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. 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. 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 ...

  7. CORE-Military: A Virtual Reality Platform for Emergency Care Training and Assessment in Austere Environments

    SBC: Radiant Images Inc.            Topic: DHA20B001

    In emergency medicine, time is a critical factor that can significantly influence the survival of seriously ill patients. Early recognition of clinical deterioration and rapid initial management is paramount in any setting where emergency care is provided. In military medicine and humanitarian care, delivering high quality and timely care to injured patients poses even greater and more complex cha ...

  8. A Novel Low-Cost, Miniaturized Hydrogen Sensor with High Robustness and Reliability for Continuous Hydrogen Monitoring

    SBC: 4D MAKER, LLC            Topic: 27b

    Hydrogen has been widely used in many applications from aerospace and chemicals to fuel cells and satellite power supply. Although hydrogen is not toxic, it has a very broad flammability range (4%-74% concentration in air and 4%-94% in oxygen), leading to explosion in the presence of heat source. Thus, hydrogen monitoring is of paramount importance during the processes of hydrogen production, tran ...

  9. 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 ...

  10. 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 ...
