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. UrbanScale: Physics Informed Deep Learning Framework to Generate High-Resolution Urban Temperature Data

    SBC: SYNTHETIK APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 91

    Elevated temperatures observed in urban areas have significant implications for human health, energy consumption and infrastructure reliability, and their negative effects disproportionately impact disadvantaged populations. Increasing scientific and practical understanding of urban heat islands is an important step in identifying those regions at elevated risk, and effective mitigation strategi ...

  3. Auto-Label SAR (AL-SAR)

    SBC: ICR, INC.            Topic: OSD221002

    Correctly labeled data is essential for training AI/ML-based automatic target recognition (ATR). The training process is all the more complicated in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images because of their unique phenomenology, such as orientation-sensitive target signatures, layover, cross-range smearing, and radio frequency interference. New automated technology must reduce the cost and acc ...

  4. 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 (

  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. Scene Geometry Aided Automatic Target Recognition (ATR) for Radar

    SBC: Stratagem Group, Inc., The            Topic: OSD221001

    Reducing the false alarm rate (FAR) of Automated Target Recognition (ATR) algorithms is crucial for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR) and precision target engagement missions. There are many contributing factors that result in higher FAR for deep learning (DL) ATR networks operating on Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery, including: image distortions, unrepresentative target sign ...

  10. A Tide To Table Traceability and Marketing System for Shellfish Aquaculture.

    SBC: Shellfish Solutions Inc.            Topic: 9101

    In 2017 the CDC estimated 35,000 American got sick from Vibrio parahaemolyticus transmitted by shellfish--a 54% increase. However, according to the co-chair of the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Commission, “Our current system of traceback is inadequate.... Records are lost. Handwriting is illegible. More than half of all traceback investigations fail because the information in the value chain ...
