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. Dielectrophoresis-Enhanced Capture of Metal Cations in Produced Water

    SBC: SCION PLASMA LLC            Topic: C5628b

    Approximately 21 billion barrels of produced water are generated each year in the United States. A lot of produced waters contain significant concentrations of sodium, magnesium, calcium, and other cations. A sufficient treatment will not only harvest the metals, but also provide freshwater for irrigation, municipal demands, mining, livestock, and manufacturing. The currently mature technologies f ...

  2. Scalable High-density Superconducting Flex Cables and Circuits

    SBC: NIELSON SCIENTIFIC LLC            Topic: C5637c

    There is a growing need for a commercially available high-density superconducting flex cable for a variety of ultra-sensitive, high pixel count instruments/focal plane arrays for the study of space as well as quantum computing and quantum information processing. However, traditional flex circuit manufacturing techniques and tools cannot achieve the high channel density necessary for these customer ...

  3. Li-ion Batteries with 3-D Structured Anodes to Minimize Inactive Materials and Improve Safety

    SBC: ARBOR BATTERIES LLC            Topic: C5612a

    In order to accelerate widespread electric vehicle adoption, improving battery energy densities, charge rates, manufacturing costs, and safety is imperative. Herein, we propose a scalable manufacturing process to improve LIB cell design using 3-D electrode architectures which will minimize inactive material (30% decrease) leading to a 15% increase in cell energy density (330 Wh/kg) and a 10% decre ...

  4. Design and prototyping of a novel lightweight wave energy converter (WEC) for marine energy harvesting and self-powered marine monitoring

    SBC: 4D MAKER, LLC            Topic: C5614d

    This project will develop and prototype a new class of lightweight, high-performance wave energy converters for short-duration deployment and installation in smaller-scale applications. It is anticipated that the size of the wave energy converter will be in meter or submeter scale, the weight is in kilogram level or less, while the output power will be 5~10 W/m3 or 50~100 mW/kg. The novel energy h ...

  5. High-efficiency Continuous Electrolysis of Iron Ore for Carbon-Emission-Free Iron Production

    SBC: STORAGENERGY TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: C5619c

    Iron (Fe) & steel production accounts for 7% of total industry CO2 emission. Currently, blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) route produces 71% of global crude steel production. However, this process uses carbon (usually coke) as the reductant, which binds with oxygen in Fe ore and generates CO2. Direction reduction of ore (DRI) routes reduces Fe ore to sponge Fe via a solid-state process u ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Next Generation Diamond Materials for High-Resolution Quantum Sensors

    SBC: GREAT LAKES CRYSTAL TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: C5319a

    High quality color centers have been demonstrated at the laboratory level to support a number of exciting quantum technology applications in quantum information and optics, navigation and geoscience probes, and nano-sensing in condensed-matter physics, yet a manufacturable process for creating such color centers has yet to be developed. In the crystalline diamond material system, nitrogen vacancy ...

  9. Split Laser Sensor for Harsh Environment Sensing Applications

    SBC: INNOSYS, INC.            Topic: C5324a

    There is a significant need for lower cost and reliable sensors to continuously monitor indoor and outdoor environmental quality. Such monitoring is critical for evaluating the state and integrity of natural and man-made systems, including groundwater, atmosphere, vadose zone/soil composition, and a variety of emission sources including volcanoes, industrial sites, landfills, oil/gas production. E ...

  10. Next Generation Diamond Drumhead X-Ray Optics

    SBC: GREAT LAKES CRYSTAL TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: C5308a

    Future high-impact scientific applications at synchrotron and Free-Electron Laser (FEL) X-ray sources require the development of processing and mounting methods for ultra-thin diamond crystals to meet the most challenging needs of pioneering research at next generation light source facilities. These methods should be capable of manufacturing crystal plates as thin as 10 micrometers over an area of ...
