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. 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- ...

  4. POSITRON PRODUCTION TARGET

    SBC: omega-p r&d, Inc.            Topic: 30e

    A positron production target design is required to convert 100 kW or more of electron beam average power to produce positrons with good beam quality and possibly high polarization- Conventional high power positron targets usually rely on mechanically rotating the target to distribute the heat load- Mechanical complications for a rotating target include limited cooling water flow, vibration, eddy c ...

  5. Excess Electric Power-Driven Conversion of Carbon Dioxide to Chemicals

    SBC: PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC.            Topic: 16c

    Through use excess or off-peak solar and wind electric power our integrated process will enable conversion of CO2 and H2O into drop-in liquid fuel products while exceeding DOE cost and CO2 efficiency goals; this excess power would otherwise result in power curtailment or waste- A major challenge for any process employing variably generation power is its intermittent nature- Wind is much more abund ...

  9. Enhanced Oxidative Dehydrogenation of Ethane with Facilitated Transport Membranes for Low Cost Production of Ethylene

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

    Ethylene demand is expected to increase by 50% domestically and worldwide over the next 5 years with a scramble to increase supply via expansion or grass root facilities. US capacity will remain at about 20% of the world’s supply and exceed 100 BPPY. To meet this challenge, US-DOE has invented a mixed metal oxide catalyst, M1 for the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethane (C2-ODH) to ethylene at hi ...
