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. Novel Methods to Measure Penetrator Dynamics in Multi-Layer Geometries

    SBC: Thornton Tomasetti, Inc.            Topic: DTRA07011

    In Phase I of this effort we analyzed the structural response of a BLU 109 during typical penetration events. Based on these finite element results, we proposed and demsonstrated a simple robust concept for a passive penetrator sensor that identifies the material being penetrated and also correlates strongly with its underground trajectory. Such a sensor would obviously provide valuable informatio ...

  2. Improvements in Scintillation Technology for Detection of Nuclear Radiation

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: DTRA07004

    High-resolution scintillation crystals and crystal arrays are important components of current and future handheld and arrayed detectors (used for DOD/DTRA applications), and scintillation spectrometers (routinely used in high energy physics research, medical imaging, diffraction, homeland security, nuclear waste clean-up, nuclear treaty verification and safeguards, and geological exploration). Un ...

  3. Advanced nanocomposite scintillator for gamma radiation detection

    SBC: AGILTRON, INC.            Topic: DTRA08005

    Until now gamma radiation detection has required large single crystals of sensitive materials that are difficult to produce consistently on an industrial scale. In collaboration with a research group at the University of Texas at Arlington, Agiltron proposes to develop a new class of nanocomposite scintillator materials. The radiation detection characteristics of the synthetic nanoparticles in the ...

  4. Agent Defeat using a DWA Accelerator

    SBC: BROOKHAVEN TECHNOLOGY GROUP INC            Topic: DTRA08008

    A new type of compact induction accelerator currently under development at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) promises to increase the average accelerating gradient by at least an order of magnitude over that of existing induction machines. The machine is based on the use of high gradient vacuum insulators and advanced dielectric materials and switches. The system, called the Diel ...

  5. Engineering Models for Damage to Structural Components Subjected to Internal Blast Loading

    SBC: Thornton Tomasetti, Inc.            Topic: DTRA08006

    Predicting the response of building components to internal detonations is more complex than the corresponding task for external loads because of the more complex loading waveforms which include multiple reflections in the shock phase followed by a long duration pseudostatic loading that depends upon room venting. Add the possibility of additional impulsive loading from primary debris. We propose t ...

  6. A PERIODONTAL TEMPERATURE PROBE

    SBC: ABIOMED, INC.            Topic: N/A

    THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PROPOSED EFFORT IS DIRECTED TOWARDS THE DEVELOPMENT OF A PERIODONTAL TEMPERATURE PROBE WITH RESPONSE TIME AND SENSITIVITY CHARACTERISTICS WHICH CAN POTENTIALLY PROVIDE AN OBJECTIVE AND SIMPLE DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUE IN ASSESSING PERIODONTAL DISEASE ACTIVITY. STUDIES HAVE SUGGESTED THAT INFLAMED SULCI ARE ACCOMPANIED BY ELEVATED TEMPERATURE INDICATIONS. CONVENTIONAL TECHNIQUES, S ...

  7. IN VIVO COINCIDENCE XRF MEASUREMENTS FOR HEAVY METALS

    SBC: ABIOMED, INC.            Topic: N/A

    X-RAY FLUORESCENCE (XRF) IS THE MOST PRECISE METHOD OF MEASURING BODY AND ORGAN BURDENS OF HEAVY METALS IN VIVO. HOWEVER, THE REQUIRED PRECISION FOR SCREENING OF CHRONICALLYLOW-LEVEL-EXPOSED POPULATIONS FOR THESE METALS, IN PARTICULAR LEAD AND MERCURY, IS BETWEEN 5 AND 20 TIMES GREATER THAN ACHIEVABLE BY CURRENT METHODS. THIS PROJECT DESCRIBES AN INNOVATIVE VARIATION OF XRF THAT CAN PROVIDE AN IMP ...

  8. CONTINUOUS, AUTOMATED CONTROL OF IABP TIMING

    SBC: ABIOMED, INC.            Topic: N/A

    THE EFFECTIVENESS OF INTRA-AORTIC BALLOON PUMP (IABP) THERAPY IS DEPENDENT ON PHYSIOLOGICAL AND PHYSICAL VARIABLES, PERHAPS THE MOST IMPORTANT OF WHICH IS THE SETTING OF IABP TIMING OF INFLATION AND DEFLATION RELATIVE TO THE CARDIAC CYCLE. THE OPTIMIZATION OF TIMING IS CURRENTLY HANDLED MANUALLY, DELEGATED TO A PUMP TECHNICIAN OR PERFUSIONIST, AND IS UPDATED ANYWHERE FROM SEVERAL TIMES AN HOUR TO ...

  9. Tubular Pediatric Ventricular Assist Device

    SBC: ABIOMED, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The use of dedicated pulsatile ventricular support devices (VAD) for circulatory support is becoming an accepted treatment modality for adult patients requiring support due to post-cardiotomy pump failure or post-AMI cariogenic shock; the VAD could also be used as a bridge to transplant. Although temporary circulatory support in pediatric patients is being performed with ECMO or centrifugal pumps, ...

  10. Miniature Elctrohydraulic Total Artificial Heart

    SBC: ABIOMED, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The limited availability of donor hearts for people with end stage heart failure has driven the condevelopment of mechanical circulatory support systems (MCSSs). MCSSs can be broadly classified intocontinuous flow systems. Pulsatile systems drive blood indirectly through blood pumps, resulting inThis disadvantage of these systems, however, is their relatively large size. Continuous flow systemssim ...
