Award Data
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.

33a. A radiation and temperature-tolerant plasma contact microphone for sensing ultrasonic acoustic emissions in fatiguing metal structures
SBC: RADIASOFT LLC Topic: 33aStructural failure can be predicted by sensing ultrasonic acoustic emissions, spontaneously created when stress energy is released as metals fatigue due to a cyclic load. However, conventional piezoelectric sensors suffer rapid performance degradation when exposed to extreme temperatures and neutron radiation, limiting their ability to monitor the health of nuclear infrastructure. We will develop ...

A Browser Based Toolkit for Improved Particle Accelerator Controls
SBC: RADIASOFT LLC Topic: 30fModern particle accelerator facilities generate large amounts of data and face increasing demands on their operational performance. These datasets can be difficult to visualize and contain complex relationships that are challenging to understand. Additionally, as the demand on accelerator operations increases so does the need for automated tuning algorithms and control to maximize uptime with redu ...

Advanced Magnetic Air Separation Technology
SBC: Aqwest, LLC Topic: 22bCoal is a plentiful natural resource in the U.S. but has been underused due to pollution resulting from conventional combustion. Gasification, as opposed to conventional combustion, is the most thermally efficient and cleanest way to convert the energy content of coal into electricity, hydrogen, clean fuels, and value-added chemicals. Gasification plants can run more efficiently and be configured ...

A Microfluidic Ice Nucleating Particle Counter for Continuous Measurements from Small Aerial Platforms
SBC: Handix Scientific Inc. Topic: 23aQuantifying atmospheric aerosol, clouds and precipitation processes are critical needs for understanding and interpreting Earth’s changing energy budget, is a DOE objective, and is of broader benefit to the public. Specifically, the formation of ice in the atmosphere depends on the nature and abundance of ice nucleating particles, and has major implications for precipitation and cloud interactio ...

A Miniaturized, Lower Cost Static Diffusion Chamber for Cloud Condensation Nuclei Measurements
SBC: Handix Scientific Inc. Topic: 25cThe impacts of aerosol on cloud properties remains a major obstacle to better understanding of Earth’s changing energy budget and quantifying their impacts is a DOE objective and of broader benefit to the public. Cloud condensation nuclei (CCN) have a potentially major impact on cloud droplet number and size, and thereby affect cloud radiative properties, cloud lifetime, and precipitation. Impro ...

Amplifiers for High Repetition Rate Diode-Pumped Ultra-Intense Femtosecond Lasers
SBC: XUV LASERS, INC. Topic: 25cThe problem being addressed is the development of high intensity ultrashort pulse lasers, in recognition that today’s ultra-high intensity lasers are limited to repetition rates of < 10 Hz. Technical solutions are sought to enable the generation of high energy (joule-level) laser pulses that can be focused to highly relativistic intensity at high repetition rates (100-1000 Hz). The proposed proj ...

A New Sorbent Process for Transformational Carbon Capture Process
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 18dThe electricity produced from fossil fuels is essential to the world’s prosperity and security, but the increasing atmospheric CO2 concentrations caused by the fossil fuel combustion are implicated in global warming.Although there are several methods for separating CO2 from the flue gases, all have significant drawbacks, including loss of efficiency and increased capital and operating costs that ...

A Robust, Ground-Based Microwave Radiometer for Atmospheric Water vapor and Liquid Water Measurement
SBC: BOULDER ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES AND TECHNOLOGY, LLC Topic: 25bA lack of localized, current, and accurate information on temperature, water vapor, and liquid water from the lowest level of the atmosphere, i.e. the atmospheric boundary layer, is one of the most pressing problems of current meteorology and atmospheric science. This omission limits our understanding of the initiation of cloud droplets, ice crystals, and precipitation. More data on water vapor, t ...

Atomically Precise Membranes for Advanced Gas Separations
SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC. Topic: 07bEvery year, the world uses close to 100 trillion standard cubic feet of natural gas, all of which is pre-treated before entering to the pipeline, making natural gas processing by far the largest market for industrial gas separation processes and equipment. A particular need remains in the separation of CH4 and N2 to reduce the high costs involved in the cryogenic distillation based N2 rejection sy ...
