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. 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 ...

  2. 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. Low Loss Polymer Optical Fiber and Components for High Speed Optical Networks

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: 01b

    This DOE SBIR program would develop a manufacturing process to produce plastic optical fibers with bandwidth, bend loss and ease of installation significantly improved over currently available products. Current polymer optical fibers are manufactured using bulk polymer processing methods. These methods limit the types of fiber waveguides that may be formed, so significantly l ...

  6. Metrology for Industry for use in the Manufacture of Grazing Incidence Beam Line Mirrors

    SBC: InSync, Inc.            Topic: 04c

    Innovative, fast, ultraprecise and affordable metrology instruments are needed to ensure that grazing incidence optics can meet emerging requirements for DOE Basic Energy Sciences (BES) synchrotron and FEL x-ray light sources. Currently, there is not a suitable instrument available in the United States that will allow manufacturers to produce such demanding optics. This PH I SBIR will focus on de ...

  7. Electro-optic jitter and pulse characterization for X-ray free-electron laser sources

    SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 08b

    Mesa Photonics proposes a new method for online diagnostics at x-ray free electron laser facilities. This diagnostic can be fully automated, switching among alignment, jitter measurements, and pulse characterization. In this SBIR project, Mesa Photonics will develop a new diagnostic for measuring the time arrival between optical and x-ray ultrafast pulses. This technology is critical for the dev ...

  8. Development of a Novel IR Detector for Improved CO2 Subsurface Sequestration Monitoring

    SBC: AMETHYST RESEARCH INC            Topic: 15a

    Low cost and accurate monitoring of sequestered gases such as CO2 is critical to insure that sequestered gases are not reentering the atmosphere. Management requires, in part, improved atmospheric and ground monitoring of greenhouse gases through sensors capable of measuring the flux, concentration and the carbon isotope of CO2 with high accuracy. These Monitoring, Verification and Accounting ...

  9. SiC for Nuclear Parts

    SBC: MATERIALS MODIFICATIONS INC            Topic: 16b

    Generation IV Gas-Cooled Reactors require advanced structural materials capable of resisting extreme conditions of radiation exposure, high heat flux, corrosive environments and thermo- mechanical stresses. Metallic alloys such as stainless steel and Zircaloy used in fabricating fuel assembly grids, nozzles, strainers and spacers for generation IV Gas-Cooled Reactors, run the risk of melting when ...

  10. Inexpensive instrument for in situ cloud droplet/drizzle characterization

    SBC: VISTA PHOTONICS, INC.            Topic: 17e

    Stratus and stratocumulus clouds with low drop concentration and large drop diameter are scientifically very important, because this is the regime in which drizzle drops are formed. The formation of drizzle can lead to a rapid modification of the cloud droplet size distribution, which in turn has a strong influence on the cloud & apos;s radiative properties. Because stratus and stratocumulus cl ...
