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. Decarbonized Bio-based 2-Methylfuran Manufacturing in America for Sustainable Domestic Bio-Economy

    SBC: RIKARBON INC            Topic: C5610d

    2-Methylfuran (2MF) is a versatile non-food biomass derived low-carbon number performance advantaged bio-product. It is used for manufacturing green solvent (2-methyltertrahydrofuran (2MeTHF)), UpSycal?oils that RiKarbon is manufacturing for end-use natural and sustainable cosmetics and lubricants, and chemical/pharmaceutical intermediates. Currently fossil-based incumbent solvents such as tetrahy ...

  2. Development of New Metallization Pastes for Front-Side of Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact Crystalline Silicon Solar Cells

    SBC: ADVANCED MATERIAL ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY LLC            Topic: C5615f

    AMA Tech is developing a cutting-edge metallization paste for the front side of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) crystalline silicon solar cells, which is expected to improve TOPCon solar cell efficiency significantly. This development has the potential to disrupt the photovoltaic industry, as even a small increase in cell efficiency could replace current passivated emitter and rear cell ( ...

  3. Torsional Resonator System for the Simultaneous Measurement of Density and Viscosity at High Temperature

    SBC: STF TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: C5512c

    We propose to develop a robust, accurate multi-frequency torsional resonator system for the simultaneous measurement of density and viscosity of molten salts at high temperature. The goal of the project is to develop a stand-alone resonator system that is accurate, precise and robust, and therefore can be used as the basis for a laboratory instrument as well as an on-line process monitoring sensor ...

  4. Upcycling Of Polymer Composites For Vehicle Decarbonization

    SBC: COMPOSITES AUTOMATION LLC            Topic: C5612c

    C56-12c-272445Carbon fiber composites (CFCs) exhibit superior properties and combined with part consolidation, reduce system weight significantly compared to metal approaches. But CFCs have high embodied energy (~230MJ/kg) and the virgin carbon fiber (vCF) feedstock is expensive (>$20/kg). Recycling of CFCs has the potential to recapture the material value at a much lower cost, reduce the embodied ...

  5. DEVELOPMENT OF SECOND USE APPLICATIONS FOR IONOMER MATERIALS RECOVERED FROM HYDROGEN ECONOMY SYSTEMS

    SBC: ION POWER, INC            Topic: C5611a

    Perfluorosulfonic acid (PFSA) polymers are the primary membrane material used in the manufacturing of water electrolyzers and fuel cells for the hydrogen economy. The discarding of these materials, especially when they are combined with precious metals, presents an unwanted introduction of these materials into the environment. Thus, the opportunity being addressed by this SBIR proposal is the deve ...

  6. 34f- Diamond detector system for ion-beam diagnostics

    SBC: Applied Diamond, Inc.            Topic: C5334f

    Heavy-ion beams are used extensively in nuclear physics research advancing a deeper understanding of atomic nuclei and nuclear reactions, as well as in production of rare isotope finding a wide acceptance in nuclear medicine. Currently, most charged-particle detectors used in nuclear physics and space exploration are made of ?E-E radiation telescopes. However, most common solid state silicon radia ...

  7. Fast, Large-Area Detector for Position and Energy Determination

    SBC: Applied Diamond, Inc.            Topic: C5138b

    To study nuclei and nuclear reactions, scientists collide stable and rare isotope heavy-ion beams like those generated at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University into targets of various elements and measure the resulting complex nuclear fragments of these collisions. The data collected from these nuclear reactions can provide information for research endeavors such as nuclear structure, nu ...

  8. Asynchronous Heterogeneous Distributed Tensor Communication

    SBC: EXTREME SCALE SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: C5107b

    Large-scale data-intensive linear algebra operations are hard to scale on distributed, heterogeneous systems. Further, the data distribution across machines makes it very difficult to compose implementations as each has their own requirements. A linear algebra abstraction is needed to compose implementations. There are many use cases for such an abstraction. We will focus on simulation of differen ...

  9. Sustainable Cellulosic Base-Oils

    SBC: RIKARBON INC            Topic: C5128b

    The global lubricant market size is ~$158 billion. Base-oils constitute the major component in formulated lubricants, which have uses in automotive, process oils, metal-working, marine, mining, locomotive, chainsaw, golf cart, hydraulic fluids, grease and other consumer and industrial sectors. ~97% of current base oils are petroleum derived. Their accidental release to the environment poses a sign ...

  10. Sustainable Cellulosic Base-Oils

    SBC: RIKARBON INC            Topic: 28b

    Accidentally released lubricants into water bodies from marine applications, off-shore turbines, hydropower production turbines and other non-commercial marine applications challenge safe water recycling and management, and has invited a number of lawsuits. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, up to 16 million gallons of lubricants per year  equating to 1.5 times the size of the Ex ...
