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. Advanced Bio-derived Sorbents for CO2 Capture

    SBC: THERMOSOLV LLC            Topic: 18d

    After decades of research into carbon capture methods, we still do not have a favorable option.Current carbon capture technology using aqueous amine scrubbing has found a degree of usage in specific applications, but the drawbacks such as high cost, low capacity, degradation during cycling applications, and its corrosive nature have prevented widespread adoption. One potential solution is the deve ...

  2. Energy-Efficient Carbon Capture Processes with Adsorbents Displaying Non-Traditional Isotherms

    SBC: MOSAIC MATERIALS, INC.            Topic: 18d

    As atmospheric CO2 levels continue to rise, implementation of technologies for point source carbon emission (e.g. flue gas of coal-fired power plants) reductions are necessary for near-term carbon management strategies. Although current aqueous amine scrubbing technologies can achieve high levels of CO2 removal from flue gas, the thermal energy required reduces net plant power output by 20-35%, ma ...

  7. Controllable 3D Manufacturing System

    SBC: POLARONYX INC            Topic: 30g

    Additive manufacturing (AM), esp. laser AM, becomes a powerful tool to replace conventional methods such as casting and hot spray, due to its cost effectiveness and capability of making complex structure and composition. However, there is lack of efficient ways to do pre-, in-, and post process detection of defects, cracks, surface roughness, and alloy composition, to make nuclear quality parts. S ...

  9. Intelligent Solar Energy Devices Cybersecurity System

    SBC: Physical Optics Corporation            Topic: 12b

    Deployment of the smart grid that relies on new intelligent technologies using two-way communications and Internet connectivity increases vulnerability of the grid to potential cyberattacks. Although many cybersecurity (detection or prevention) software tools have been developed, all of them have limitations and, thus, cannot deliver protection against cyberattacks in the smart grid. An advanced c ...
