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. Automated monitoring of salmonoids in streams with new solid-state LiDar

    SBC: FIELD DATA SERVICES LLC            Topic: 93

    Maintaining healthy populations of salmon and trout (salmonids) has significant biological, cultural, and economic benefits. Significant data gaps exist for sources of mortality in juvenile and adult salmonids in small streams. These gaps can create discrepancies between main stem escapement counts and estimates of population health. Field Data Services, LLC is developing novel camera trap technol ...

  2. The pHyter and Other Oceanographic Tools for Citizen Science and STEM

    SBC: SUNBURST SENSORS, LLC            Topic: 95

    The pHyter is a handheld device that accurately measures pH using colorimetry, communicating with a cellphone via Bluetooth Low Energy. The app records location, time, temperature, pH and meta-data. In Phase I, we redesigned the instrument using an ‘internet of things’ development platform, modified the app to operate on both Android and iOS phones, and showed, through a network of partners, t ...

  3. Automated Monitoring of Salmon Streams with a New Solid-State LiDAR

    SBC: FIELD DATA SERVICES LLC            Topic: 93

    Field Data Services (FDS) proposes a technical feasibility study of newly available solid state LiDAR sensor chips for detecting migrating anadromous fish in small spawning streams. The LiDAR chip, first introduced in October 2020, uses an invisible infrared laser to measure time-of-flight distances to nearby objects with millimeter accuracy. This tiny computer chip is breakthrough technology that ...

  4. Adapting existing technologies to improve seafood production and feed a hungry world

    SBC: RADMANTIS LLC            Topic: 91

    Expansion of aquaculture production depends crucially on the development of technologies that are able to add uncrewed management capabilities to fish farming operations, i.e., the ability to control the tank’s population remotely and without human presence. The present project aims to expand our successful Phase I feasibility research toward commercializing an autonomous device that can be inse ...

  5. Adopt existing technologies for improved seafood production and to better feed a growing world

    SBC: RADMANTIS LLC            Topic: 91

    Expansion of aquaculture production depends crucially on the development of technologies that are able to perform functions important in a fish farming facility, without human input. For instance, early detection of a disease or parasite outbreak is critical in intensive aquaculture settings. Parasites, such as Sea Lice in Salmonid aquaculture are responsible for large losses. Existing options for ...

  6. pHyter: An Oceanographic Tool for Citizen Science and STEM Education

    SBC: SUNBURST SENSORS, LLC            Topic: 95

    NOAA SBIR topic 9.5 includes as a research priority the development of tools, platforms, … to make environmental information… more accessible, usable, understandable, and relatable to students, citizen scientists, and the public. Sunburst Sensors has twice used NOAA SBIR funding to successfully create new products. We propose using phase 1 funding to demonstrate the prototype pHyter as a tool ...

  7. Processing, Exploitation and Dissemination (PED) System for Rapid Response to Disasters

    SBC: SKYWARD, LTD.            Topic: 9401

    "First responders are more frequently using Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS) to aid rapid response to various types of natural disasters. Platforms, however; are typically focused on small, specific areas of interest and resulting data is rarely shared in real time. Decision makers may have no access to this data, nor access to broad area Common Operating Pictures (COP) fusing real-time sUAS d ...

  8. Development of a Rapid Monitoring System for Detection of Pathogens in Marine Aquaculture

    SBC: INNOVAPREP LLC            Topic: 836

    pathogens in marine aquaculture waters. Phase II research will look to improve sample concentration, cell lysis, and DNA purification techniques that were developed in Phase I. More specifically, optimization of the prototype lysis/elution fluid will be further developed for cell lysis using BSL-1 organisms, Vibrio harveyi, a surrogate for pathogenic Vibrio ssp. Techniques will be developed to ove ...

  9. Immobilized Enzyme Additive Package for Plant-Based Finfish Aquaculture Feed

    SBC: Guild Associates, Inc. DBA Guild Biosciences            Topic: 835

    TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: A cost-effective, nutritious feed that minimally impacts the surrounding environment is critical to the profitability of a commercial aquaculture operations. As common sources of protein, such as fishmeal and fish processing byproducts, are becoming limited and more expensive to use, feed producers have turned to plant-based proteins. Plant-based feeds however, come with their ...

  10. Development of a Long Term pH and pCO2 Lagrangian Drifter

    SBC: SUNBURST SENSORS, LLC            Topic: 831C

    Quantifying oceanic CO2 uptake and ocean acidification and understanding their impact on global climate and ocean ecology are key goals of NOAA’s climate change research programs. NOAA’s request for Development of a long-term Lagrangian pH and pCO2 drifter (SBIR Subtopic 8.3.1C) aims to address these goals by developing technology that measures both pCO2 and pH that can be widely deployed in t ...
