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 Device to Package a Semi-Solid Diet for Rearing Arthropod Predators

    SBC: BENEFICIAL INSECTARY, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A new semisolid artificial diet enclosed in membranes that allow feeding by the predacious green lacewing, Chrysoperla rufilabris, has been invented by USDA/ARS scientist A. Cohen. Phase I studies conducted by Beneficial Insectary showed that the Cohen diet in the Cohen food pack was superior in several key areas to the live insect diet currently used for commercial mass rearing of C. rufilabris. ...

  2. Improvement of a Bio-PCR Test for Routine Detection of Watermelon Fruit Blotch Pathogen

    SBC: CalSPL            Topic: N/A

    Fruit blotch is a serious seedborne disease of watermelon. In an attempt to control this disease, the seed industry has adopted a zero tolerance of infected seeds. Available tests for detecting infected seeds include grow-out, liquid plating, classical PCR tests. These tests are either not sensitive enough, resulting in false negative, not specific enough, resulting in false positives, or are very ...

  3. Maximizing Nutrient Utilization of High-Energy Feeds in Striped Bass Aquaculture

    SBC: KENT SEATECH CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    We will conduct research on nutrition and food intake regulation mechanism in hybrid striped bass. We will determine: 1) how dietary energy density, satiated feeding, energy-to-protein ratios, fish size, and temperature affect food and energy consumption rates; 2) how "high-energy" diets can improve growth and feed conversion; and 3) how these diets affect fish health, effluent water quality, and ...

  4. Low-Frequency Acoustic Technique to Size and Count Fish in Commercial Aquaculture

    SBC: Panta Rei, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    One hurdle to improving the efficiency of commercial aquaculture is the lack of methods for reliably counting and sizing the stock. Conventional hydroacoustical methods exist for determining fish populations in natural waters, but these methods have not been successfully adapted to commercial fish farming, where population densities are orders of magnitude higher and where wall and boundary effect ...

  5. Individual SOF Operator Combined Sensor System

    SBC: PVP ADVANCED EO SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    PVPAEO proposes to build on the successful development of a head worn sensor package providing and displaying simultaneous images from LWIR and NIR sensors using a single aperture. The enhanced system will incorporate a higher resolution LWIR sensor andan image intensified camera. Pixel level sensor fusion demonstrated in a laboratory environment as part of the phase I effort will be incorporate ...

  6. Integrated Systems for More Efficient Forest Fire Management

    SBC: Seagull Technology, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Firefighting is a very demanding and resource-intensive activity that involves distributed personnel in aircraft, in command centers, in ground vehicles, and on foot, working together in environments that are typically hot, smoky, disorienting, dynamic, and workload-intensive. The research established in Phase I the feasibility of today's sensors, communications and computers to implement Human-Ai ...

  7. Cost Effective Micropropagation Systems for Delivery of Elite Genetic Plants to the Field for Agricultural Production

    SBC: Tissue-Grown Corporation            Topic: N/A

    The Phase I effort demonstrated that vegetative propagation can be a cost-effective replacement for seed in the production of transplants for seedless watermelon. Mass propagation techniques may now be economically applied to other field-transplanted horticultural crops and the potential benefits for U.S. agriculture can be extended to the rapid introduction of new varieties from several technolog ...

  8. Interactive, Multimedia Nutrition Literacy Teaching Tool for Classroom Instruction

    SBC: VALDEZ AND ASSOCIATES            Topic: N/A

    An estimated 88% of children ages 6-12 and 94% of children age 13-18 have a poor diet that needs improvement. Only 1% of the nation's children meet all the Food Guide Pyramid nutritional recommendations. Fifty-one percent of the nation's children meet all the Food Guide Pyramid nutritional recommendations. Fifty-one percent of children and adolescents eat less than one serving of fruit a day, and ...
