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. Portable nitrous oxide sensor for understanding agricultural and soil emissions

    SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC            Topic: 18c

    Nitrous oxide is the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG,) with an atmospheric lifetime of ~114 years and a global warming impact ~300 times greater than that of CO2. The main cause of nitrous oxides atmospheric increase is anthropogenic emissions, and over 80% of the current global anthropogenic flux is related to agriculture, including associated land-use change. An accurate assessment of N ...

  2. Advanced Reusable Mandrel for Ceramic Cladding Fabrication

    SBC: CERAMIC TUBULAR PRODUCTS, LLC            Topic: 19b

    The use of advanced ceramic materials, such as silicon carbide, for light water reactor fuel cladding is being investigated, in part due to the increased safety margin afforded by this technology over conventional zircaloy metallic claddings. In light of the Fukushima events, safety concerns have come to the forefront of public scrutiny of commercial nuclear generated power and spurred activity ...

  3. Singlet-oxygen Plasma Afterglow Reaction Chamber for Disinfection and Sterilization

    SBC: CU AEROSPACE L.L.C.            Topic: 18a

    The capability of discharge-produced reactive oxygen species, in particular O2(a1), to effectively inactivate biological species has been empirically well-established. Disinfection and sterilization processes for instruments, surfaces, and wounds are essential in disease prevention to ensure destruction of microorganisms that can contaminate materials. Such microorganisms include spore-forming and ...

  4. Advanced Magnesium Matrix Composites for Lightweight Vehicles

    SBC: MATERIALS MODIFICATIONS INC            Topic: 07b

    Light weight ceramic hollow spheres-filled metal alloy syntactic foams have potential to replace heavy metal structures used in load bearing structural applications. These syntactic foams have a combination of low density and high strength, modulus, and damage tolerance. Aluminum/hollow ceramic composite is the most commonly investigated system for light weight applications. Magnesium, with the l ...

  5. Developing Affordable Creep-resistant Aluminum Alloys for Car Brake Rotors

    SBC: NANOAL LLC            Topic: 07b

    Currently, cast-iron is nearly exclusively used for car brake rotors. Replacing cast-iron by a high- temperature, creep-resistant aluminum alloy could translate into about 80 lbs (36 kg) in weight reduction for a typical car, thus improving its gasoline mileage and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. Current commercial, castable, age-hardening aluminum alloys cannot withstand temperatures above ...

  6. Lithium Ion Battery Electrode Binders with Enhanced Ion Transport and Thermal Properties

    SBC: Navitas Systems, Llc            Topic: 07a

    Polymer binders play a key role in the cycle life and abuse tolerance of lithium ion batteries. Binder formulations are highly constrained by electrochemical stability and compatibility with established electrode manufacturing infrastructure and hygiene. This SBIR project develops a new aqueous binder system based on a polymer that supports high lithium ion transport rate and is highly compatible ...

  7. Breakdown Resistant Refractory Metal Coatings for Field-Aligned ICRF Antennas

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: 16b

    In fusion plasmas, ion cyclotron range of frequency (ICRF) and lower hybrid range of frequency (LHRF) power is anticipated to be a primary auxiliary heating and current drive sources in next step tokamak experiments like ITER. From a technological perspective, several challenges remain including electrical breakdown and material compatibility with a nuclear environment. Copper has been the prima ...

  8. High Strength, Oxidation Resistant Fuel Claddings for Improved Accident Tolerance

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: 19b

    The recent events at the Fukushima nuclear power plant highlight the need for enhanced accident tolerance. Of particular concern is the overheating of standard zirconium alloy cladding material in a loss of coolant accident (LOCA). One of the leading, high-risk/high-reward candidates for future claddings is a silicon carbide (SiC) composite material. However, the inherent open porosity present in ...

  9. PFC Laser-Based Surface Microtexturing For Liquid Metal Wetting, Improved Heat Transfer, Safety and Control

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: 15a

    Surface microtexturing can be used for enhanced heat transfer capabilities at liquid-solid or gas-solid interfaces to improve convection, decrease boundary layer size, change liquid flow properties, and affect the general fluid adhesion (wetting) on the material surface. Recent research has shown that sub- nanosecond laser pulses on metallic surfaces (e.g. stainless, zirconium, etc.)can produce mi ...

  10. Plasma-Assisted Nanostructure Synthesis For Energy, Heat-Transfer, Catalytic and Chemical Reaction Devices

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: 18b

    3D-nanostructured, large surface area materials are desired for a wide range of catalytic and chemical reaction devices, such as electrodes for fast-charging lithium ion batteries, compact catalytic converters for pollution control, high-speed crackers for petroleum reforming, high capacity filters and scrubbers for impurity control, high pumping speed absorbers for extreme high vacuum systems, di ...
