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. CMC Control Surface Designs

    SBC: MATERIALS RESEARCH & DESIGN INC            Topic: O205

    As space exploration and hypersonic cruise technologies develop, the focus has shifted towards the development of lightweight, fully reusable and lower cost vehicles. The current state-of-the-art (SOA) is taking an incremental improvement step over the Space Shuttle TPS approach. All-ceramic matrix composite (CMC) body flaps developed for the X-38 vehicle were shown to offer considerable mass savi ...

  2. A Generalized Software Toolkit for Portable GPU-Enabled Chemistry Acceleration in CFD Applications

    SBC: COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: A202

    Current combustor design simulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving fuel-lean combustion have entailed using large amounts of dedicated CPU resources for extended time periods due to the expense of solving detailed, strongly-coupled, chemical kinetic models. Such models are inherently data parallel, and much faster solutions can be obtained using low-cost graphics proces ...

  3. Damage-Tolerant Integration of Dissimilar Materials Using Microcrack-Resistant Isolating Adhesive

    SBC: Applied Analytic Research            Topic: O204

    Future space exploration projects will expose system components (such as cryogenic systems) to extreme conditions and to a higher number of pressure and temperature cycles, due to long missions and reusable launch vehicle (RLV) designs. High performance materials, such as low-density ceramics, foams, aerogels, composites, metals, and multi-layer insulations (MLI) will be increasingly used. These m ...

  4. Wideband Single Crystal Transducer for Bone Characterization

    SBC: TRS CERAMICS, INC.            Topic: X1202

    TRS Technologies proposes to develop a very wideband ultrasound diagnostic tool for quantification of trabecular bone properties for astronauts in long term space missions. Loss of calcification in bones and general loss of strength must be monitored in missions to insure personnel health, however, there are currently limited non-invasive methods that can do this. Research has shown that differen ...

  5. Low Cost Variable Conductance Heat Pipe for Balloon Payload

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: S307

    While continuously increasing in complexity, the payloads of terrestrial high altitude balloons need a thermal management system to reject their waste heat and to maintain a stable temperature as the air (sink) temperature swings from as cold as -90oC to as hot as +40oC. Currently, constant conductance, copper-methanol heat pipes are utilized on balloon payloads to remove th ...

  6. Individualized Stress Detection System

    SBC: PULSAR INFORMATICS, INC.            Topic: X1301

    Given the extended duration of future missions and the isolated, extreme and confined environments, there is the possibility that stress-related behavioral conditions and mental disorders (DSM-IV-TR) will develop. The overarching goal of this project is to deliver an integrated system that will track physiological signals (heart rate and heart rate variability) and behavioral signals (sleep wake p ...

  7. Design Support and Analysis Tool for Pyrotechnically Actuated Valves

    SBC: COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: X201

    Pyrotechnically actuated valves are triggered on or off by firing an explosive charge that rapidly releases large amounts of high-pressure, gas. Pyrovalves are generally used for critical safety functions in almost all liquid and solid rocket systems and are designed to be fail-proof and provide extremely reliable actuation. However due to the lack of mature analysis tools, current design practi ...

  8. Novel Wick Structures for Improved Heat Pipe Performance

    SBC: THERMACORE, INC.            Topic: X304

    Heat pipes are commonly used for transporting heat over relatively long distances with very low temperature drop. One of the limitations of heat pipes is the capillary limit, which states that the sum of pressure drops of the working fluid cannot exceed the capillary head developed by the wick. Since most of the working fluid pressure drop is incurred in flow through the wick, it is important to ...

  9. High Fidelity Simulation of Jet Noise Emissions from Rectangular Nozzles

    SBC: COMBUSTION RESEARCH & FLOW TECHNOLOGY INC            Topic: A203

    The proposed SBIR Phase I & II programs will lead to the validation of a state-of-the-art Large Eddy Simulation (LES) model, coupled with a Ffowcs-Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) farfield acoustic solver, for supporting the development of advanced engine concepts, including innovative flow control strategies for attenuation of their jet noise emissions. The LES/FW-H model will be simultaneously validated ...

  10. Cloud discrimination for ASCENDS Mission Based on Optical Phase Conjugation as a Novel Approach

    SBC: ArkLight            Topic: S101

    PI at ArkLight proposes a novel scheme for making cloud discrimination in the wavelength ranges of near-IR (1-1.8µm) and mid-IR (3-4 µm). This scheme is based on optical phase conjugation from a second-order nonlinear medium. It overcomes the disadvantages of slow speed in photorefractive media and poor reflectivities in third-order nonlinear materials. During Phase 1, she will design novel ...
