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. Development of Low Cost Conducting Polymer for Electrostatic Precipitators

    SBC: Applied Sciences Inc.            Topic: 20b

    78513 The electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a key technology for removing pollution from the flue gases generated by coal fired power plants. However, in these systems, the metal collection surfaces are extremely heavy, have high costs of installation, and are easily corroded. Polymer fabric collection surfaces have not been shown to be suffciently conductive to allow dry collection. This pro ...

  2. High-Energy-Density Nanocomposite Nd-Fe-B/Fe Magnets for Advanced Generator/Motor Applications

    SBC: FUTURE TEK USA CORP.            Topic: 29b

    79428 Recently, the energy product of bulk nanocomposite Nd2Fe14B/Fe magnets has reached 50 MGOe, a level that can compete with the best conventional Nd-Fe-B magnets. With continued development, much higher energy densities (up to 90 MGOe) are anticipated. This new development represents a great opportunity for significantly improving performance, enhancing energy efficiency, and reducing volume ...

  3. Fiber-Optic Sensor with Simultaneous Temperature, Pressure, and Chemical Sensing Capabilities

    SBC: Micromaterials, Inc            Topic: 31d

    78477 A key to improving energy efficiency in the chemical and petrochemical industries is the ability to monitor such in situ parameters as the temperature, pressure, and chemical composition of the process stream under harsh and extreme conditions. Instruments with the required capabilities and/or robustness currently either do not exist or are inadequate. This project will develop a fiber-opti ...

  4. Direct Drive Power Buoy

    SBC: Peregrine Power LLC            Topic: 28c

    78772 Wave energy is a vast resource that should be included in the mix of energy resources serving the public. It offers the benefits of most renewable resources: no dependence on costly fuels of limited supply, no effluent, little impact on animal and plant habitat and, when located off shore, little impact on recreation or scenic beauty. This project will develop a high efficiency, direct d ...

  5. Novel Module Architecture Development for Increased Reliability and Reduced Costs

    SBC: Creative Light Source, Inc            Topic: 07a

    Statement of Problem: The US DOE has set a goal to advance photovoltaics (PV) technology to reach installed costs of less than $1/Watt. This requires module costs below $0.50/ Watt. Thin film PV provides the lowest documented production cost per watt ($0.67) of any PV technology. Module reliability has a direct impact on the levalized cost of energy (LCOE), or the cost of the energy produced by ...

  6. Practical Fiber Delivered Laser Ignition Systems for Vehicles

    SBC: Seaforth LLC            Topic: 08b

    Improved ignition methods are needed for advanced vehicle combustion systems, in particular those that allow reliable ignition of lean mixtures in gasoline engines at elevated pressures. Laser ignition is a candidate technology having the potential to address these needs. However, despite more than 40 years of laser ignition research, the technology is not yet in commercial use. A critical proble ...

  7. Synthesis of a Potential Fast Ionic Conductor for Mg+ Ions

    SBC: POWDERMET INC            Topic: 15b

    Development of a solid with high conductivity of Mg2+ cations will allow application of that substance as membrane in magnesium-air batteries. These batteries will be much cheaper, safer, and at the same time store much more energy than lead-, lithium- or sodium batteries with the same weight. Such batteries would be ideal for electric vehicles and for the off-peak storage of renewable elect ...

  8. Virtual Accelerator Support for HPC Clouds

    SBC: RNET TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 02a

    Due to huge levels of computing parallelism and higher performance per watt, comuting accelerators are crucial for increasing HPC efficiency. This is economically significant for small and medium size manufacturing companies (SMMs) and essential for transition to Exascale computing. However, due to high procurement costs, in-house maintenance of an accelerated HPC cluster is prohibitive for many ...

  9. Cavity Enhanced Thomson Scattering System for Low Temperature Plasmas

    SBC: Seaforth LLC            Topic: 30a

    Electrons play a very key role in plasma chemistry and dynamics of low temperature plasmas. Improved capability for measuring electron number density, ne, and electron energy distribution function, EEDF, in weakly ionized low temperature plasmas would benefit both fundamental study and application areas. For example, the capability would directly benefit emerging research targeted at modifying and ...

  10. Thermionic Conversion of Automotive Waste Heat

    SBC: ASTRALUX, INC.            Topic: 26b

    79590B Automobile engines generate significant waste heat, which could be recovered and converted to electricity to meet the growing demand for electric power. Thermionic emission allows waste heat to be converted, but traditional thermionic materials provide very low conversion efficiencies at the moderate temperatures (400-600°C) found in an automobile exhaust system. Thus, there is a need ...
