilating ocean dynamics observations into forecast models, and enhancing naval situational awareness. The recent eme ...

  5. 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. Measuring Stormwater Overflow with Synthetic Aperture Radar

    SBC: WOLVERINE RADAR COMPANY            Topic: 93

    Many municipalities in the United States have begun to use impermeability measurements to incentivize storm water retention as part of the architectural and landscaping design process. These measurements are performed through analysis of high-resolution aerial photography and updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. The practice of using high resolution aerial or even satellite photography is pr ...

  7. MATCH (Multimodal AcousTic Characterization of Hoax calls) a System for Hoax Maritime Distress Call Detection

    SBC: VADUM INC            Topic: DHS221001

    Vadum will develop MATCH (Multimodal AcousTic Characterization of Hoax calls) a novel machine learning (ML) system to automatically and accurately detect deception in maritime Search and Rescue (SAR) audio distress calls and aid Coast Guard watchstanders in disambiguating hoaxes from legitimate calls. MATCH will substantially alleviate the burden on Coast Guard watchstanders by continuously monito ...

  8. Heuristic-Optimized Analysis of Xmissions (HOAX)

    SBC: SONALYSTS INC            Topic: DHS221001

    The US Coast Guard (USCG) Search and Rescue (SAR) program’s mission is to prevent loss of life in every situation where actions or resources could possibly be brought to bear. Because of this serious obligation, the USCG expends resources to pursue all distress notifications until they can be identified as a hoax. Sector Communications Unit (CU) watchstanders typically spend 12- hour watches lis ...

    SBC: MUTUALINK, INC.            Topic: DHS221004

    Everything over IP and wide area cellular networks has not entirely solved the interoperability issues found in public safety communications. Prioritized public safety communicators are not able to connect with one another across major wireless carriers.We propose a systematic approach to identify an architecture and a set of standardized protocols forming a platform of interoperability. The purpo ...

  10. Setac: Enhancing Usability of Archived Weather Data in the Digital Age

    SBC: INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF VIRTUAL ORGANIZATIONS, INCORPORATED            Topic: 95

    NOAA has used historical documents such as ship logs and many other resources to collect weather data critical to modeling global and regional climate and weather conditions. To date, the optical character recognition (OCR) technology developed over the past three decades remains limited in the ability to recognize handwriting and reliably extract text in context. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms ...
