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. Advanced Heat Exchanger bsed on 3D Woven Metal Wires

    SBC: 3TEX, Inc.            Topic: 11c

    A heat exchanger must balance an ability to transfer heat to a fluid with the amount of power required to move the fluid through the heat exchanger. For most systems, heat transfer is largely driven by the material¿s thermal conductivity and the structure¿s surface-area-to-volume ratio. Increasing the latter factor increases the heat exchanger¿s capacity or reduces the exchanger¿s size. A ...

  2. Advanced Techniques for On-Line Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics of Digital Rod Position Indication Systems for Existing and Next Generation Nuclear Power Plants

    SBC: ANALYSIS AND MEASUREMENT SERVICE CORPORATION            Topic: 66a

    The designs of many existing Pressurized Water Reactors (PWRs) incorporate a Digital Rod Position Indication (DRPI) system to monitor the positions of the control and shutdown rods within the reactor. These DRPI systems have been in service for over 30 years in nuclear power stations worldwide, and are currently being used as the basis for the rod position indication systems in new designs. In re ...

  3. Algal Biodiesel via Innovative Harvesting and Aquaculture Systems

    SBC: Renewable Algal Energy, Llc            Topic: N/A

    The United States needs to reduce its dependence on foreign oil by developing a renewable source of biodiesel fuel that is competitive with petroleum diesel but does not compete for scarce resources such as fresh water, arable land, and existing food crops. Algae are uniquely qualified for this challenge because of their high productivity of oil and biomass. Furthermore, algal biodiesel can be p ...

  4. Application of Wireless Sensors for Predictive Maintenance of Rotating Equipment in DOE's Research Reactors

    SBC: ANALYSIS AND MEASUREMENT SERVICE CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    Research reactors in the United States use numerous motors, compressors, fans, turbines, and other rotating equipment that need systematic maintenance. These devices could benefit from advanced predictive maintenance techniques that have become available in recent years. Although some reactor facilities currently incorporate some of these techniques, many lack an adequate complement of test sens ...

  5. Back-Gate Field Emission-Based Cathode RF Electron Gun

    SBC: RIVIS, INC.            Topic: 03a

    High current electron sources are required in numerous applications of interest to the DOE; however, current RF guns based upon thermionic cathodes and photocathodes have serious limitations. While thermionic cathodes have high average electron currents, they suffer from degraded beam quality when used in RF guns; this degradation in beam quality is due to the fact that the electron emission cann ...

  6. Computer-aided development of ductile ferritic steels with high strengths for ultra-supercritical steam-turbine applications

    SBC: Multi-phase Services, Inc.            Topic: 32c

    The efficiency of the conventional fossil-power plant can be improved by increasing the steam temperature and pressure. The DOE is targeting an increase of the steam temperature from 593°C to 677°C by the year 2010 and to 760°C by 2020. Currently, ferritic steels are used at temperatures below 620°C for fossil-energy conversion systems, but these materials exhibit limited creep resistance at ...

  7. Development and Neutronic Validation of Pelletized Cold and Very Cold Moderators for Pulsed Neutron Sources

    SBC: Cryogenic Applications F, Inc.            Topic: 01a

    Existing and planned neutron facilities, such as the Spallation Neutron source, generate bursts of cold neutrons for materials research. The efficiency of the beam line components, which convert the fast neutrons to a cold neutron beam, determines the usefulness of the facility. Existing solid methane moderators have a high efficiency, but can¿t be scaled to work on high power facilities. A cold ...

  8. Development of High Energy, Low Temperature Rechargeable Battery for Load Leveling Application

    SBC: Electrochemical Systems, Inc.            Topic: 08a

    The most common method for utility energy storage in the US is pumped hydro, which has very low energy density (~ 1.1 kWh/m3) and long response times (1 to 5 min). Another method is the use of rechargeable batteries such as lead acid batteries (40 kWh/m3), which require high maintenance and have a low cycle life. Therefore, the DOE is interested in finding novel battery chemistries that have the ...

  10. High-Purity Germanium Crystals for Low Background Counting Arrays

    SBC: Phds Co.            Topic: N/A

    The next generation of DOE low-background user facilities will require suitable germanium crystal production capabilities. These crystal-growth techniques must accommodate the handling of highly enriched germanium in a manner consistent with low background counting. In this project, germanium crystal growth techniques will be experimentally developed specifically for the growth of crystals for l ...
