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. Acoustic Internal Automated Concrete Tie Tester

    SBC: NDT CORPORATION            Topic: 23FR1

    NDT Corp. will take the currently developed ACTT system, which can accurately assess the internal condition of concrete crossties and increase its speed.FRA 23-FR1 requests a system that at high speeds can assess both the internal and external condition of concrete crossties.Currently there are systems that can perform the external assessment at the required speeds.However, there is no system that ...

  2. Active Personal Safety System for Train Yard and Road Crewworkers

    SBC: TECHNICAL PRODUCTS INC            Topic: 151FR2

    Locomotives weigh up to 240 ton each. -Rail cars can weigh flom 30 ton (empty) to 140 ton (loaded). Track construction and maintenance equipment, earthmoving plant and haul tiuaks can all weigh l0,s of tons each. When a 200-lb worker 'arguer;' with any of these equipment they lorse. Rail road and yard workers can, literally, be sunounded by these very large, heavy and potentially dangerous pieces ...

  3. Active Seat Belt Tensioning (AST

    SBC: Mide Technology Corporation            Topic: N/A

    In line with the NHTSA¿s desire to encourage the development of restorable vehicle occupant safety systems here in the U.S., Mide is proposing to develop a active seat belt tensioning (AST) device that can control and tailor the rate at which the belt pre-stiffens during a crash, depending on the expected severity of the crash. To do this Mide will develop and integrated system that will take it ...

  4. Active-target muon source for muon-catalyzed fusion

    SBC: NK Labs, LLC            Topic: C

    When a muon encounters a hydrogen atom, it orbits closer to the nucleus than an electron, screening the nuclear charge and facilitating nuclear fusion. Several groups have observed over 100 fusions per muon in cold, dense mixtures of deuterium and tritium. The muon can stick to the alpha particle produced by the fusion reaction, resulting in a probable upper limit of 200 - 500 fusions per muon a ...

  6. A Data-Driven Multi-Perspective Solution for Improving Transit Bus Safety

    SBC: Tranalytics, LLC            Topic: 22FT1

    This research proposes a data-driven and multi-perspective solution to reduce injuries and fatalities due to bus collisions with other vehicles. It goes beyond reviewing historical bus crash reports by collecting field LiDAR data for better understanding a variety of factors that may contribute to bus collisions and injuries/fatalities. It also recognizes that collision avoidance technologies (whi ...

  8. ADVANCED ACOUSTIC EMISSION TECHNIQUES FOR TANK CAR WELD INSPECTION

    SBC: PHYSICAL ACOUSTICS CORP.            Topic: N/A

    ACOUSTIC EMISSION CAN DETECT FLAWS IN TANK CARS WITHOUT REMOVAL OF LINING OR INSULATION. THIS RELATIVELY NEW METHOD HAS ALREADY BEEN USED SUCCESSFULLY ON ABOUT 10,000 CARS. HOWEVER, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SHORTCOMINGS IN THE AREAS OF RELIABILITY AND INTERPRETATON. THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS AND CORRECT THESE SHORTCOMINGS WITH NEW RESEARCH AND REFINED TECHNIQUES FOR THE AE TEST. THE FIRST AREA OF RESE ...

  9. Advanced Wheel/Rail Interaction Force Measurement System

    SBC: FOSTER-MILLER, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Not Available A novel anti-jam GPS antenna concept is proposed that is an alternative to the complex and expensive Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna (CRPA) currently in use. This approach, called the L-CRPA, can utilize installation foot prints as small as a Fixed Reception Pattern Antenna (FRPA) and provide three modes of operation. Mode-1 provides a typical broad-coverage FRPA pattern for si ...

  10. AEROSOL CONCENTRATION BY SPACE CHARGE ATOMIZING ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATOR

    SBC: David Gordon Associates, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    FAA AVIATION SECURITY HAS EXPRESSED A NEED FOR TECHNOLOGIES TO PROVIDE INCREASED SENSITIVITY/RESPONSE TO AIRBORNE FORMS OF EXPLOSIVES. THE TECHNOLOGIES ASSOCIATED WITH SPACE CHARGE ATOMIZING ELECTROSTATIC PRECIPITATION (SCAEP) HAVE CAPABILITIES IN CONCENTRATING THE CONTAMINANTS IN LARGE VOLUMES OF AIR INTO SMALL VOLUMES OF LIQUID WITH INCREASED DETECTION CAPABILITY. AN R & D PROGRAM TO DEFINE CAPT ...
