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. US FLAG COASTAL RO/RO SHIPS; APPLICATION OF CASSETTE TECHNOLOGY

    SBC: Advanced Marine Enterprises,            Topic: N/A

    THIS STUDY WILL EVALUATE THE RANGE OF SHIP SIZES AND POWER LEVELS (SPEEDS) TO DETERMINE THE OPTIMUM SHIP CHARACTERISTICS FOR OPERATING U.S. FLAG RO/RO SHIPS IN U.S. COASTAL SERVICE. RO/RO CARGO HANDLING TECHNIQUES PREVALENT IN EUROPE AND SCANDINAVIA WILL BE INCORPORATED AS A FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENT OF THE SERIES OF SHIPS INVESTIGATED. THESE TECHNIQUES INVOLVE THE USE OF CASSETTES TO HANDLE CONTAINERS ...

  3. Non-contact Track Gage Measurement System (NC-TGMS)

    SBC: DFUZION, INC.            Topic: 081FR4

    One of the causes of derailments occurs when the track gage is no longer compliant with the FRA track safety standards for gage measurments. Ensuring track gage is in compliance with the FRA track safety standards is therefore of paramount importance to the FRA. Currently, the FRA wishes to develop a non-contact track gage measurement system that overcomes the limitations of current systems (unr ...

  4. Portable Active Thermographic Coating Inspection System

    SBC: Fuchs Consulting Inc            Topic: 091FH2

    This proposal seeks to produce a unique thermographic coating inspection system that is customized for the inspection of bridge coatings. This system uses active thermography where IR sources are used to provide controlled heating to a coating system. The presence of a defect in a coating system will result in differences in heat flow, which can be imaged with an infrared camera. An off-the-she ...

  5. Roadway Waste Heat Electricity Production Using Impoved Roadway Paving Technologies

    SBC: Planphoria LLC            Topic: 091FH5

    Planphoria will research, define and develp methods to turn our nation's roadways into a giant energy collection and transference system that produces low cost electrical energy close to point of use. Though roadway environmental conditions change, and different roadway requirements vastly differ from the requirements of other roadways, we will determine the feasibility of this concept by leading ...

  7. AN ULTRA-HIGH PRECISION POSITIONING AND BATHYMETRIC SURVEYING SYSTEMS

    SBC: Marisys, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT REQUIREMENT FOR BATHYMETRIC INFORMATION WITH ENOUGH PRECISION IN THE VERTICAL AXIS (ELEVATION) TO ASSES LONG TERM PROCESSES SUCH AS SCOUR, SILTING, SUBSIDENCE AND OTHER SUBTLE FLUCTUATIONS I BOTTOM TOPOGRAPHY. PRODUCING HIGHLY ACCURATE BATHYMETRIC SURVEYS IS COSTLY AND ERROR PRONE. MODERN SURVEY SYSTEMS CAN PRODUCE RESULTS ACCURATE TO WITHIN A FEW DECIMETERS IN THE HORIZONTA ...

  8. A PILOTING ADVISOR BASED UPON COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE AND ECDIS TECHNOLOGY

    SBC: Marisys, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    INLAND WATERWAYS AND TERMINAL FACILITIES ARE BECOMING MORE AND MORE CONGESTED, RESULTING IN INCREASED RISKS OF COLLISIONS AND GROUNDINGS. DUE TO ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS IT IS GENERALLY NOT FEASIBLE TO EXPAND WATERWAYS OR TERMINALS IN CURRENTLY CONGESTED AREAS. ONE WAY TO MEET THE DEMAND FOR INCREASED SHIPPING TONNAGE IS TO IMPROVE THE PRECISION OF PILOTING COMMERCIAL VESSELS. ELE ...

  9. ACOUSTIC DETECTION OF AXLES

    SBC: PLANNING SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PHASE I RESEARCH IS TO DETERMINE THE FEASIBILITY OF UTILIZING ACOUSTIC RADIATION FROM VEHICLE TIRES TO PROVIDE A LOW COST, EASY TO DEPLOY, UNOBTRUSIVE, RELAIBLE REPLACEMENT FOR THE CURRENT METHOD OF COLLECTING VEHICLE AXLE PASSAGE DATA. THE PROPOSED METHOD WILL CROSS-CORRELATE THE TIRE NOISE RECEIVED AT SPATIALLY SEPARATED MICROPHONES TO LOCATE AXLE CROSSINGS. THE PROCESSING ...
