The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. AI Model for Automated Detection and Mapping of Intertidal Vegetation

    SBC: NEARVIEW LLC            Topic: 94

    There is a growing need for a single source of truth data about intertidal zones that can used by lawmakers, resource managers, conservationists, engineers, pharmaceutical and food manufacturers, farmers and fishers, and scientists for better environmental planning and protection, particularly for the land-sea interface. Our Phase II research will solve this challenge by developing a data analytic ...

  2. AI Model for Automated Detection and Mapping of Intertidal Vegetation

    SBC: NEARVIEW LLC            Topic: 94

    There is a dearth of accessible information and innovative tools to map and obtain biomass data for analysis, conservation, and sustainable resource management of intertidal vegetation in the United States and globally. A major technical problem is the integration of biological and physical data at small spatial scales (2 meters). We propose Unoccupied Aerial Systems (UAS) can be used for quality ...

  3. Low Cost Ocean Temperature Profile Sensing

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 9202

    Changes in ocean temperature profoundly impact the productivity of fisheries and aquaculture. Consistently sampling offshore ocean temperatures, particularly at depth, is challenging and expensive. However, opportunistic sampling from fishing gear can address the challenge. Existing programs, such as Environmental Monitoring on Lobster Traps, have capitalized on this on a small basis. Expanding th ...

  4. Low Cost Ocean Temperature Profile Sensing

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 9202

    Changes in ocean temperature have a profound impact on the productivity of fisheries and aquaculture. Sampling offshore ocean temperatures, particularly at depth, is challenging and expensive. As commercial fishermen are becoming more and more aware of the correlations between water temperature and harvest, opportunistic sampling from fishing gear can help fill this sampling need. Existing opportu ...

  5. A Compact Turbo-Rankin Energy Conversion System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 8211

    Creare is developing a miniature power system for NOA weather monitoring stations in remote locations. This system can provide electric power continuously from naturally occurring temperature differences that exist between ambient air and water in environments such as the Arctic Ocean and the Great Lakes. Generating power directly from these temperature difference uses the atmosphere and ocean/lat ...

  6. Shallow Water Bathymetric Survey Systems

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 829

    TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: Ship groundings can cause sever environmental damage to the delicate ecosystems such as coral reefs, seagrass beds, and beaches. At present, survey work is performed by hand – a method that is inefficient and difficult to perform reliably. Improved bottom survey tools are clearly needed to evaluate the extent and type of damage and assist in determining remediation efforts. ...

  7. Autonomous Meteorological Measurement System

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 8212

    TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: NOAA and the National Weather Service maintain an immense network of automated maritime, surface, and upper-air observing stations throughout the world and at great expense. These automated stations provide regularly updated data for both short-term weather prediction and long-term climate models. Maritime and surface observations occur as frequently as every 10 to 20 minutes, ...

  8. Clean Energy Source to Power NOAA Long-termObservation and Monitoring Networks

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 8211

    TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: Creare proposes to develop a self-sustained small-scale power conversion system to power NOAA’s weather monitoring network stations located in harsh uninhabited locations. Our miniature heat engine will take advantage of the existing year-round thermal gradients found between water and air in Arctic regions. Our baseline approach is the development of a compact Turbo-Rankine ...

  9. Open Water- A Citizen Science Monitoring Platform

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 833

    TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: Ensuring the health of coastal marine ecosystems has emerged as one of the primary environmental concerns of this century. Frequent monitoring of water quality is required to establish baseline levels and enable early detection of problems. Citizen science programs have been shown to provide a highly effective method of monitoring water quality. Creare is developing an open-sou ...

  10. A Compact and Agile Fixed-Wing UAS for VTOL Shipboard Operations

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 832

    TECHNICAL ABSTRACT: Commercially available unmanned aircraft systems (UASs) are not well designed to meet requirements for many atmospheric measurement applications, including deployment from ships, long endurance, and low cost. Existing multi-rotor systems suffer from limited payload and endurance. Existing fixed wing systems offer improved endurance and payload, but require significant support h ...
