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. Develop an electrified technology for non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent

    SBC: J-TECH LLC            Topic: 1A

    Septic systems, widely used by >25% of U.S. households, represent a 6-billion-dollar market with a 5-7% projected growth rate. There is growing interest in non-potable reuse of septic tank effluent, yet existing disinfection methods are either costly (e.g., UV) or require households to handle hazardous chemicals (e.g., chlorine tablets). This project will validate a promising septic tank technolog ...

  2. A high-speed, low cost, machine learning enhanced, hyperspectral imaging system for improved identification of microplastics

    SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC            Topic: 1B

    Microplastics are environmental pollutants ubiquitous in marine and freshwater environments and have been established to have deleterious impacts on aquatic life and human health. Preventing Microplastics from getting into waterways or removing it once it is there, is the mission of EPA’s Trash Free Waters program and, as the production of plastics continues to grow, EPA is looking for innovativ ...

  3. SERS for rapid, on-site multicomponent analysis of water quality

    SBC: EIC LABORATORIES, INC.            Topic: 1D

    From pharmaceuticals and stimulants to industrial chemicals like pesticides and plastic components, the number of contaminants in waste, surface, and groundwater is increasing astronomically. As the hazardous limits of some of these toxins are as low as the 1 part-per-trillion (ppt) range, very sensitive analytical techniques are required. A variety of techniques exist, but they are expensive, lab ...

  4. Smart food storage system to enable consumer food waste reduction

    SBC: WISELY, INC.            Topic: 4A

    In the US, an estimated one third of food is wasted at the household level resulting in significant environmental impact—total greenhouse gas emissions of US food waste are estimated to be 70 million MTCO2e. While food waste is generated at all stages of the food supply chain over 50% of all food waste is generated at the consumption stage, the majority of which occurs within households. Often, ...

  5. Water harvesting in cooling towers

    SBC: Infinite Cooling Inc.            Topic: 1A

    We are on the path to an extreme freshwater shortage and one of the US’s largest water consumers is cooling towers used in various applications such as HVAC for large buildings, power plants, data centers, and various industrial processes. In cooling towers, water is evaporated to provide cooling. The vapor is released into the atmosphere and typically forms a visible condensation plume as it mi ...

  6. A compact, modular wastewater treatment system for non-potable reuse of household greywater

    SBC: Triangle Environmental Health Initiative LLC            Topic: 1A

    Triangle Environmental proposes a compact, modular system for rapid, fully-automated treatment of domestic greywater for non-potable onsite reuse. There is an expected 40% global shortfall between supply and demand of water by 2030. The current standard of household water use, in which potable water is used for all applications, is therefore unsustainable. Alternate water sources can be used for a ...

  7. Metal Organic Frameworks for Low‐Cost Radon Mitigation

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 2E

    Exposure to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States, resulting in about 21,000 deaths annually. This exposure is due to accumulation of radon in the soils below homes and subsequent diffusion or convection into our living spaces. TDA Research, Inc., (TDA) proposes to develop a novel low‐cost radon mitigation system, using a state‐of‐the‐art metal‐organic fra ...

  8. Continuous quantitative methane emission monitor with vent discrimination

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: 2F

    The hundreds of thousands oil and gas storage tanks and tank batteries at upstream production sites are inadvertent intermittent, generally unmonitored, high flow rate (flux) methane emitters. Their emission rates are poorly quantified. Flux measurements are inhibited by the difficulty of directly accessing emission sources, instrument limitations, and inability to distinguish between unintentiona ...

  9. Ultrahigh Efficacy Air Purifier for Airborne Pathogens

    SBC: Sonata Scientific            Topic: 3A

    The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened awareness of the role airborne pathogens play in transmitting infection and will leave a legacy of focused attention on indoor air quality for the foreseeable future. Indoor enclosed spaces are high-risk environments for increased transmission of aerosolized pathogens like COVID-19, SARS, influenza, and other yet-to-emerge diseases. Many situations, including o ...

  10. A New Photo‐catalyst Based Air Treatment System to Reduce the Risks from Transmission of Viruses and Bacteria

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 3A

    Treating the air in common, high traffic areas to eliminate biological contaminants (e.g., virus, bacteria, fungus) could reduce the transmission of airborne diseases. UV germicidal irradiation has been shown to inactivate all types of microorganisms including drug‐sensitive and multi‐drug‐resistant bacteria and different viral strains. TDA Research, in collaboration with Arizona State Unive ...
