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. Self Cleaning Process Control Sensor for Thin Film Solar Cell Manufcaturing

    SBC: Colnatec, LLC            Topic: 02b

    Thin film solar cells are one of the most promising and cost effective means of generating electricity from sunlight. However, their manufacture requires the use of precision film thickness process control sensors in order to produce high efficiency and economically viable cells. Current film thickness sensors are not reliable enough to meet these demands, failing after continuous use in a matter ...

  2. Disruption Simulation Code for Tokamaks and ITER Applications

    SBC: Far-Tech, Inc.            Topic: 67c

    Arguably the most important issue facing the further development of magnetic fusion via advanced tokamaks is to predict, avoid, or mitigate disruptions. This problem recently becameone of the most challenging and hot topics in fusion research due to several potentially damaging effects, all of which can impact the ITER device. Among four disruption related topics: MHD dynamics, plasma edge physics ...

  8. Gated Field Emission Cathode RF Gun

    SBC: RADIABEAM TECHNOLOGIES, LLC            Topic: 64e

    High-brightness electron beams are required for a number of applications, from advanced accelerators to 4th generation light sources. However, the current technology for producing such beams requires an expensive, complicated laser system to drive a photocathode in a radio frequency gun. This technology is difficult to extend to high duty cycles, as is necessary for many applications in research a ...

  9. High Sensitivity Beam Position Monitors for 1300 MHz Croyomodules

    SBC: Far-Tech, Inc.            Topic: 63d

    The proposed International Linear Collider will require a high-accuracy beam position monitor (BPM) at each quadrupole magnet to aid with beam alignment and as an input to feedforward schemes to cancel alignment errors. In order to meet the requirements of ILC, the BPMs will require sub-micron position resolution, fast transient response, and a relatively large clear aperture of 78 mm. FAR-TECH, ...

  10. Low Cost, Reconfigurable, Multi-Channel Pulse Processing Platform

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: 59b

    Planned science instruments require timeofflight (TOF) detectors with subpicosecond resolution, high count rates, and a large number (hundreds of thousands) of parallel channels. Timetodigital converters (TDCs) are effective for TOF measurement. With few exceptions, subnanosecond TDCs have been implemented as applicationspecific integrated circuits (ASICs), which are expensive and timeconsuming to ...
