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. Active Material Technology to Improve Solar Sail Performance for Space Weather Monitoring

    SBC: NEXOLVE HOLDING CO LLC            Topic: 96

    Development of a reflection control and direction device (RCDD) is proposed. This innovative device will progress the state of the art for propulsion of solar sails used to fly space weather monitoring sensors to sub-LaGrange point orbits for earlier warning times of impending destructive space weather events. A reflection control device (RCD) utilizes polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mater ...

  2. Developing the Drought Risk Overview Product (DROP): Improving Flash Drought Forecasts and Early Warning Using Machine Learning and Extreme Value Theory Techniques

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: 91

    Drought is responsible for $327.7B in economic loss since 1980 in the United States and typically precedes, cooccurs, or initiates other hazards like wildfires or prolonged periods of intense heat. The compounding or cascading of these hazards routinely threatens the wellbeing and stability of communities. The economic impact from drought can be especially harsh when the drought begins rapidly in ...

  3. Seaweed-based bioplastic replacement for commercial lobster fishing gear.

    SBC: VIABLE GEAR LLC            Topic: 93

    Viable Gear will provide proof-of-concept for a seaweed-based bioplastic to be used in manufacturing a compostable biotwine for marine equipment, designed to replace petroleum-based plastics. This addresses NOM-SBIR research topic area 9.3, The Changing Ocean - specifically to "support increased protection and restoration of marine and coastal habitats to enhance vital ecosystems", by helping decr ...

  4. MONET: Modeling non-Objects and Novelty for Efficient Training

    SBC: KITWARE INC            Topic: OSD221003

    Object detection datasets for overhead imagery are typically generated using bootstrapping methods to reduce annotator effort and cost. These methods iteratively train a detector from a limited set of user-provided and model-predicted labels. Such approaches bias detectors toward the initial object set, limiting their capacity to handle object variations or discover novel objects classes. MONET ov ...

  5. Multi-Task Scale Aware Continuous and Localizable Embeddings

    SBC: KITWARE INC            Topic: OSD22A001

    NGA uses deep networks for many tasks including image registration, land cover segmentation, and object detection. Current deep learning approaches develop specialist networks for each task and type of data. Not only is this inefficient, because networks can’t be reused across tasks, this approach ignores correlations between tasks and data sources that can improve performance. In response, we w ...

  6. Development and evaluation of peroxide free fin-fish nursery feeds with active DHA-synthase enzyme (DSe)

    SBC: FPN LLC            Topic: 93

    The marine microalgae Crypthecodinium cohnii (C. cohnii) contains high levels of DHA and DHA synthase enzyme (DSe) both of which may provide nutritional benefits to finfish for human consumption. Field Phyto-Nutrients LLC has developed a process for algae-based feed preparation where the algae is dried under low temperature (

  7. Sustainable seed production for North Atlantic kelp aquaculture

    SBC: Ocean's Balance Inc            Topic: 93

    Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, only 1% is met with domestic production. Expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Current kelp aquaculture methods rely on harvested reproductive tissue, which is not sustainable. In response to NOAA Topic 9.3, Health ...

  8. Measuring Stormwater Overflow with Synthetic Aperture Radar

    SBC: WOLVERINE RADAR COMPANY            Topic: 93

    Many municipalities in the United States have begun to use impermeability measurements to incentivize storm water retention as part of the architectural and landscaping design process. These measurements are performed through analysis of high-resolution aerial photography and updated on an annual or semi-annual basis. The practice of using high resolution aerial or even satellite photography is pr ...

  9. Sea and Observe: Littoral Foundations of Structured Understanding and Iterative Discovery for Image Detection, Identification and Annotation

    SBC: EH GROUP INC            Topic: NGA203005

    This proposal addresses the algorithm research and development of structure and iterative discovery for image detection, identification, annotation, and understanding. Our approach is inspired from the ability of humans to encapsulate and develop mental models and the ability of AI to algorithmically learn and contribute to the identification of features, textures, and salient and camouflaged char ...

  10. Algorithm Performance Evaluation with Low Sample Size

    SBC: SIGNATURE RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: NGA20C001

    The team of Signature Research, Inc. and Michigan Technological University will develop and demonstrate methods and metrics to evaluate the performance of machine learning-based computer vision algorithms with low numbers of samples of labeled EO imagery. We will use the existing xView panchromatic dataset to demonstrate a proof-of-concept set of tools. If successful, in Phase II, we will extend t ...
