The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Solar-thermal production of synthetic flake graphite from natural gas

    SBC: SolGrapH Inc.            Topic: C5613a

    This project aims to advance and commercially translate technology that uses concentrated solar radiation to convert natural gas directly into high-quality graphite and hydrogen. The solar-driven pyrolysis process involves no catalyst and releases zero CO2 as it captures carbon in the form of high-value graphite in a scalable, roll-to-roll (R2R) process. The pyrolysis process also produces a high- ...

  2. Terrestrial-aquatic isotope sensor for in-situ field measurements

    SBC: OPTO-KNOWLEDGE SYSTEMS INC            Topic: 29aq

    Ecological and biogeochemical processes occurring along coastal interfaces are poorly understood on a mechanistic level and critically underrepresented in current models, impeding our ability to make informed resource management decisions. Stable isotope ratio measurements, e.g., 13C/12C, can provide detail about pathways and sources by adding specificity and attribution information that concentra ...

  3. Development of Ligand-Associated Solid-Liquid Extraction Media System for Separation of High Purity Individual Rare Earth Elements from Coal-based Resources

    SBC: GLYCOSURF, INC.            Topic: 24a

    Commercial sources of rare earth elements include bastnaesite (La, Ce)FCO3, monazite, (Ce, La, Y, Th)PO4, and xenotime, YPO4. However, the processing of these materials to extract and recover the rare earth elements is challenging and very process intensive. However, there are numerous domestic sources of rare earth elements, from waste materials such as coal fly ash, which could be extracted bene ...

  4. Realtime Neuromorphic Cyber-Agents (Cyber-NeuroRT)

    SBC: QUANTUM VENTURA INC            Topic: 03a

    Cybersecurity in HPC environments operates at much larger scales than traditional IT domains and the traditional Machine learning networks are not fast enough to handle large volumes of computations. Neural networks combined with Edge-based hardware-resident next-generation technologies such as neuromorphic processors can monitor and even predict events in high throughput environments and hence pr ...

  5. Field-deployable Li Resource Characterization and Extraction Potential Quantification

    SBC: Global Subsurface Strategies, Inc.            Topic: C5301a

    Demand for electric vehicles and distributed energy storage will require many terawatt- hours of new battery capacity over the coming years. Demand for lithium is growing at a rate of over 20% per year due to rapidly expanding lithium-ion battery manufacturing, and higher lithium content per unit energy will be needed for next-generation technologies such as all-solid-state batteries. Unlocking th ...

  6. Bimetallic Refractory High-Entropy Thick Alloy Coatings for Corrosion-Resistant Liquid-Cooled High-Temperature Reactor Components

    SBC: DRS RESEARCH            Topic: C5512a

    Advanced high temperature nuclear reactors such as liquid salt cooled reactors (fixed fuel or dissolved fuel) and lead-bismuth cooled reactors, experience serious corrosion problems. Although the structural components are made out of corrosion resistant steels such as SS 316 or 800H alloys, (per ASME Section III Division 5 guidance), they do not provide enough protection. Hence, there is a need fo ...

  7. Quantum All-Optical Transponder (QOAT)

    SBC: FREEDOM PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 06a

    Quantum networks will be tasked with entangling physically separated quantum nodes and facilitating secure communication between distant parties. This necessitates the development of devices that can support high data rate transparent optical quantum networks that coexist with classical networks on a shared optical fiber transmission system. Freedom Photonics will develop a Quantum All-Optical Tra ...

  8. Computation model for an in-field localization of biofuel plant damage due to herbivore attacks

    SBC: Afflo Sensors LLC            Topic: C5517a

    Current farmland scouting methods, mainly including manual scouting and sporadic low-resolution imaging techniques, fail to provide near-real-time, unmanned and precisely-localized detection of biofuel crop stressors, such as herbivores and weeds attacks, ultimately causing significant losses in crop yields up to 50% and leading to overspray of chemicals everywhere. General statement of how this p ...

  9. Miniaturized weather station with rapid switching between precipitation and meteorological measurement modes

    SBC: PARTICLE FLUX ANALYTICS INC            Topic: C5326a

    Scientific research and public service require ground-based measurements of precipitation density, type and rate. But the sought-after accuracy remains elusive and measurements tend to be too sparse to represent high spatial variability or rapidly evolving storms. Existing ground-based weather stations remain bulky and expensive, composed of assemblages of instruments, each dedicated to a specific ...

  10. Portable Nanowire Platform for Quasi Real-Time and Ultrasensitive Detection of Microbes

    SBC: INNOSENSE CORPORATION            Topic: 19a

    In situ detection of microbial activity in submerged soils and aquatic sediments can be labor intensive and technically difficult, especially in dynamic environments where data on microbial status is desired. Current approaches for estimating anaerobic microbial activity involve incubating soil/sediment samples. Sophisticated analytical techniques are currently used which are not convenient and so ...
