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. Accurate Vegetation Subtraction Tools for Disparate Data Products

    SBC: Applied Research LLC            Topic: 03c

    Grass, shrub, and tree all belong to vegetation with similar colors, but the heights can be quite different. Removal of vegetation from digital surface models (DSM) can result in enhanced digital terrain models (DTM). Conventional approaches using LIDAR and radar have achieved some success. However, there are still some challenges for other types of imagers. First, for infrared and RGB images, the ...

  2. Advanced Code for Photocathode Design

    SBC: CALABAZAS CREEK RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 06a

    There are currently no comprehensive computational design tools for developing photocathodes and the electron sources they support. Existing codes do not address the latest photocathode materials, nor do they provide the complete physics related to electron emission. This is complicating design of RF guns and photoinjectors for accelerators and light sources. Statement of how this problem or situa ...

  3. Advanced Light Extraction Material for OLED Lighting

    SBC: Pixelligent Technologies, LLC            Topic: 13c

    One of the major hurdles to the commercialization of OLED lighting technology is its low light extraction efficiency when compared to its inorganic LEDs. Currently only 20 30% of the light produced by the OLED can be extracted. In order to be considered as a commercially viable option, OLED lighting efficacy has to improve dramatically. The mismatch between the refractive indices among the active ...

  8. A Low Cost Multipoint Gas Sensor for Monitoring Subsurface Isotopologues

    SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC            Topic: 21a

    Statement of the Problem Isotopologues are a critical tool in monitoring plant hydrobiogeochemical and microbial systems and processes. The most abundant elements utilized and exchanged by plants, microbes and ecosystems are carbon (C), hydrogen (H), oxygen (O) and nitrogen (N), all of which have naturally occurring stable isotope forms that can be used as natural tracers for understanding and int ...

  9. A MACHINE LEARNING BASED GEOTHERMAL DRILLING OPTIMIZATION SYSTEM USING EM SHORT-HOP TELEMETRY OF BIT DYNAMICS MEASUREMENTS

    SBC: E-Spectrum Technologies, Inc.            Topic: 11a

    There is currently no cost-effective way to accurately measure the forces and accelerations acting on a drill bit in a hard-rock geothermal well and to then transmit that information uphole to the driller in a timeframe that allows its use in optimizing drilling performance. Consequently, drilling tends to be slow and drill bits suffer short lives, so geothermal wells tend to cost much more than o ...

  10. A MICROCOMPUTER-BASED DNA GEL ELECTROPHORESIS IMAGE ANALYSIS

    SBC: Genetics Data Services Inc.            Topic: N/A

    THIS PROJECT IS TO DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT A MICROCOMPUTER-BASED INSTRUMENT FOR QUANTITATING SIZE DISTRIBUTIONS OF NUCLEIC ACIDS (DNA AND RNA) SEPARATED ACCORDING TO SIZE BY GEL ELECTROPHORESIS. THE STARTING POINT FOR ANALYSIS OF FLUORESCENCE-STAINED DNA IN GELS WILL BE THE IMAGE DIGITIZATION OF THE ENTIRE GEL ELECTROPHORETIC PATTERN (OR SPECIFIED PORTIONS OF IT) SO THAT THE RELATIVE INTENSITIES OF F ...
