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. Chip-scale Large-aperture, Ultrawide-angle LiDAR

    SBC: 2PI INC            Topic: T8

    In this program, we aim to pioneer a chip-scale packaged platform to enable efficient coupling from single-mode photonic integrated circuits (PICs) to a large-area (several millimeters in diameter or larger), diffraction-limited beam in response to Topic T8.07 Photonic Integrated Circuits. We further aim to leverage this technology to realize a chip-scale optical engine for light detection and ran ...

  3. Quantum-memory Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (QWDM)

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: T5

    Physical Sciences Inc. (PSI) and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) will develop integrated optical frequency shifters to enable Quantum-memory Wavelength-Division Multiplexing (QWDM). Our approach will enable the connection of multiple quantum memory registers across a free-space or fiber optical channel, increasing the bandwidth of near-term quantum networks by 10ndash;100x. As m ...

  4. Autonomous Swarming for Teams of Exploration Robots (ASTER)

    SBC: CHARLES RIVER ANALYTICS, INC.            Topic: T10

    NASA will use swarms of robot vehicles for future planetary exploration, including Moon explorations in support of a sustained lunar presence. Advanced robotic and autonomous systems can overcome challenges inherent in navigating extreme terrain. Other tasks, such as obtaining mineral or ice samples from a wide area of a planetary surface or exploring terrain that blocks the transmission of signal ...

  5. Dual-Filter Approach to Trust in Hybrid Human-Machine Systems

    SBC: INFINITY LABS LLC            Topic: T10

    Autonomous systems, when subjected to novel environments and tasks, suffer from issues with unknown unknowns. Under these circumstances, human intervention is frequently required. In deep space, such as a manned mission to Mars, communications with Earth require minutes round trip, effectively removing a typical safety net for the astronauts onboard when dealing with autonomous systems and sensors ...

  7. Climate Enhancing Resource Utilization Through Ultra-low-temperature, Electrolytic Carbon Dioxide Valorization on Mars

    SBC: Faraday Technology, Inc.            Topic: T7

    Supporting human life on long-tern space exploration missions, such as manned missions to the surface of Mars, require sustainable resource utilization with minimal support from Earth. In response to this need, NASArsquo;s in-situ resource utilization (ISRU) mission was put in place to provide a sustainable infrastructure for long-tern missions, such as exploration of extraterrestrial planets. One ...

  8. An Intelligent and Wireless Communication Enabled Plasma Probe for Full Scale Rocket Testing

    SBC: SPECTRAL ENERGIES LLC            Topic: T13

    The development of rocket propulsion systems requires rigorous testing. Technology with low-technology readiness levels (TRL) can be proven in small scaled down experiments. However, components and systems with higher-TRLs must be tested at full-scale conditions. These full-scale tests usually require numerous non-homogenous sensors and instrumentation meticulously placed over large distances that ...

  9. Adaptive Neuromorphic Processors for Cognitive Communications

    SBC: BRISK COMPUTING LLC            Topic: H6

    The objective of this work is to develop highly Size, Weight, and Power (SWaP) efficient neuromorphic processors that can train deep learning algorithms. The training phase for deep learning is very compute and data intensive. Being able to train a network on the satellite eliminates the need to send large volumes of data to earth for training a new network. However, this requires an extremely ene ...
