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. A Visibility Risk-Assessment Tool for Maritime Operations

    SBC: APPLIED OCEAN SCIENCES, LLC            Topic: 93

    Fog and smog reduce visibility at sea, greatly impacting ship navigation and safety. Low visibility marine conditions decrease speed and safety of commercial fleets and increase costs through poor fuel load planning. The COVID-19 pandemic underscored the importance of maritime operations to the supply chain; therefore, decreasing associated cost and risk are of the utmost importance. Applied Ocean ...

  2. EXCLAIM: a Decision Support Toolkit to Mitigate Impacts of Cascading Climate Hazards

    SBC: METRON INCORPORATED            Topic: 91

    "Metron proposes to develop user-friendly software to promote understanding of impacts due to cascading climate hazards and extreme weather events, in collaboration with George Mason University (GMU). Climate and extreme weather (CEW) hazards pose significant risks to life and property. As extreme events become more prevalent, risks associated with cascading, compound events come to the fore, such ...

  3. Machine Learning and ocean variables for improved predictions of water availability in the US

    SBC: SALIENT PREDICTIONS INC            Topic: 94

    Salient Predictions Inc. proposes to develop new technology for accurate subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) water availability forecasts so that communities may manage water resources in preparation for hazardous events like floods and droughts. Current hydrological models face challenges related to data inputs, as climate change has been presenting weather patterns atypical from historical data. Witho ...

  4. Smokesonde: Low cost in-situ sampling of smoke and convective storm intensity supporting fire weather and incident meteorology

    SBC: YANKEE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 91

    We propose to develop in-situ low cost sensors to support fire meteorology for wildland fire emergency response, by blanketing the fire area with real time measurements. Sensors can be air-deployed to provide vertical atmospheric measurement profiles or hand-emplaced for augmenting existing surface fire weather stations. Each telemeters precision measurements of air temperature, solar radiation, i ...

  5. Novel probes for real time monitoring of dissolved gases and their isotopologues in aquatic ecosystems

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: 93

    Ocean ecosystems are critical to the regulation of Earth’s climate and biodiversity, while also hosting a range of direct and indirect benefits to people, from being a food source to recreation. Coastal ocean systems are dynamic regions especially rich in diverse biological and geochemical interactions. However, major gaps exist in our knowledge of the primary biogeochemical processes and the fa ...

  6. In Situ and Point of Sale Quantification of Human Pathogens Associated with Aquaculture and Shellfish Farming Using Novel Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

    SBC: COASTALOCEANVISION, INC            Topic: 93

    There is a dire need for technology to rapidly and accurately detect and quantify Escherichia coli serotypes 0157:H7 and K12 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus and total fecal coliforms. In Phase I we developed a novel approach to Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for detecting human pathogens in cultured bacteria, mixtures of organisms and in oyster tissue. Our approach uses a higher energy las ...

  7. Participatory Sensor Networks for Marine Navigation

    SBC: CELL MATRIX CORPORATION            Topic: 95

    The primary objective of this project is to improve awareness, safety and enjoyment for mariners in coastal and inland waters by the creation of a participatory sensor network (PSN) that facilitates sharing of marine observations with other mariners. We are adding a new degree of temporal fidelity to nautical charts and maps. The approach leverages volunteered geographic information to augment con ...

  9. Developing and testing ropeless fishing gear with inshore lobstermen while focusing on speed, cost, and safety

    SBC: LOBSTERLIFT LLC            Topic: 93

    LobsterLift is a ropeless fishing device that will enable lobstermen to continue to use their lobster trap- fishing gear without requiring the traditional vertical ropes that endanger the North Atlantic right whale (NARW), a species on the brink of extinction. We are seeking a 6-month research grant for $150,000 that will enable LobsterLift LLC to conduct feasibility research, product development, ...

  10. HABSSED: Harmful Algal Bloom Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA

    SBC: ELDER RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 92

    Harmful algal blooms (HABs) represent a significant problem for the Blue Economy, adversely affecting drinking water, commercial fisheries, water recreation, and tourism. Early detection of HABs is crucial in mitigating their effects. We propose to continue our development of HABSSED (Harmful Algal Bloom Surveillance by Sequencing of Environmental DNA) into the prototyping phase. The HABSSED pipel ...
