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. Portable nitrous oxide sensor for understanding agricultural and soil emissions

    SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC            Topic: 18c

    Nitrous oxide is the third most important greenhouse gas (GHG,) with an atmospheric lifetime of ~114 years and a global warming impact ~300 times greater than that of CO2. The main cause of nitrous oxides atmospheric increase is anthropogenic emissions, and over 80% of the current global anthropogenic flux is related to agriculture, including associated land-use change. An accurate assessment of N ...

  2. Wireless Sensors for In-Situ Dry Cask Storage Monitoring

    SBC: ENGENIUSMICRO LLC            Topic: 21b

    Embedded sensors are needed to monitor conditions in high-temperature industrial and power generation equipment. Existing sensor technology is limited by electronics and materials used to manufacture the sensors or by interrogation range in these environments. Developing sensors to overcome both temperature and range limitations would improve process control and efficiency by enabling access to da ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Rapid isotopic analysis using heterodyne laser induced breakdown spectroscopy

    SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 24a

    Isotopic analysis of suspect materials is an effective tool for identifying and characterizing nuclear. Isotope ratios of uranium, plutonium, lithium, and hydrogen are particularly informative for distinguishing fuel for nuclear power plants from weapons-grade material. Existing instrumentation capable of measuring isotope ratios to high precision and accuracy is expensive, bulky, and requires ...

  8. Mitigation of sand mold related metal casting defects through virtual manufacturing

    SBC: Mold Dynamics            Topic: 02a

    Metal casting is an important manufacturing process and most castings are made by small to mid-sized foundries. Sand molded castings account for 85% of all iron and steel castings produced and approximately 5 out of 30 major casting defects including gas blows and sand burn-on are related to poor sand mold atmosphere control. Mold atmosphere control should become more crucial in the coming years a ...

  9. Standoff Detection of Radiological Materials using Light Filaments

    SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC            Topic: 27a

    The ability to detect radiological materials at standoff distances of a kilometer or more would be invaluable to national security and nonproliferation efforts. In particular, it is important to be able to distinguish isotopes of uranium and other elements associated with nuclear weapons development and use. Current methods for identifying radiological isotopes require direct sampling. Laser ba ...

  10. Diamond sensor for the neutron electric dipole moment experiment

    SBC: SOUTHWEST SCIENCES INC            Topic: 39g

    As part of its mission to understand the fundamental forces and particles of nature as manifested in nuclear matter, DOE is funding an experiment to measure the electric dipole moment of neutron. This sophisticated experiment tests the standard model by monitoring the response of neutrons in crossed electric and magnetic fields. This Phase I project will investigate a method for measuring the str ...
