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. Active-target muon source for muon-catalyzed fusion

    SBC: NK Labs, LLC            Topic: C

    When a muon encounters a hydrogen atom, it orbits closer to the nucleus than an electron, screening the nuclear charge and facilitating nuclear fusion. Several groups have observed over 100 fusions per muon in cold, dense mixtures of deuterium and tritium. The muon can stick to the alpha particle produced by the fusion reaction, resulting in a probable upper limit of 200 - 500 fusions per muon a ...

  2. Sub-One PUE through Silicon Cooling Efficiency

    SBC: JETCOOL TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 1

    To achieve a quantum step in data center efficiency, new thermal management technologies must be coupled to the devices they cool. This proposal seeks to build on recent observations that microconvective cooling not only functions as a high-performance chip cooling technique with the potential for a low PUE, but is also capable of increasing the intrinsic efficiency of the silicon processors them ...

  3. NANOPROTONIC DEVICES FOR > 240× PERFORMANCE ANALOG AI HARDWARE

    SBC: Eva Technology Corp.            Topic: C

    This proposal seeks the development of analog AI training processors with more than 240× performance to push the boundaries of AI without spending billions of dollars to train each new advanced model, or worse, burning down the entire planet. The building blocks of these architectures will be the novel class of nanoprotonic devices with ideal characteristics we will develop here, such that the re ...

  4. CO2 GONE – CO2 Gasification of Ore for Nickel Extraction

    SBC: Phoenix Tailings, Inc.            Topic: 1

    Due to reducing grades of ore available, more energy is required to process energy-relevant minerals than ever before. Adding to the current global instability brought on by the War in Ukraine, nickel metal prices between 2021 to March 2022 have risen 190%. Even if the price lowers to pre-war values, this conflict showcases that reliance on foreign sources of energy-relevant minerals can result i ...

  5. SOTERIA

    SBC: BIOMASON INC.            Topic: NA

    "Biomason’s proposed Soteria effort will eliminate key carbon incorporation elements within current biocement product production streams by: 1) urea substitution, 2) base aggregate mass carbon bundling, and 3) tuning of biocement speciation. In composite, these strategies will yield a carbon negative building material production strategy for cementitious materials that has the potential to suppl ...

  6. DESTRUCTION OF VAM USING A MODULAR CATALYTIC ELEMENT SYSTEM

    SBC: PRECISION COMBUSTION, INC.            Topic: NA

    To eliminate the release of ventilation air methane (VAM) associated with coal production, the core challenge is how to oxidize methane given the low concentrations. Precision Combustion, Inc. (PCI) proposes an innovative modular array combining three key elements: (1) short contact time, low thermal mass reactor design to achieve maximal total conversion in a small volume, (2) catalyst formulati ...

  7. Firebrick Resistance-heated Energy Storage (FIRES)

    SBC: ELECTRIFIED THERMAL SOLUTIONS, INC.            Topic: T

    Electrified Thermal Solutions is developing Firebrick Resistance-heated Energy Storage (FIRES): a new energy storage technology that turns surplus renewable energy into heat. Once stored, you can use the renewable heat to (1) replace fossil fuels in an industrial process such as steel and cement production, or (2) run a turbine to reproduce the renewable electricity, carbon-free and on-demand, at ...
