Award Data
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.

Non-contact, low-cost, stage and velocity sensors for monitoring urban streamflow
SBC: SUBSURFACE INSIGHTS LLC Topic: C5516bHalf of the world’s population lives in urban watersheds. In order to predict how these watersheds will behave under current and future weather dynamics (e.g. if , how and where flooding would occur due to intense rainfall), we need dense measurements of river stage and river velocity. Current instruments are too expensive to deploy in the quantities needed to provide these dense measurements. A ...

Semiconductor Device Simulation Software with Monte Carlo Based Thermal Transport Modeling
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: C5501bCurrent semiconductor device simulation software adopts Fourier’s law to perform the thermal transport modeling. However, Fourier’s law will become invalid at micro/nano-scale, which can cause a large discrepancy in the thermal and electrical performance between the simulation results and the actual application. To improve the current state-of-the-art, a new semiconductor device simulation sof ...

E4S: Extreme-Scale Scientific Software Stack for Commercial Clouds
SBC: PARATOOLS, INC Topic: C5302bC53-02b-271168The software used in High Performance Computing (HPC) and ArtificialIntelligence/MachineLearning (AI/ML) workloads is increasingly complex to maintain, install, and optimize. More problematic is the poor performance portability of applications between platforms, forcing site-specific re-engineering of codes. Existing solutions to deployment of AI/ML work?ows on commercial cloud envir ...

Engineered Enzymes for Polyurethane Recycling
SBC: Birch Biosciences, LLC Topic: C5331aC53-31a-271169Significant technical innovations are needed to improve the economics of plastic recycling. Plastic recycling rates in the United States have been stagnant for more than a decade: less than 10% of plastics are currently recycled, and only 5.5% of polyurethane plastics are recycled. Plastics have become a major contributor to global warming, as emissions from global plastics productio ...

Rapid and Tunable Cooling Technology for Vacuum Furnaces
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: C4918aC49-18a-271181The need for high-temperature furnaces for neutron scattering experiments has been increasing considerably. One of the major limiting factors of these furnaces is the cooling rate. Currently, the vacuum furnace relies on radiation to dissipate heat and takes at least 2 hours to cool the furnace low enough to safely open for a sample change. This results in significant limitations of ...

A Semantic Search and Predictive Analytical Framework for Improved Air Cargo Screening
SBC: Cignal LLC Topic: DHS231002The ability to navigate complex, dense X-ray images with occluded objects and superposition of potential threats presents a significant challenge for air cargo screeners.Explosive detection and threat interdiction is also challenging due to the varied ways threat actors conceal and disguise illicit activity.These factors work to reduce screening efficiency and throughput, as skids must be broken d ...

SBIR Phase I:A Wearable, Independent, Braille-Assistive Learning Device
SBC: BRAILLEWEAR Topic: HCThe broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is in creating an independent. assistive Braille learning device for blind people. The ability to read Braille is highly correlated with improved independence and quality of life. An estimated 70% of the blind are unemployed yet, of that subpopulation that is Braille literate, only 10% are unemployed. T ...

SBIR Phase I:Advanced multi-locus genome engineering to enable consolidated bioprocessing for the low-cost conversion of lignocellulose to hydrocarbon fuels and products
SBC: Mascoma Corporation Topic: BTThe broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to test an innovative new approach to generating industrially valuable microorganisms. If successful, the new approach will be demonstrated by improving the ability of an engineered bacterium to convert components of biomass into fuel. The benefit of that research will be to help develop a technology that can c ...
