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. Advanced Light Extraction Material for OLED Lighting

    SBC: Pixelligent Technologies, LLC            Topic: 13c

    One of the major hurdles to the commercialization of OLED lighting technology is its low light extraction efficiency when compared to its inorganic LEDs. Currently only 20 30% of the light produced by the OLED can be extracted. In order to be considered as a commercially viable option, OLED lighting efficacy has to improve dramatically. The mismatch between the refractive indices among the active ...

  2. A Nanofluid with Superior Thermal Properties

    SBC: ATEC, Inc.            Topic: 11d

    Many industrial processes in the chemical, petroleum, and pharmaceutical industries involve the transfer of heat from one medium to another. Usually, this transfer occurs within heat exchangers, which use thermal fluids to conduct the heat. However, most thermal fluids have thermal properties that require large heat exchangers or pumps. This project will develop a new class of fluids, PCM nanof ...

  3. A Novel Wireless Sensor Network with Advanced Prognostic Algorithms for Condition Based Maintenance of Critical Power Plant Components

    SBC: Signal Processing, Inc.            Topic: 21

    Improving efficiency, reducing emissions, and reducing costs are key objectives of power plants. The achievement of these objectives will require the development of two mutually dependent functions: distributed data acquisition and real-time data interpretation. This project will combine a wireless sensor network (WSN) with an advanced diagnostic and prognostic capability to monitor and assess ...

  4. Development of an Acoustic Instrument for Bubble Size Distribution Measurement in Mercury

    SBC: DYNAFLOW, INC.            Topic: 09c

    In the Spallation Neutron Source, the mercury in the stainless steel target vessel experiences cavitation due to intense pressure waves produced by the almost instantaneous heating of the mercury following proton impact on the target. To protect the vessel walls from cavitation erosion, helium micro bubbles can be added to the mercury to act as attenuators of the pressure waves and to minimize ca ...

  5. Development of a Numerical Design Tool for SNS Cavitation Mitigation

    SBC: DYNAFLOW, INC.            Topic: 14

    The generation of a strong shock wave in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) can lead to cavitation and significant erosion on the vessel wall containing the liquid mercury target. Based on preliminary numerical and experimental work at various laboratories, it has been proposed that strategies such as inserting a cloud of small gas bubbles or a gas layer in the mercury target could absorb and de ...

  6. Development of a Two-Phase Bubble Generator for SNS Cavitation Mitigation

    SBC: DYNAFLOW, INC.            Topic: 14

    The generation of a strong shock wave in the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) can lead to cavitation and significant erosion on the vessel wall containing the liquid mercury target. Based on preliminary numerical and experimental work at various laboratories, it has been proposed that a cloud of small gas bubbles in the mercury target could absorb and deflect the shock waves and protect the walls ...

  7. Dewatering Membrane for Hazy Hydrodesulfurization Unit Effluents

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 09

    Many refinery product streams, particularly those from Ultra Low Hydrodesulfurisation units, are prone to haze due to water emulsions. Haze is also problematic for biodiesel production, as hazy fuel cannot be used until the haze settles or is removed, which creates costly scheduling and shipping delays. This project will develop a novel membrane process for the removal of dissolved and dispersed ...

  8. Distributed Device Database for Acclerator Control

    SBC: Osprey Distributed Control Systems LLC            Topic: 31

    This project will develop a control system for very large High Energy Physics projects. A de-facto standard in accelerator control is the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS), which has been applied successfully to many physics projects. EPICS is a channel-based system that requires that each channel of each device be configured and controlled. In Phase I, the feasibility of ...

  9. Dynamically Reconfigurable Network Interface Framework

    SBC: Acadia Optronics, Llc            Topic: 44

    As network speeds increase beyond 10 Gb/s, software-based implementations of network functions are unable to keep pace. There exists the need for network interfaces that can be easily reconfigured at the hardware level to provide the user with any desired functionality, from real time intrusion detection to remote visualization. This project will develop a framework for an adaptable Network Inte ...

  10. End-System Control Architectures in E-Science Networks

    SBC: Acadia Optronics, Llc            Topic: 38

    This project will develop software particularly well suited for applications requiring large-scale file transfers, visualization/remote steering, grid computing, and other high-end functionalities on dedicated ultra-high-speed networks. Storage and computing systems are facing growing challenges when inter-connecting across large wide-area network infrastructures. In particular, current technolog ...
