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. Unified In-Space Propulsion Framework for Prediction of Plume-Induced Spacecraft Environments

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: T102

    Chemical contamination of spacecraft components as well as thermal and force loading from firing liquid propellant thrusters are critical concerns for in-space propulsion applications. Gas molecular contamination and liquid droplet deposition due to incomplete combustion threaten to damage surface materials, sensitive instruments and optical sensors, and poses major risks for mission success. Liqu ...

  2. Smartphone Application for Mask Sizing and Projecting Quantitative Fit

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: CBD161005

    Typical procedures for respirator masks sizing and protective fit test are time-consuming and user intensive, requiring taking anthropometricmeasurements of the wearer, sampling the wearers breathing zone and the use of specialized tools and equipment. The proposed softwareapp aims to quickly, accurately and automatically perform respirator mask sizing and predict protective fit using only 2D imag ...

  3. Producing Novel Biosynthetic Therapeutics from Extreme Microbiomes

    SBC: iXpressGenes, Inc.            Topic: CBD152004

    This project is a unique metagenomic evaluation of under-studied extremophilic microbiome natural products (NPs), with the goal of discovering novel antibiotic biowarfare agent (BWA) countermeasures. A metagenomic biosynthetic gene cluster library from extremophilic sources was created, sequenced, analyzed, and exploited to produce several broad-spectrum antibiotic extracts during the Phase I effo ...

  4. Robust Prediction of High Lift Using Surface Vorticity

    SBC: RESEARCH IN FLIGHT LLC            Topic: A105

    FlightStream has been developed a fast, accurate, aerodynamic prediction code based on vorticity computations on the surface of an aircraft. The code, though still a surface paneling algorithm, has proven to be significantly more robust and computationally efficient. FlightStream uses CAD or an unstructured surface mesh and is adaptable to subpanels varying in vertex valence from triangles to surf ...

  5. Joining of Tungsten Cermet Nuclear Fuel

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: H202

    Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) has been identified as a critical technology needed for human missions to Mars and beyond due to its increased specific impulse (Isp) as compared to traditional chemical propulsion systems. Recently, the Game Changing Development (GCD) Program, which is a partnership between NASA, DOE, and industry, was initiated to evaluate the feasibility of a low enriched urani ...

  6. A High Efficiency Cryocooler for In-Space Cryogenic Propellant Storage

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: H204

    NASA is considering multiple missions involving long-term cryogen storage in space. Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen are the typical cryogens as they provide the highest specific impulse of practical chemical propellants. These cryogens are stored at temperatures of nominally 20 K for hydrogen and 90 K for oxygen. Due to the large size of these tanks, refrigeration loads to maintain zero-boil- ...

  7. Megapixel Longwave Infrared SLS FPAs for High Spatial Resolution Earth Observing Missions

    SBC: QMAGIQ LLC            Topic: S103

    Earth observing missions like NASA's LANDSAT Data Continuity Mission - Thermal Infrared Sensor (LDCM-TIRS) require greater spatial resolution of the earth than the ~ 100m provided by the current instrument. Improving resolution to the desired ~ 30m requires increasing the number of pixels on target from the current 640x3 to ~ 2048x3. The TIRS instrument contains 640x512 longwave infrared quantum ...

  8. A 10 K Multistage Cryocooler with Very Low Vibration

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: S109

    Advanced space borne instruments require cooling at temperatures of 10 K and below. Potential missions include the Origin Space Telescope and the Superconducting Gravity Gradiometer. Cooling loads for these detectors will range from 50 mW to 500 mW at the primary load site, with additional loads at higher temperatures for other subsystems. Due to jitter requirements, a cryocooler with very low ...

  9. Green Monopropellant Propulsion for Small Spacecrafts

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: S302

    One of the biggest obstacles preventing the widespread implementation of small satellites is the process of actually getting them into space. Current methods include hitching rides as secondary payloads. Although this initiative has provided significant new launch capacity for CubeSat-class spacecraft, it is not without issues, most specifically limited orbits and orbital lifetime. Many missions n ...

  10. Development of Diamond Vacuum Differential Amplifier for Harsh Environment Power Electronics

    SBC: SCIENTIC INC            Topic: S303

    In this proposed Phase II, Scientic and Vanderbilt University will develop a novel vacuum field emission differential amplifier (VFEDA) using low electron affinity nanodiamond (ND) material as electron emitters for high-power electronic application in harsh environments. The ND-VFEDA is a fundamental circuit building block for vacuum integrated circuits (VICs) ideally suited for high radiation and ...
