The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Dechlorination of Mixed-Plastics Feedstock with Low Temperature Pyrolysis for Downstream Gasification and Hydrogen Production

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: C5626d

    Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) is a huge untapped renewable feedstock resource to produce hydrogen through gasification. Currently, the utilization MSW for hydrogen production is not realized due to the presence of chlorine that causes degradation of gasifier components and formation of pollutants during gasification. This proposed technology has the potential to remove chlorine and produce a consist ...

  4. Using Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (sUAS) to Autonomously Conduct Base Perimeter Inspections

    SBC: AIRTONOMY INC            Topic: X224ODCSO1

    nGrand Forks Air Force Base (GFAFB) is a sprawling installation on a 5,773 acre installation with 13 miles of perimeter fence-line. Many of these perimeter areas have limited monitoring capabilities due to a lack of grid power for fixed sensors and cameras. Installing sensors is impractical due to cost and time constraints and the remoteness of these areas.  The squadron deploys teams of Defender ...

  5. Optimization of Coal Waste/Biomass Gasification for Hydrogen Production

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: C5421f

    Decades of coal use in the United States has resulted in large amounts of waste coal materials produced from coal preparation plants. Currently, these coal wastes are stored in piles and ponds, and many are causing environmental problems such as acid mine drainage. Technologies must be developed that can utilize these coal waste materials. Gasification of coal waste combined with biomass has the p ...

  6. Development of Sorting Algorithm for Critical Mineral-rich Coal Resource Feedstocks for Use in Full-Stream Analyzers

    SBC: MICROBEAM TECHNOLOGIES INCORPORATED            Topic: 24d

    This Small Business Innovation Research project addresses the issue of high variability of critical minerals (CM) that includes rare earth elements (REE) in coal feedstocks. The proposed project is aimed at developing a technology to sort coals based on REE-CM concentration. Sorting the high CM from low CM-containing feedstocks is essential to the economic viability of a commercial CM concentrate ...

  8. Novel Biodegradable Biobased Polymers for Agricultural Applications

    SBC: RENUVIX LLC            Topic: 84

    The proper level of nutrients is important for effective crop yields. In modern agriculture theapplication of fertilizers is a key part of nutrient management. Often the high water-solubility andvolatility of common fertilizers results in significant losses of nutrients that dramatically reduce theeffectiveness of fertilizers. Modification of fertilizer products by applying polymer coatings hasbee ...
