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. Silicon Carbide (SiC) Foam for Molten Salt Containment in CSP-Gen3 Systems

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: 18c

    Phase I analysis results show that in order to potentially meet the round trip and exergetic efficiencies as required by the Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technology Office, for thermal energy storage in concentrated solar plants, a composite of porous silicon carbide and molten salt phase change material is needed.For a 100 megawatt (electrical) concentrated solar power plant with 12 hour ...

  2. Multiplexed Signal Recovery for Ultrafast Diagnostics

    SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 24b

    There is a growing need for high bandwidth (greater than 2 terahertz) long duration optical waveform measurement in telecommunications, laser development, and data collection from optically encoded sensors.Sensor monitoring requires multiplexing multiple sensors for cost reduction.The system must also be able to completely characterize laser driver pulses at multiple locations, providing the inten ...

  3. HYPERTUNNEL- A MR/VR Remote Collaboration System

    SBC: FACTUALVR INC            Topic: 05a

    An important challenge electric utilities will face in the foreseeable future is a workforce that is rapidly retiring and the resulting loss of institutional knowledge.This will also create a vulnerability in the electric grid, especially during widespread power outages where recovery efforts rely on a team of well-trained and experienced personnel.Disasters like Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico hig ...

  4. Collaborative VR/AR Data Visualization Tool

    SBC: Woodruff Scientific, Inc.            Topic: 21c

    Computational physicists and diagnosticians need to analyze 3D data to gain understanding of their simulations or diagnostic results.Visualizing 3D Physics effects by use of 2D screens can limit understanding or even create misunderstandings.Communication of results between collaborators can be difficult when using 2D images or movies, sent by email with written explanations: one finds oneself rep ...

  5. Revisiting Pipe Component Design

    SBC: CONTINUUM DYNAMICS INC            Topic: 33j

    Under recent economic pressures, the nuclear power industry has explored options to reduce costs and increase electricity generation. One overlooked area where lost power output can be recaptured and attendant problems (e.g., flow-induced vibration) addressed is the main steam piping system. The technology underlying this system is essentially over a 100 years old, and incentives to improve pipe c ...

  6. Catalytic Oxidative Upcycling of Plastic Waste and Heat Integration using Chemical Looping Systems

    SBC: Bio2Electric, LLC            Topic: 08b

    Plastics, or polymers, are ubiquitous, resilient and low-cost materials with wide-reaching applications from healthcare to construction. However, as plastics production has increased twenty-fold over the last 50 years and much of the waste ends up in the environment and in ever- growing landfills, leading to a mounting ecological and economic problem. Only a small quantity of waste plastics is rec ...

  7. 3e Swept External Cavity Quantum Cascade Lasers for Remote Detection

    SBC: OPTICSLAH, LLC            Topic: 03e

    Rapid and sensitive remote detection of chemicals remains a challenging and currently unmet need for a wide range of monitoring and sensing applications. Remote detection is needed when it is not possible or practical to obtain samples for analysis of chemicals in a laboratory, and thus measurements must be performed without physical access to the source release point. In particular, quantitative ...

  8. Development of nickel rich and concentration gradient cathode materials for high energy density and long cycle-life lithium ion batteries using controlled micro-aerosol pyrolysis

    SBC: HIT NANO INC            Topic: 13a

    Lithium ion batteries (LIBs) are promising candidates for next-generation energy storage and electrified transportation systems. However, continuous growth of cobalt price, low energy density, short lifetime, and high propensity in fire accidents of LIBs creates a big challenge to renewable electricity production and electrification of transportation. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop ...

  9. Zero discharge desalination with mineral recovery using multiple-effect vapor adsorption

    SBC: GreenBlu, Inc.            Topic: 17a

    Desalination is a key tool to address the global water scarcity crisis. Current technologies cannot meet the need for desalination due to high energy demands and toxic brine discharge. For example, global electricity production would need to increase by 5% to power current desalination plants. No commercially viable solutions exist for treating brine, therefore is often discharged into the environ ...

  10. Atomic Force Microscope Active Optical Probe for Single-Molecule Imaging and Time-Resolved Optical Spectroscopy

    SBC: Actoprobe LLC            Topic: 08b

    While science and technology fields greatly benefit from Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in surface characterization, time-resolved chemical imaging on the single-molecule level, e.g., Near-Field Scanning Optical Spectroscopy and Ultrafast Tip-Enhanced Spectroscopy, lags far behind — current scanning probe microscopy only obtains information about mechanical, but not chemical/optical properties. T ...
