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. Radiation Shielding and Hydrogen Storage with Multifunctional Carbon

    SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: B309

    This project addresses two vital problems for long-term space travel activities: radiation shielding and hydrogen storage for power and propulsion. While both problems have been studied for many years, there is currently no satisfactory technology for providing adequate non-parasitic shielding. Even in low-Earth orbit, astronauts must be closely monitored for radiation exposure, and some mission ...

  2. Low Cost/Low Noise Variable Pitch Ducted Fan

    SBC: Aerocomposites, Inc.            Topic: T701

    ACI proposes a design for a Propulsor (Low Cost/Low Noise Variable Pitch Ducted Fan) that has wide application in all sectors of Aviation. Propulsor hardware of this low cost design can be integrated with a broad range of aircraft engines (e.g. existing piston engines, automotive derivative piston engines, new design turbine engines) for use in new design aircraft. The proposed Propulsor desig ...

  3. High Burn Rate Hybrid Fuel for Improved Grain Design

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: X601

    A novel type of fuel providing high burning rate for hybrid rocket applications is proposed. This fuel maintains a hydrodynamically rough surface to radically enhance convective heat transfer rate, and hence the fuel burn rate. This is achieved by incorporating a particulate fuel material dispersed within a continuum phase polymer matrix. The dispersed fuel material is chosen to transition f ...

  4. High Transparent Metal Oxide / Polyimide Antistatic Coatings

    SBC: AGILTRON, INC.            Topic: X207

    NASA requires clear antistatic coatings that can withstand exposure to the rigors of the space environment. Agiltron proposes a coating consisting of inorganic conducting particles and space environment resistant polymer that shares the best features of inorganics and organics currently available. Such a coating could potentially be processed by common polymeric routes yet have the optical/electri ...

  5. Lower Profile, Lighter Weight Space Suit Bearings

    SBC: AIR-LOCK, INCORPORATED            Topic: X301

    Air-Lock will deliver a final report based on the follwoing: 1. Historical summary of bearing design evolution throughout the life of the EMU Program 2. Material research to identify lightweight materials best suited for each beairng. 3. Redesign of current EMU bearings to lower bearing profile and mass.

  6. An Instrument for Detecting Protein Expression Under Radiation and Microgravity

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: S405

    An understanding of the basic cellular mechanisms organisms use to cope with extreme environments is important as we search for life in other parts of the universe and seek to adapt terrestrial life beyond earth. Radiation Monitoring Devices, Inc. proposes to build an automated, high-throughput instrument to measure changes in protein expression levels in single living cells during passage in a sp ...

  7. Polarization Imaging Apparatus for Cell and Tissue Imaging and Diagnostics

    SBC: BOSTON APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES, INCORPORATED            Topic: T501

    In recent years there has been an increasing interest in the propagation of polarized light in randomly scattering media. The investigation of backscattered light is of particular interest since most medical applications aimed at the in-vivo characterization of biological tissue rely on backscattered light. By recording the spatially dependent response of a medium to a polarized point source, one ...

  8. Radio Frequency Micro Ion Thruster for Precision Propulsion

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: S301

    Busek proposes to develop radio frequency discharge, gridded micro-ion thruster that produces sub-mN thrust precisely adjustable over a wide dynamic thrust range. Such propulsion is needed to augment and overlap the present micro Newton propulsion such as colloid thruster. The RF was selected to eliminate the internal cathode of the DC discharge ion thrusters. This cathode could be a life limit ...

  9. Micro Resistojet for Small Satellites

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: S104

    Micro-resistojets offer the best combination of simplicity, performance, wet system mass and power consumption for small satellites (

  10. Shared Magnetics Hall Thruster

    SBC: BUSEK CO., INC.            Topic: S102

    In the proposed Phase I program, Busek Co. will demonstrate an innovative methodology for clustering Hall thrusters into a high performance, very high power propulsion system. The concept uses multiple thruster discharge assemblies with a common (shared) magnetic structure. The concept combines the benefits of clustering that include modularity, reliability, reduced beam divergence and throttlea ...
