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. Compact Hyperspectral Imager for Crop Water Stress Detection on UAV

    SBC: BODKIN DESIGN & ENGINEERING LLC            Topic: 84

    As drought persists in certain areas of the western U.S., precision farming techniques are being developed to control irrigation as well as pesticide and fertilizer application in order to ensure crop health and conserve resources by preventing over-application. Water stress as well as disease and nutrient stresses of crops can be estimated by measuring optical spectral reflectance off canopies. R ...

  2. Nutrient Removal System

    SBC: REACTIVE INNOVATIONS, LLC            Topic: 84

    In this Phase I SBIR program, Reactive Innovations, LLC (RIL) will demonstrate an advanced system to recover valuable nutrients from animal manure. Since World War II, the availability of relatively cheap mineral fertilizers has been a major factor spurring specialization of production agriculture, in which crop (cereal) production has been increasingly separated from livestock production. One imp ...

  3. Effective Antimicrobial Treatment to Prevent Carcass Contamination

    SBC: GINER INC            Topic: 85

    Many different disease-causing microbes, or pathogens, can contaminate foods and lead to foodborne illnesses. Every year, as many as one in six Americans experiences a foodborne illness, meaning they get sick by consuming contaminated foods or beverages. Pathogen decontamination of meat carcasses to control meat contamination at the start of the meat processing is one of the methods to eliminate d ...

  4. Solar-Efficient Greenhouse with Electricity and Heat Generation

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: 813

    Controlled environment agriculture (CEA) has been used intensively worldwide to produce high quality products. One important issue associated with CEA is that temperature control of the greenhouse is often difficult to achieve, requiring large amount of fuel and/or electric power. Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI), in collaboration with the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, The Uni ...

  5. New Ammonium-free Water Formulation for Fire Retardants for the Management of Wildland Fires

    SBC: Nano Terra, Inc.            Topic: 81

    Wildland fires cost billions of dollars a year in the US, threatening homes, lives, and valuable natural resources. Large amounts of chemical additives, including those in water enhancers, foam fire suppressants, and long-term retardants are used in battling wildland fires to slow the spread of the fire and enable firefighters to work safely on the ground. Millions of gallons of water and hundreds ...

  6. SUBZERO TEMPERATURE STORAGE OF FISH EGGS FOR IMPROVED HATCHERY OPERATIONS

    SBC: Cryoocyte, Inc.            Topic: 87

    Culturing fish today is organized around two key steps: multiplication of fish in the hatcheries and the increase of fish biomass in grow-out production. This transition is more-or-less linear: immediately after spawning eggs get fertilized, develop and hatch, they are grown to the fry/fingerling/smolt stage, and get transferred to grow-out production. This cycle starts with the spawning event, wh ...

  7. Catalytic production of hydrocarbons from biomass

    SBC: Visolis, Inc            Topic: 88

    Conversion of biomass into useful fungible chemicals and fuels is a long standing challenge. A key requirement of such processes is high efficiency of conversion for economic viability. Biomass derived sugars are highly oxygenated and need processing to remove to be converted into useful hydrocarbons.We propose an integrated bio-thermochemical platform for production of a hydrocarbon which can be ...

  8. Emission-free, Low-maintenance and Low-energy Nitrate Water Remediation Using Microbial Fuel Cell Technology

    SBC: Proton Energy Systems, Inc.            Topic: 84

    Fertilizer is required for increasing crop productivity and gives farmers economic viability. However, the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers results in excess nitrate runoff in the ground water, and has the potential to cause significant health problems if consumed in large quantities. There is an increasing body of evidence that nitrate pollution of ground water is a large and growing problem aro ...

  9. Advanced Field-Deployable Monitor of Multiple Pesticides in Water

    SBC: GINER INC            Topic: 84

    Pesticides are among the most widely used toxic chemicals in the world, and are demonstrably dangerous to human health. Their effects can be especially widespread when pesticides enter into drinking water. There are growing demands for field-deployable devices for reliable on-site monitoring of trace pesticides in water at low ppb levels of these compounds. In proposed Phase I program, Giner, Inc. ...

  10. Integrated analytical, visualization, and decision support software for placement of wind turbines by rural residents and small businesses

    SBC: CRILE CARVEY CONSULTING INC            Topic: 86

    Improved materials, innovative/cost-lowering manufacturing, and federal and state incentives guarantee that "small wind" turbines will play an important role in meeting government goals for promoting renewable energy. "Small wind" turbines, defined as having
