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. Sensor Systems for Complete Residential Energy Monitoring

    SBC: TIAX LLC            Topic: N/A

    In Phase 1, TIAX developed and demonstrated a residential energy monitoring system (R-EMS) with potential national energy savings of $20 billion annually. Based on user requirements and well-established systems engineering methodology, TIAX’s R-EMS solution is inexpensive, easy to install and operate, and is supportive of intuitive decision making about energy usage. In Phase 2, TIAX will extend ...

  2. High Efficiency, Large-Area, 1550 nm InGaAs Photodiodes

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A back-illuminated planar InGaAs photodiode tested to have 95% quantum effiiency (QE) at 1550 nm, area greater than 1 mm2, low capacitance (125 MHz) will be improved. Although the existing Phase I device exhibited bulk material dark current generation better than commercially available devices, the sidewall-generated dark current was found to dominate the noise equiva ...

  3. A Miniaturized Carbon Dioxide Detector

    SBC: GINER INC            Topic: 819S

    NOAA supports over 25,000 underwater dive programs per year. To increase the duration and depth of these dives, the use of closed circuit mixed gas rebreathers (CCRs) is being considered. As there currently are no sensors to detect CO2 levels in the breathing gas, Giner, Inc. proposes to continue development of an electrochemical CO2 sensor for CCR use. The technical innovation is the use of a ...

  4. Optimized Soft Magnetic Electrodes for Ultra-sensitive Magnetic Tunnel Juction Field Sensors

    SBC: Micro Magnetics, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    This SBIR project aims to develop a new class of low-field magnetic sensors based on magnetic tunnel junctions with magnesium oxide (MgO) tunnel barriers. The Phase II effort will continue the optimization of sensor performance, based on three major research thrusts. First of all, we will continue the magnetic engineering effort, turning the properties of the two key magnetic electrodes, in order ...

  5. High Pressure Specimen Chamber

    SBC: TECHSHOT, INC.            Topic: 814

    Even today as a highly technical and advanced world civilization, the physiology of deep sea fish and invertebrates continues to remain mysterious and poorly known. Past specimen containers fail to either have the size or volume needed or lack the robustness for high pressure containment of in many cases, lack the repeatability necessary to ensure a reasonable lifetime of continuous use. The Tec ...

  6. Efficient Low-Dark-Count Detector for Photon Counting

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Voxtel has demonstrated efficient high-speed photon counting with thresholded linear-mode avalanche photodiode (APD) receivers using multi-gain-stage InGaAs/InAIAs APDs. In contrast to Geiger APDs, thresholded photon-counting linear APD receivers are thought not to suffer afterpulsing, and can support maximum count rates (MCR) up to 2 or 3 orders of magnitude faster than Geiger APDs. However, the ...

  7. ADVANCED SYSTEM FOR MINEHUNTING AND OCEANOGRAPHIC REMOTE SENSING

    SBC: Atlantic Applied Research Corp            Topic: N/A

    A NEW APPROACH IS PROPOSED FOR OCEANOGRAPHIC REMOTE SENSING WITH DUAL USE APPLICATIONS IN MINE HUNTING, OCEAN BOTTOM MAPPING, AND SEA FLOOR REMOTE SENSING. THE WEAVER IS A SONAR SYSTEM INTENDED TO DETECT, LOCALIZE, AND CLASSIFY SEAFLOOR BOTTOM LAYING TARGETS, DISCRIMINATING MAN-MADE ITEMS FROM NATURAL ONES IN THE PRESENCE OF NATURAL CLUTTER; IT EXPLOITS HERETOFORE OVERLOOKED TARGET-PHYSICS BASED C ...

  8. COMPACT, ULTRA-SENSITIVE NO2 FIELD MONITOR

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: N/A

    THIS PROPOSAL DESCRIBES A PROGRAM TO DEVELOP A NEW TYPE OF NO2 VAPOR SENSOR BASED ON A ROOM-TEMPERATURE TUNABLE DIODE LASER ABSORPTION TECHNIQUE. RECENT ADVANCES IN INEXPENSIVE, VISIBLE DIODE LASERS, AND ULTRA-SENSITIVE DETECTION CIRCUITRY NOW PERMIT REAL-TIME MONITORING OF TRACE GASEOUS SPECIES WITH SIMPLE OPTO-ELECTRONIC PACKAGES. THE SENSOR WILL BE BASED ON VISIBLE NO2 ABSORPTION NEAR 632 NM (1 ...

  9. GUIDED-WAVE POLARIZING BEAMSPLITTER

    SBC: RAMAR CORP.            Topic: N/A

    SEVERAL CONCEPTS FOR INTERGRATED OPTIC POLARIZATION BEAMSPLITTERS HAVE BEEN PROPOSED. HOWEVER, FOR ANY INTEGRATED OPTIC DESIGN, ACHIEVING 30 DB EXTINCTION REQUIRES A FINE TUNING MECHANISM FOR THE COUPLER. WE PROPOSE A NOVEL METHOD, USING PROTON EXCHANGE AND TITANIUM DIFFUSION IN LITHIUM NIOBATE, TO FINE TUNE A POLARIZATION SEPARATING COUPLER. THE TECHNIQUE ALLOWS MODIFYING THE TRANSFER LENGTH FOR ...
