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. Forward Osmosis system for treatment of fracking water

    SBC: 2W ITech LLC            Topic: 20e

    Water management is not only crucial to meet the needs of growing population and expanding industrialization, it also significantly affects the future of the water-energy nexus- Large volumes of water produced from the oil and gas operations through horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing present both localized management challenges and potential opportunities for beneficial reuse- Hence, eff ...

  2. Nanoscale IR Spectroscopy System with advanced temperature and Environment Control

    SBC: Anasys Instruments Corp.            Topic: 10a

    Infrared spectroscopy is one of the most commonly used forms of chemical analysis, but its fundamental spatial resolution limit, has prevented it from being widely applied to the field of nanostructured materials- To address this limitation, nanoscale infrared spectroscopy has emerged combining atomic force microscopy and infrared laser sources to provide chemical analysis with nanoscale spatial r ...

  5. Network Measurement and Congestion Analysis

    SBC: CLOSTRA INC            Topic: 02a

    Network operators, within and outside the Federal Government, gather a large amount of data about their networks using sophisticated collection tools- In particular, the Department of Energy operates many heavily- trafficked networks, and has done an excellent job implementing processes and developing applications which collect significant amounts of network measurement data- Unfortunately, data a ...

  6. New Fluorinated Ionomers for Enhanced Oxygen Transport in Fuel Cell Cathodes

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 17a

    Cathodes in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) that run on hydrogen are coated with a thin layer of conductive ionomer- The ionomer facilitates proton conduction to the costly platinum group metal (PGM) catalyst in the cathode, where oxygen reduction and reaction to form water occurs- Higher catalyst efficiency and lower catalyst loadings are desirable for industry PEMFC cost reductions- ...

  7. Stable Facilitated Transport Membranes for C4 Separation

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 17f

    C4 olefins are important petroleum refinery and petrochemical plant products- They are used in a variety of downstream processes, such as the production of alkylate fuel for gasoline- About 65 million metric tons of alkylate fuel is produced globally from C4 olefins- Other downstream products are secondary butyl alcohol, maleic anhydride, and butylene oxide, butyl rubber, and methyl methacrylate, ...

  8. Ultra-High Frame-Rate Pixelated Direct Electron STEM Detector

    SBC: DIRECT ELECTRON, L.P.            Topic: 24a

    Electron microscopy (EM) is the primary method to image biological cellular ultrastructure, though it has not been possible to label and distinguish different kinds of molecules in a single image- This serious limitation has recently been overcome with the technique of selective lanthanide ion tagging and electron energy-loss filtered imaging yielding multi-color EM that is analogous to multi-colo ...

  9. Developing an Automated Uncertainty Quantification Tool to Improve Watershed-Scale Predictions of Water and Nutrient Cycling; Topic/Subtopic: 1c

    SBC: Finsterle, Stefan            Topic: 01c

    Managing the flow of water, nutrients, and contaminants in watersheds is vital to addressing pressing issues related to water scarcity, access to clean drinking water, energy production, resilience to natural and anthropogenic perturbations, and ecological restoration- Decisions about the management of watersheds critically depend on the accuracy with which the flow of water and chemicals through ...

  10. Field-Resilient Acoustic Micro-Emitters for Accurate Cost-Effective Fracture Mapping

    SBC: FLUIDION US Inc            Topic: 20b

    Today’s exploration and production of unconventional fossil fuels can be inefficient due to lack of detailed images of the reservoir, leaving large potential reserves unrecovered- In order to enhance the production and yield of shale resources, it is necessary to map the natural and induced fractures in greater detail and at much higher resolution than what is achievable with today’s state-of- ...
