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. Production of Environmentally-Acceptable BioLubricants for Hydropower Applications

    SBC: RIKARBON INC            Topic: 15a

    RiKarbon, Inc. will commercialize an enabling technology for the production of Environmentally-Acceptable Lubricants (EALs) from plant matters and natural oils. The produced Bio-Lubricants (BioLubes) with branched architecture, improved properties and durability, and tunable specifications will have a wide range of high-performance applications, e.g., hydropower production, lubrication of engines ...

  2. Integrated Membrane Reactor for Enhancing Thermal & Chemical Reactors

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 06c

    With development of shale gas fracking, large amounts of methane and ethane have now become available at low cost. With this low cost ethane it is desirable to convert low cost ethane to high value ethylene. Oxidative dehydration (ODH) for low cost conversion of ethane to ethylene is a potentially attractive route. ODH is an exothermic process for converting ethane to ethylene. By contrast process ...

  3. Adaptive Weather Resistant Barrier for Building Envelopes to Control Moisture Ingression and Increase Energy Efficiency

    SBC: EA Membranes LLC            Topic: 09a

    Excessive moisture transport into building enclosures can lead to increased energy use as well as mold growth and structural rot when moisture condenses in wall cavities. Currently, architects and builders must use passive membrane products as weather resistant barriers which exhibit a single permeability irrespective of environmental conditions. Membranes with a single high permeability may allow ...

  4. Low-Cost, Plug-and-Play Data Diodes for Solar Equipment Cybersecurity

    SBC: Fend Incorporated            Topic: 12b

    Solar energy operators need real­time situational awareness and the insight of advanced analytics to compete in the energy marketplace. These benefits require increased connectivity, but the threat of distributed cyberattack on control systems is exacerbated by the limited number of vendors supplying millions of solar devices. Firewalls and software­based security are inherently vulnerable to at ...

  5. Silicon Carbide Multilayer Piping for 900 C supercritical sCO2 Brayton Cycle Use

    SBC: CERAMIC TUBULAR PRODUCTS, LLC            Topic: 30f

    In Topic 30.f. DOE requests small business proposals to develop advanced components for energy conversion systems that support supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) Brayton power cycle systems. Such power cycles offer increased conversion efficiency, over 50%, as compared to current systems, and are therefore of interest for advanced high temperature nuclear power plants, as well as for Generation 3 ...

  6. Detection of Micron-Scale Flaws Through Nonlinear Wave-Mixing

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 10c

    Storage of hydrogen is challenging due to high storage pressures and potential for hydrogen embrittlement. Frequent inspections of storage vessels are required to ensure safety but available technologies are unable to detect features on the micrometer scale that can influence remaining useful life. There exists a need for a system that can resolve micrometer scale features and relate these to the ...

  7. A New Pulsed Plasma Technology for Making Micron and Sub-micron Metallic Powders

    SBC: HyperJet Fusion Corporation            Topic: 22b

    Existing methods of producing micron powders for additive manufacturing (3D printing) make use of continuous flow of gas or plasma jets to atomize a metallic melt stream. These methods suffer from producing powders with a broad distribution of powder sizes resulting in low yields for small sizes and thus high cost, because of their fundamental limitations on the velocity shear and ram pressure of ...

  8. Modeling Fractured Shale Networks for Horizontal Well Development

    SBC: Intek Inc.            Topic: 19c

    Development of the Devonian and other shale formations nationwide, by drilling horizontal wells and completing them with water is a commercial success. However, water as the fracturing fluid is undesirable in stimulating gas production from all of the natural fractures penetrated, resulting in poor recovery efficiency and a growing problem associated with high volumes of water demanded and the dis ...

  9. Spacer Grids for Accident-Tolerant Fuel Assemblies

    SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.            Topic: 30b

    Past DOE SBIR programs have shown that accident-tolerant cladding like silicon carbide (SiC) fuel rod cladding can be a durable, less reactive alternative for zirconium alloy cladding for light water reactors. The higher temperature performance and increased safety potential of accident tolerant fuel rod cladding during a loss of coolant accident (LOCA) is expected to both improve the sustainabili ...

  10. Additive Manufacturing of BWR Lower Tie Plates

    SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.            Topic: 30g

    Cost and time associated with material waste, quality control, inspection, and manufacturing of nuclear fuel assembly components can be detrimental to nuclear plant design and development. Specifically, BWR lower tie plates are prime component examples that inherently carry these issues due to their complex geometries and attachment points. The design engineer must always weigh the manufacturing p ...
