The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Product Formulation and Process Design for Commercial Production of Soluable Phytosterols

    SBC: AKTIV-DRY            Topic: N/A

    Commercially available products rich in phytosterol may now be used to cut serum low-density lipoprotein by as much as 14 percent. Unfortunately, phytosterols are poorly soluble and therefore present unique problems concerning their ability to suppress cholesterol absorption in the gut. This impediment often leads to sub-optimal dosing and poor performance of phytosterol compounds and restricts th ...

  2. Enhanced Control of Fruit Ripening

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Ethylene is a growth hormone for fruits and vegetables that is generated by the plants themselves; that is, it acts as a self-ripening agent. Hence, the removal of ethylene gas can play a central role in maintaining the freshness of these products. Whereas the temperature and the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide gases are also important system variables that demand a significant economic invest ...

  3. Enhanced Performance of Agriculture Based Biodegradable Hydraulic Fluids

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A. Water must be removed from biodegradable hydraulic fluids as they react with water and degrade insitu. B. Biodegradable hydraulic fluids for farm equipment provide a significant improvement over traditional petroleum based fluids due to decreased pollution. Increase the use and value of biodegradable hydraulic fluids by development of a membrane-based dewatering system.

  4. Agricultural Emissions Reduction Using Bio-Fuels with Membrane Supplied Nitrogen

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The use of biodiesel offers significant advantages with regards to the reduction of total harmful engine emissions with the exception of NOx. Biodiesel is a renewable resource and soybean oil is known to be economically viable as a biodiesel fuel. Recent studies from the Environmental Protection Agency have shown that soybean oil alone or blended with #2 diesel fuel results in a significant decrea ...

  5. Ammonia Point Sensor for Intensive Livestock Operations

    SBC: ELTRON RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT, INCORPORATED            Topic: N/A

    Efficient, cost-effective systems are not currently available for the continuous sensing of dangerous, noxious gases, such as ammonia, in the intensive livestock operation (ILO) environment. Development of these sensors will provide information for the regulation of ventilation and protection of animal and worker health. The purpose of this project is to develop a sensor that will result in increa ...

  6. A Novel Rodent Bait to Control Nutria (Myocastor Coypus)

    SBC: GENESIS LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Nutria have damaged crops, marsh vegetation, and water control structures. The uniqueness of the marsh and coastal habitats is in jeopardy of being so damaged as to make the cost of repair astronomical. We will continue development of a unique buoyant rodenticide to be applied aerially and by hand spot-baiting for the control of nutria in remote and sensitive areas.

  7. Production and Deployment of Photosynthetic Nitrogen-Fixing Biofertilizers

    SBC: Primordial Solutions, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The soils in arid environments of the Western United States are experiencing increasing pressure from mining, energy extraction, ranching, and population. These pressures lead to erosion, landscape degradation, and reduced biodiversity, that is shortly followed by unsustainable environments and degraded economies. The purpose of this project is to examine the factors that promote the reestablishme ...

  8. Low-cost Conversion of High Free Fatty Acid Oils and Fats into Methyl Esters (Biodiesel)

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: N/A

    Existing biodiesel production methods rely on refined vegetable oils and the refining process adds considerable cost to biodiesel product. This project seeks to develop a new biodiesel production processes that can tolerate unrefined oils and fats containing high levels of free fatty acid, thus lowering the cost of biodiesel and utilizing lower-grade vegetable oil and animal fat sources.

  9. Ammonia Gas Sensors for Agricultural Applications

    SBC: SYNKERA TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: N/A

    Animal waste is a substantial source of ammonia. By monitoring and regulating ammonia levels, protection of human and animal health, and increased animal productivity should be realized. Distributed ammonia sensor networks will aid in assessing ammonia emissions from agricultural systems.

  10. CO2 Microsensors for Atmospheric Measurements

    SBC: SYNKERA TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: N/A

    The atmospheric levels of CO2 have been increasing over the past two centuries due to human activities, and presently about three-quarters of the anthropogenic CO2 emissions are due to fossil-fuel combustion. By providing a new, alternative sensor, that is significantly lower cost than, but provides comparable performance to, existing sensors it will open the door for expanded monitoring of the ca ...
