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. Advanced cooling using an Electrochemical Heat Pipe (EHP)

    SBC: Johnson Research & Development Co Inc            Topic: 01a

    Refrigeration and air conditioning in buildings, industry, and transportation account for approximately 10 quads of U.S. primary energy consumption. In addition, current mass marketed air conditioning and refrigeration cycles utilize environmentally harmful refrigerants that are strong green house gases. This subtopic seeks innovative approaches to achieve high efficiencies and net-zero direct GHG ...

  2. Ultra Lightweight High Pressure Hydrogen Fuel Tanks Reinforced With Carbon Nanotubes

    SBC: APPLIED NANOTECH, INC.            Topic: 03a

    One effective way to lower the weight, thus decreasing the carbon fiber usage and lowering the cost, of a CFRP tank is to improve the mechanical properties of the CFRP composite resin matrix using nano-reinforcement. Using the resin matrix itself as a source of composite strength, along with the carbon fiber reinforcement, results in a tank that requires less carbon fiber material. This solution d ...

  3. Ultra-Thin III-V Films for Tandem Photovoltaic Application

    SBC: Nano EnerTex            Topic: 05a

    III-V semiconductors based solar cells display the highest sunlight conversion efficiency. Nevertheless, the material cost of current III-Vs and their fabrication process is very high which impedes their use for flat panel, large market applications. This project aims to explore, evaluate and implement defect tolerant high efficiency tandem solar cells based on more earth abundant III-V materials ...

  4. Acid-Base Blend Membranes for Redox Flow Batteries

    SBC: LYNNTECH INC.            Topic: 19a

    Redox flow batteries (RFBs) have the potential for economical storage of electrical energy than other battery chemistries. They use high-cost ion exchange membranes as separators between anolyte and catholyte, which prevent broad market penetration. Proton exchange membranes (e.g., Nafion) are poorly selective, allowing undesired cross-diffusion of active species in solution electrolytes across t ...

  5. Development of a Highly Selective Exchange Resin for Ga(III) Sequestration

    SBC: LYNNTECH INC.            Topic: 57a

    Separations chemistry is an important tool that is employed for a wide variety of applications associated with DOE missions. The ligand 4-chloro-2-[(6-chloro-7-methyl-2H-1,3-benzoxazin-3(4H)-yl)methyl]-5-methylphenol is currently employed as an additive to solvent extraction methods, which are neither rapid nor environmentally sound due to large quantities of toxic waste generated. The development ...

  6. Refactor++ Software Engineering Tool

    SBC: Semantic Designs Inc            Topic: 62c

    C++ is a key software technology for programming embedded systems and sophisticated applications, widely used for mathematical modeling codes fundamental to modern physics and engineering. Such codes are complex, often requiring high performance, and are built over long periods as scientists come and go. A significant problem that delays obtaining results for science applications is the scientist ...

  7. Tantalum Tube for Diffusion Barriers

    SBC: Shear Form Inc            Topic: 64a

    Diffusion barriers used in Nb3Sn wire are currently fabricated by wrapping Ta sheet into a tube with signifigant overlap. The result of current practice is non-uniform deformation in the Ta sheet as it thins by wire drawing because of non-uniform grain size and texture. In addition, a signifigant portion of the diffusion barrier is twice as thick as need be. The overlap is wasteful for Ta and prod ...

  8. Textured-Powder Jelly-Roll Process for High-Performance Bi-2212/Ag Wire

    SBC: Accelerator Technology Corporation            Topic: 64a

    Superconducting wire is used in electromagnets that are used in energy research particle accelerators, fusion tokomaks and in biomedical research - NMR imaging and spectroscopy. New frontiers in those areas of research require ever higher magnetic field strength, and that requires ever-more robust superconductors. Bi-2212 is the only one of the high-temperature superconductors that can be made i ...

  9. Data Centric Computing for Nuclear Physics

    SBC: Virkaz Technologies            Topic: 42c

    The infrastructure developed by Google for its MapReduce algorithm has obviously had an impact upon the world of search. There has been an emergence of algorithmic implementations of the MapReduce framework to support computing in the bio-sciences, machine learning, and general high performance computing. The basic attractiveness of MapReduce and other data-oriented topologies is that they provide ...

  10. High Specific Activity Sm-153 by Post Irradiation Isotope Separation

    SBC: IsoTherapeutics Group LLC            Topic: 46b

    When the stable samarium-152 (Sm-152) isotope is irradiated, radioactive samarium-153 (Sm-153) is produced through a neutron capture reaction in yields of only about 2%, and this radioactive, therapeutic isotope (Sm-153) cannot be separated from the much more abundant (~98%) non-radioactive isotope (Sm-152) by chemical methods. Successful development of a new process using electromagnetic mass sep ...
