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. Novel HSI Sensor

    SBC: Arete Associates            Topic: 03a

    The Remote Detection Program within the Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development (DNN R&D) is tasked with developing new technical capabilities to improve the detection, identification, and characterization of special nuclear and radiological materials. In addition to the detection of new threats, the office must also meet nuclear test treaty monitoring obligations. Due ...

  2. Optimizing algae based polyurethanes for controlled biodegradation

    SBC: ALGENESIS CORP            Topic: 08b

    Today approximately 7,000 million metric tons (MMt) of plastic waste has been generated, and only a few percentage of that had been recycled, with the vast majority accumulating in landfills, or worse in the natural environments like our oceans. If we continue at this same rate, there will be 96 billion tons of plastic waste accumulated on this planet by 2050; this has to change. Our goal is to de ...

  4. Cold Spray EMAT continuous monitoring system for real-time structural health monitoring

    SBC: INNERSPEC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 34b

    As made evident by multiple publications by experts from the U.S. Department of Energy from 2014 through 2018, welded stainless-steel Dry Storage Canisters used for spent nuclear fuel storage are experiencing severe stress corrosion cracking, especially in the welds’ heat-affected zone. In 2016, there were 2777 Dry Storage Canisters deployed across the country, and approximately 200 more are add ...

  5. 18-20 MeV Transportable High Field Superconducting Cyclotron for Security Applications

    SBC: T Antaya, LLC            Topic: 04a

    Critical security applications- the detection of WMD, strategic nuclear materials, contraband and organic/inorganic discrimination, in Seaports, Ports of Entry, air freight shipping centers, and clandestine operations, require fast, high discrimination radiation scanning systems that are compact, easily fielded, and operate low overall radiation levels. A new type of cyclotron, the compact high fi ...

  6. Two-Dimensional Dispersion Interferometer

    SBC: L-EGANT SOLUTIONS, LLC            Topic: 24a

    Many applications in science, engineering, biology, and technology rely on interferometry to measure precisely the density of a plasma, gas, fluid, cellular structure, etc. Optical interferometry provides the highest sensitivity and resolution of all similar methods, yet designs are limited by mechanical vibrations, design complexity, and high maintenance. A Dispersion Interferometer (DI) alleviat ...

  7. Low CapEx Clean NH3 Synthesis for Seasonal Energy Storage and Hydrogen Fuel

    SBC: STARFIRE ENERGY INC            Topic: 12c

    Solar electricity price has dropped dramatically, making it the cheapest electricity to add to the grid in many locations. Its variable nature is now becoming a challenge to integrate into the electricity grid. Affordable, scalable, long-term energy storage is required to enable continued low-cost solar electricity deployment. Solar electricity can be used to make fuel, which provides long term en ...

  8. Luminescent Enhancement for Combined Solar and Commercial Agriculture

    SBC: SOLICULTURE, INC.            Topic: 12e

    This proposal will develop a new racking/mounting system combined with a new agriculture- tuned luminescent solar panel for low cost high tunnel implementation to produce both crops and electricity for small local farms. Crop trials performed under this specialized panel/racking system can be extended to open field agriculture with standard utility scale racking system in phase II. The US agricult ...

  9. Nanostructured Proton Exchange Membrane

    SBC: ESPIN TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 10a

    The polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) remains one of the most significant cost components of the fuel cell (FC) stack. Development of a low-cost PEM suitable for rapid commercialization of FCs, with a wide range of desired characteristics meeting the DOE performance targets is the subject of this project. This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project aims to design, develop, and produce ...

  10. Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation (PEO) Coatings as Superior Thermal Barriers for Engine Pistons

    SBC: IBC Materials & Technologies, LLC            Topic: 13c

    Automobiles (cars and trucks for instance) are the predominant mode of transportation in the United States. These vehicles are powered by internal combustion engines that consume fossil fuels such as gasoline. Improving the efficiency of internal combustion engines is an ongoing challenge of enormous impact to energy consumption in the world. In order to improve engine efficiency and thus fuel eco ...
