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. Active Material Technology to Improve Solar Sail Performance for Space Weather Monitoring

    SBC: NEXOLVE HOLDING CO LLC            Topic: 96

    Development of a reflection control and direction device (RCDD) is proposed. This innovative device will progress the state of the art for propulsion of solar sails used to fly space weather monitoring sensors to sub-LaGrange point orbits for earlier warning times of impending destructive space weather events. A reflection control device (RCD) utilizes polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mater ...

  2. Developing the Drought Risk Overview Product (DROP): Improving Flash Drought Forecasts and Early Warning Using Machine Learning and Extreme Value Theory Techniques

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: 91

    Drought is responsible for $327.7B in economic loss since 1980 in the United States and typically precedes, cooccurs, or initiates other hazards like wildfires or prolonged periods of intense heat. The compounding or cascading of these hazards routinely threatens the wellbeing and stability of communities. The economic impact from drought can be especially harsh when the drought begins rapidly in ...

  3. Machine Learning and ocean variables for improved predictions of water availability in the US

    SBC: SALIENT PREDICTIONS INC            Topic: 94

    Salient Predictions Inc. proposes to develop new technology for accurate subseasonal to seasonal (S2S) water availability forecasts so that communities may manage water resources in preparation for hazardous events like floods and droughts. Current hydrological models face challenges related to data inputs, as climate change has been presenting weather patterns atypical from historical data. Witho ...

  4. Smokesonde: Low cost in-situ sampling of smoke and convective storm intensity supporting fire weather and incident meteorology

    SBC: YANKEE ENVIRONMENTAL SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 91

    We propose to develop in-situ low cost sensors to support fire meteorology for wildland fire emergency response, by blanketing the fire area with real time measurements. Sensors can be air-deployed to provide vertical atmospheric measurement profiles or hand-emplaced for augmenting existing surface fire weather stations. Each telemeters precision measurements of air temperature, solar radiation, i ...

  5. Controlled Altitude Ballooning (CAB) for monitoring Energetic Particle effects on the Atmosphere

    SBC: Space Balloon Technologies Corp.            Topic: 96

    SpaceLoon proposes to design, prototype, and test a consistent, reliable, and bi-directional Controlled Altitude Ballooning (CAB) system for monitoring climate constituents, such as energetic particles (solar and cosmic) and thermodynamic variables, across various atmospheric layers. The absence of linkage between space weather events and atmospheric physics, chemistry, and dynamics, creates voids ...

  7. Novel probes for real time monitoring of dissolved gases and their isotopologues in aquatic ecosystems

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: 93

    Ocean ecosystems are critical to the regulation of Earth’s climate and biodiversity, while also hosting a range of direct and indirect benefits to people, from being a food source to recreation. Coastal ocean systems are dynamic regions especially rich in diverse biological and geochemical interactions. However, major gaps exist in our knowledge of the primary biogeochemical processes and the fa ...

  8. In Situ and Point of Sale Quantification of Human Pathogens Associated with Aquaculture and Shellfish Farming Using Novel Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy

    SBC: COASTALOCEANVISION, INC            Topic: 93

    There is a dire need for technology to rapidly and accurately detect and quantify Escherichia coli serotypes 0157:H7 and K12 and Vibrio parahaemolyticus and total fecal coliforms. In Phase I we developed a novel approach to Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) for detecting human pathogens in cultured bacteria, mixtures of organisms and in oyster tissue. Our approach uses a higher energy las ...

  9. Nowcasting wildfire ember risk in the WUI with WindTL

    SBC: IMPROVING AVIATION LLC            Topic: 92

    The lack of consistent, accurate information on local wildfire behavior, such as gustiness of winds at wildfire fronts and ember showers is one of the most critical data gaps for wildfire managers. Atmospheric processes in the atmospheric boundary layer significantly influence the behavior of wildfires. Temporal and spatial variability of fine-scale winds at the wildfire front plays a key role in ...

  10. Time-Gated Optical Oceanographic Sensors (TGOOS)

    SBC: CONNECTSIX LLC            Topic: 92

    There is a need for more capable and affordable means to measure optical properties and biological constituents of marine and freshwater environments. These measures are crucial for estimating the abundance of organisms such as those producing harmful algal blooms (HABs). Affordable and effective methods to extend the measurement range and improve sensitivity of traditional optical instruments wil ...
