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. A Visibility Risk-Assessment Tool for Maritime Operations

    SBC: APPLIED OCEAN SCIENCES, LLC            Topic: 93

    Fog and smog reduce visibility at sea, greatly impacting ship navigation and safety. Low visibility marine conditions decrease speed and safety of commercial fleets and increase costs through poor fuel load planning. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of maritime operations to the supply chain; therefore, decreasing associated cost and risk are of the utmost importance. Applied Ocean ...

  2. EXCLAIM: a Decision Support Toolkit to Mitigate Impacts of Cascading Climate Hazards

    SBC: METRON INCORPORATED            Topic: 91

    "Metron proposes to develop user-friendly software to promote understanding of impacts due to cascading climate hazards and extreme weather events, in collaboration with George Mason University (GMU). Climate and extreme weather (CEW) hazards pose significant risks to life and property. As extreme events become more prevalent, risks associated with cascading, compound events come to the fore, such ...

  3. Participatory Sensor Networks for Marine Navigation

    SBC: CELL MATRIX CORPORATION            Topic: 95

    The primary objective of this project is to improve awareness, safety and enjoyment for mariners in coastal and inland waters by the creation of a participatory sensor network (PSN) that facilitates sharing of marine observations with other mariners. We are adding a new degree of temporal fidelity to nautical charts and maps. The approach leverages volunteered geographic information to augment con ...

  4. HABSSED: Harmful Algal Bloom Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA

    SBC: ELDER RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 92

    Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a significant problem for the Blue Economy, adversely affecting drinking water, commercial fisheries, water recreation, and tourism. Early detection of HABs is crucial in mitigating their effects. We propose to continue our development of HABSSED (Harmful Algal Bloom Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA) into the prototyping phase. The HABSSED pipel ...

  5. Participatory Sensor Networks for Marine Navigation

    SBC: CELL MATRIX CORPORATION            Topic: 95

    The primary objective of the proposed endeavor is to build a community-driven marine coastal data harvesting ecosystem that not only provides a benefit to the individuals within the coastal community, but also enhances the data quality, completeness and timeliness of maritime safety and navigation databases. The approach leverages volunteered geographic information to motivate dataset generation f ...

  6. HABSSED: Harmful Algal Bloom Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA

    SBC: ELDER RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 92

    Harmful Algal Blooms (HABs) pose a significant and increasing risk, both to human health and to the Blue Economy. ‘Omics approaches to early detection promise to help mitigate these risks. We propose to develop HABSSED (HAB Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA) a portable, reliable, rapid, low-cost pipeline for detecting HABs in the field using 3rd generation sequencing with the Oxfor ...

  7. Ocean Color and Cloud Monitor (OCCAM)

    SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & SPACE TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH ASSOCIATES LLC            Topic: 9601

    The Ocean Color and Cloud Monitor (OCCaM) is a hyperspectral based instrument suite with ocean color and cloud observational capabilities. Following the successful Phase I SBIR design period, the Phase II effort will focus on the integration of the Phase I design into a benchtop unit for testing and validation of the design concept. The payload was designed to meet the SWaP requirements of a comme ...

  8. A Low-Cost Atmospheric Aerosol Monitoring System for Boundary Layer Air Quality, Visibility, Cloud Ceiling Height and Aerosol Properties

    SBC: BJE ENVIRONMENTAL OPTICS LLC            Topic: 9601

    This proposal addresses subtopic 9.6.01, Low-cost Oceanic and Atmospheric Sensors and Observing Systems. It is proposed that two instruments for measuring atmospheric aerosols be commercialized to operate automatically and routinely. Both instruments have been used in research settings for many years and share several aspects of technology. They could both be commercialized with significant advant ...

  9. Enabling BLOS UAS Operations through a Diverse-Source Global Positioning System

    SBC: BLACK SWIFT TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 9501

    Enabling BLOS operations in the National Airspace System is largely an issue of improved sensing. Under the UTM rules, BLOS operations require performance authorization from the FAA centered around navigation, communications, sharing of intent, avoiding other aircraft, and connecting to the FAA in near real-time. The current plan initially is for these performance metrics to be evaluated by the FA ...

  10. Optimization of high resolution multispectral satellite imagery collection for Arctic conditions through custom sensor parameterization and multi-sensor integration for through-the-water space-based seafloor imaging in support of coastal hydrographic surv

    SBC: TCARTA MARINE LLC            Topic: 9603

    A long time ago before GPS, satellites and multibeam sonars one Old Man and the Sea thought, “It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.” There is no room for luck when conducting hydrographic surveying in Arctic coastal waters. Satellites can play a key role in operational efficiency, cost effective use of existing technology and risk reduction. ...
