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. PULSE Portable Usability Lab for System Evaluation

    SBC: APTIMA INC            Topic: HSB0102005

    Usability greatly affects the acceptability, affordability, and overall success of technology. However, the resources that are typically required to ensure usability are substantial, and failing to do so will degrade a system`s ability to support the user`s mission, decrease the perceived value of the technology, and reduce the number of future transition opportunities. Aptima`s Portable Usability ...

  2. Canine training aids for HMTD detection

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: HSB0102004

    Physical Sciences, Inc. (PSI), proposes to prepare a new class of training aids to be used for canine detection of HMTD. These training aids are expected to incorporate the components of non-energetic off-gas from genuine HMTD. By using an HMTD headspace proxy, it will be possible to present canines with a training aid that does not carry with it the handling, disposal and other concerns associate ...

  3. Electrospray Based High Vacuum Diffusion Pump for Mass Spectrometers

    SBC: CONNECTICUT ANALYTICAL CORPORATION            Topic: HSB0102002

    Mass spectrometers necessitate a partial pressure zone to allow for the process of mass characterization of the analyte under consideration. The reasons for transforming neutral molecules into charged ions include (1) the ability to control the trajectories and destinations of charged species by appropriate combinations of electric and magnetic fields and (2) detectability that is generally much g ...

  4. Electrospray Stand-off Detection of Trace Species in Air of Currency

    SBC: CONNECTICUT ANALYTICAL CORPORATION            Topic: HSB0102001

    To detect and identify vapors of contraband currency, not to mention a selection mode for explosives, narcotics, chemical warfare agents, biological threats or other analyte species at trace levels in air, is an important problem with many ramifications. One widely used approach is based on transforming the molecules of those species into gas phase ions, which are then characterized by measurement ...

  5. Use of X-ray Backscatter Imaging to Screen General Aviation Aircraft

    SBC: American Science and Engineering, Inc.            Topic: HSB092001

    In this Phase II effort, American Science & Engineering, Inc. (AS&E) will design, fabricate, test and deliver a mobile X-ray Backscatter one-sided imaging system suitable for examining general aviation aircraft for the presence of weapons, contraband or other proscribed items. The system employs a high resolution X-ray Backscatter imaging module mounted on an omni-directional host platform, provid ...

  6. Magnetically Switchable Explosives Vapor Isolator

    SBC: TRITON SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: HSB0101004

    The proposed work details a Magnetically Switchable Explosives Vapor isolator which can be coupled to a wide variety of detection techniques. The Isolator works by initially isolating explosives from a vapor stream through a biologically analogous technique. When requested, the concentrated molecules are released to the detector through a magnetic switching mechanism. The proposed approach would a ...

  7. Precision Information Environment for Collaborative Emergency Support (PIECES)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: HSB0101003

    Decision makers responding to homeland security incidents must rapidly integrate and manage dynamic, time-sensitive information from a large number of heterogeneous and multimodal information sources accessed through a variety of software applications, all while collaborating in real-time as efficiently as possible. To address these issues, we propose to design and evaluate a Precision Information ...

  8. Modeling of Iris Structure for Homeland Security Applications (MISHA)

    SBC: Retrobids            Topic: HSB0101005

    We propose to develop a physics-based framework for modeling iris texture, image acquisition conditions (in the broad sense) and other real-world effects related to iris biometrics. The framework is coupled to a special statistical procedure that allows generation of large-scale samples of iris images representative of a desired ethnic group. Our approach is based on the physics-based iris modelin ...

  9. Aptamer-SPR technique and device for high sensitivity and high specificity of explosives detection (ASPRED)

    SBC: Infoscitex Corporation            Topic: HSB0101004

    A joint effort by several US military offices aims to create hand held platforms that will enable the real time detection and quantitation of a threat. Detection of explosives in the gas phase presents an extreme advantage for various homeland security applications and operations. However, direct detection of explosives in trace quantities in the air presents an extremely difficult problem due to ...

  10. GPS Resolution in Denied Locations (GRIDLOC)

    SBC: Infoscitex Corporation            Topic: HSB0101006

    Latin American gangs exploit illegal border crossings to expand their sphere of influence in the United States. More than a hundred clandestine tunnels have been discovered beneath the US-Mexico border since 1990, and these tunnels are instrumental for drug smuggling and human trafficking. Clandestine tunnel detection has rapidly become a focus for the DHS, and the DHS is searching for methods to ...
