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. Circuit Board Component Recovery for Electronic Waste Reduction

    SBC: Advanced Recovery and Recycling, LLC            Topic: 14NCER1A

    Electronic waste (e-waste) is the fastest growing municipal waste stream in America. Significant amounts of e-waste are actually not waste, but rather components recoverable for reuse, resale or recycled for their precious metals. In 2010, 3,320,000 tons of e-waste were generated (per “Municipal Solid Waste Generation, Recycling and Disposal in the United States; Tables and Figures for 2012,” ...

  2. Parking-Cruising Caused Congestion & Targeting Public Mitigation Investments

    SBC: NELSON/NYGAARD CONSULTING ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: 142FH2

    Cruising for parking is a problem that cities have long struggled to address. Recent efforts by the FHWA in San Francisco, Minneapolis, Los Angeles, and other cities have advanced the state of knowledge but large gaps remain. This project seeks to address these important gaps by using GPS traces, GPS-augmented travel surveys, and GPS traces with driver video to quantify the extent of cruising, and ...

  3. Using Alternative Energy to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Production in the Transportation Sector

    SBC: INNOVATIVE DYNAMICS INC.            Topic: 142OS1

    IDI is proposing an electrically assisted e-bike system, designed to increase the usage of bicycles for daily commute, specifically targeting areas and demographics with below average bicycle usage, and adverse weather conditions. This design is intended for usage alongside traditional bikes in bike share programs across the country. The primary benefit is attract those otherwise unwilling or unab ...

  4. Using Alternative Energy to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Production in the Transportation Sector

    SBC: Advanced Engines Development Corporation            Topic: 142OS1

    U.S. DOT’s Zero Emissions Transportation Initiative is looking to push the transportation sector greenhouse gas production to zero by 2050. This solicitation/topic addresses alternative energy sources for the light vehicle, motorcycle, and bicycle sector. With the continuing significant development in commercialization and availability of biofuels, the possibility exists to meet this goal, with ...

  5. Growth of a Fungal Biopolymer to Displace Common Synthetic Polymers and Exotic Woods

    SBC: Ecovative Design Llc            Topic: B

    The use of plastic (polyethylene, Polypropylene, polyurethane and poly lactic acid) has grown and continues to grow steadily because of the materials’ high strength-to-weigh ratios, low cost, and ease of molding as compared to conventional natural materials. Unfortunately, almost all commercial plastics are notoriously unsustainable due to fossil fuel-based constituents, the wasteful and energy ...

  6. MAGNETIC SHIELDING OF LSM AND EDS MODULES

    SBC: Intermagnetics General Corp            Topic: N/A

    MAGNETIC LEVITATION (MAGLEV) TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS DEPEND ON MAGNETS OF INTENSE FLUX DENSITITES FOR PROPULSION, LEVITATION AND GUIDANCE. THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING POSSIBLE PHYSIOLOGICAL, LEVITATION AND GUIDANCE. THERE ARE SOME CONCERNS REGARDING POSSIBLE PHYSIOLOGICAL DAMAGE TO HUMAN BEINGS EXPOSED TO HIGH MAGNETIC FIELDS. CONSEQUENTLY, THE ABILITY TO SHIELD MAGLEV MAGNET FIELSD FROM PASS ...

  7. AUTOMATED RAIL-BASED WHEEL GAUGE

    SBC: INTERNATIONAL ELECTRONIC MACHINES CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    INCREASED LOADS, HIGHER SPEEDS, AND A MORE EFFICIENT USE OF THE NATION'S FLEET OF LOCOMOTIVES AND FREIGHT CARS IS PUTTING INCREASED STRESS ON RAILROAD WHEELS. ALSO, A REDUCED WORKFORCE COMBINED WITH MORE RESTRICTED SIGHT LINES AND FEWER OPPORTUNITIES FOR WHEEL INSPECTION ARE REDUCING THE QUALITY OF THE INSPECTIONS THAT DO TAKE PLACE. MANY RAILROADS HAVE RESPONDED BY DEVELOPING OR PURCHASING PRODUC ...

  9. DESIGN STUDY FOR A REDUCED ENERGY AND SIZE, PULSED DEUTERON ACCELERATOR FOR USE IN A PFNA EXPLOSIVES DETECTION SYSTEM.

    SBC: National Electrostatics Corp.            Topic: N/A

    A PROTOTYPE FOR AN EXPLOSIVE DETECTION SYSTEM USING PULSED FAST NEUTRON ACTIVATION (PFNA) TECHNIQUES USES AN ELECTROSTATIC TANDEM ACCELERATOR TO PRODUCE NANOSECOND WIDTH PULSES OF 6 MEV DEUTERONS. WHILE THIS APPROACH ALLOWS ONE TO PRODUCE NEUTRONS OF AN ENERGY SUITED TO THE REACTION ONE HOPES TO EXCITE IN SAMPLE ATOMS OF INTEREST, IT REQUIRES THE USE OF A FAIRLY LARGE AND EXPENSIVE ACCELERATOR SYS ...

  10. UNIQUE ON-SITE DESTRUCTION OF TRANSFORMER ASKARELS USING A LOW-TEMPERATURE, MILD CHEMICAL METHOD

    SBC: Veritay Technology, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    THESE IS A GREAT NEED FOR A SAFE, ENERGY-EFFICIENT, ON-SITE METHOD FOR DECONTAMINATING VARIOUS CHEMICAL TOXINS. NEARLY ALL (I.E., 99.8%) OF THE POLYCHLORINATED BIPHENYLS (PCBS) FOUND IN CURRENT APPLICATIONS ARE USED AS DIELECTIC FLUID. THIS AMOUNTS TO ABOUT 30,000,000 GALLONS OF PCB-CONTAMINATED FLUID. TO REDUCE THIS EXPOSURE RISK THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY IS REQUIRING THE ACCELERATED PH ...
