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. Ultramafic Tailings Leaching and Lateritization with Electrolytic Acid Recycling for Critical Metal Recovery and Enhanced Mineral Carbonation

    SBC: Travertine Technologies, Inc.            Topic: 1

    Ultramafic rocks host two resources that are key to avoiding catastrophic climate warming: (1) elements essential for mineral carbonation with gigatonne-scale carbon dioxide removal and sequestration (CDRS) potential, and (2) first-row transition elements including nickel and cobalt that are critical for the renewable energy transition. These elements are chemically bound within solid mineral phas ...

  2. Micro-Scale, High-Accuracy, Photogrammetry Equipment (MSHAPE)

    SBC: ADA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 21FR2

    ADA Technologies is proposing to develop a novel and unique system, called MSHAPE, to inspect railroad wheels in extremely fine geometric detail. This portable system, based on off-the-shelf components, will provide manufacturers, operators, maintainers and authorities ultra-high-accuracy measurements (better than .0005”) that will be used to assess the compliance of wheels with strict regulator ...

  4. Lightweight, High-power Density, Self-protecting Superconducting Power Cables and Connectors for Electric Aircraft Applications

    SBC: ADVANCED CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: Q

    The proposed program would develop 2-pole high-temperature superconducting dc power cables and connectors with a power rating of up to 50 MW that would enable twin-aisle aircraft with distributed electric propulsion in an effort to reduce carbon emissions of large passenger aircraft. The cables and connectors will contain dielectrics that are independent of the cryogenic medium used as coolant and ...

  5. Ballast Seismic Property Analyzer (BSPA) for Railway Substructure Modulus and Assessments

    SBC: Earth Science System LLC            Topic: 190FR1

    This project involves building and demonstrating a wireless seismic system for assessing the condition of railroad ballast.The system is designed for portability and ease of use by non-specialized personnel. It is based on the well-known multi-channel analysis of surface waves (MASW) method. The system consists of a seismic source and an array of receivers. The source will be empirically optimized ...

  6. Ocean Color and Cloud Monitor (OCCAM)

    SBC: ATMOSPHERIC & SPACE TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH ASSOCIATES LLC            Topic: 9601

    The Ocean Color and Cloud Monitor (OCCaM) is a hyperspectral based instrument suite with ocean color and cloud observational capabilities. Following the successful Phase I SBIR design period, the Phase II effort will focus on the integration of the Phase I design into a benchtop unit for testing and validation of the design concept. The payload was designed to meet the SWaP requirements of a comme ...

  7. A Low-Cost Atmospheric Aerosol Monitoring System for Boundary Layer Air Quality, Visibility, Cloud Ceiling Height and Aerosol Properties

    SBC: BJE ENVIRONMENTAL OPTICS LLC            Topic: 9601

    This proposal addresses subtopic 9.6.01, Low-cost Oceanic and Atmospheric Sensors and Observing Systems. It is proposed that two instruments for measuring atmospheric aerosols be commercialized to operate automatically and routinely. Both instruments have been used in research settings for many years and share several aspects of technology. They could both be commercialized with significant advant ...

  8. Enabling BLOS UAS Operations through a Diverse-Source Global Positioning System

    SBC: BLACK SWIFT TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 9501

    Enabling BLOS operations in the National Airspace System is largely an issue of improved sensing. Under the UTM rules, BLOS operations require performance authorization from the FAA centered around navigation, communications, sharing of intent, avoiding other aircraft, and connecting to the FAA in near real-time. The current plan initially is for these performance metrics to be evaluated by the FA ...

  9. Optimization of high resolution multispectral satellite imagery collection for Arctic conditions through custom sensor parameterization and multi-sensor integration for through-the-water space-based seafloor imaging in support of coastal hydrographic surv

    SBC: TCARTA MARINE LLC            Topic: 9603

    A long time ago before GPS, satellites and multibeam sonars one Old Man and the Sea thought, “It is better to be lucky. But I would rather be exact. Then when luck comes you are ready.” There is no room for luck when conducting hydrographic surveying in Arctic coastal waters. Satellites can play a key role in operational efficiency, cost effective use of existing technology and risk reduction. ...

  10. Transformation of carbon emissions to high-value products through a two-step electrochemical platform

    SBC: LECTROLYST LLC            Topic: G

    Carbon dioxide utilization can help reduce carbon emissions, but gaps remain in the value chain from initial capture to high-value products. Lectrolyst LLC will develop an electrochemical platform centered on selective two-step conversion of CO2 to acetic acid and ethylene, to fill this need. Preliminary life cycle assessment and techno-economic analyses indicate ~200 million metric tons of CO2 em ...
