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. Control & Data Plane Security of High Performance Networks

    SBC: ANGEL SECURE NETWORKS, INC.            Topic: 41b

    Operating across international borders in cooperation with a multitude of domestic and foreign institutions and scientists, the DOE needs to protect its high performance science networks (such as ESnet and USnet) from destruction by outside adversaries and rogue insiders. This project will develop technology to provide security for ESnet, UNnet, and similar high speed data transfer infrastructures ...

  2. Isolation of Novel Hyper-Thermophiles for Increased Energy Efficiency in Ethanol Production

    SBC: Athena Biotechnologies, Inc.            Topic: 10b

    Bio-ethanol penetration into the marketplace is limited by its cost, making it non-competitive with petroleum-based fuels. Energy consumed during fermentation and distillation steps accounts for 17% of the total cost. Because fermentation is exothermic, the reactor must be cooled to preserve mesophilic microbial viability. Then, the product must then be heated to vaporize the ethanol for purificat ...

  3. Demonstration of Advanced Technology for Surface Processing of Oil Shale

    SBC: Combustion Resources            Topic: 60b

    National attentions have returned to developing fuels from our vast domestic oil shale resource. However, a typical 10,000 bbl/day oil shale plant would release about 3000-4000 tons per day of carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is unlikely that construction permits for commercial oil shale projects will be issued without further technology development to greatly reduce CO2 emissions. This project will ...

  4. Chemically and Thermally Resistant Hollow Fibers as Micro Channel Reactors for Process Intensification

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 10b

    Process intensification methodologies are need for the chemical processes and bioprocesses used in a biorefinery, in order to make the biorefinery a viable commercial alternative to the production of fuels and chemicals. Because the molecular mixing of reactants can enhance reactions, it is a key to process intensification. Significant process inefficiencies can occur (especially with highly react ...

  5. Simulating the Smart Electric Power Grid of the 21st Century

    SBC: Electrocon International Inc.            Topic: 28b

    Electrical power systems routinely experience disturbances or faults. Protective relays and controllers are used to take corrective action by isolating the faulted equipment and stabilizing the system. The analysis and design of these protection and control systems require simulation of the power grid. However, present day simulation tools are relatively simplistic, as they model current protectio ...

  6. High Efficiency Shale Oil Recovery

    SBC: Energy Recovery Technology            Topic: 60b

    U.S. shale oil reserves have been estimated to contain ½ to 4 trillion bbl oil equivalent ¿ an amount comparable to the entire world¿s recoverable petroleum reserves. In the past, shale oil has been unattractive because (1) 100 kg of oil shale may contain about 90 kg inorganic mineral, and (2) an extremely fine dust is generated by oil shale processing. This project continues the development of ...

  7. Degradation-Resistant PEMFC Cathodes with Surfaces in Biaxial Tensile Stress

    SBC: Materials and Systems Research, Inc.            Topic: 09a

    Degradation of the cathode catalyst has been identified as one of the major challenges to achieving the cost and performance targets for Proton Exchange Membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs), for both automotive and stationary power applications. The degradation is manifested in the forms of detachment, agglomeration of particles, Ostwald ripening of particles, migration of Pt away from the cathode, and th ...

  8. Development of a Thermally and Electrically Self-Sustaining Hydrogen Generation System Directly Using Petcoke

    SBC: Materials and Systems Research, Inc.            Topic: 23b

    This project aims to develop an advanced, thermally and electrically self-sustaining hydrogen generation system for small petroleum refineries application. The hydrogen generation system involves the development of a viable means for converting the chemical energy of petcoke to hydrogen at a low cost and high efficiency. The approach involves the development and construction of tubular solid oxide ...

  9. Advanced Coal Research- Sealing Systems for High Temperature SOFC

    SBC: Materials and Systems Research, Inc.            Topic: 04c

    In planar Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) modules, separation of anode and cathode side gases are achieved by hermetic seals. These seals may be rigid, compressive, or compliant. However, the design of improved sealing materials must address two major challenges: (1) mechanical stability of the seals in the face of thermal cycling and (2) chemical stability with respect to the metallic interconnect. ...

  10. Real-Time Optical MEMS-based Seismometer

    SBC: MICHIGAN AEROSPACE CORP            Topic: 46a

    Currently, nuclear tests are monitored by the International Monitoring System (IMS), a network of automated seismic stations that record any evidence of clandestine nuclear explosions. Although geographically extensive and relatively accurate, this system occasionally fails to detect man-made seismic activity. This project will develop a low-cost miniature seismometer based on the latest developme ...
