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. Dynamic IR Window Film to Improve Window Energy Efficiency

    SBC: IR Dynamics            Topic: DEFOA0001429

    IR Dynamics, LLC will develop a low-cost nanomaterial technology to be incorporated into flexible window films that will improve thermal insulation and solar heat gain. The team's nanomaterial will incorporate two materials. First, low-cost nanosheets will increase thermal resistance. Second, a new type of nanomaterial will allow heat, in the form of infrared radiation (IR) from the sun, to pass t ...

  2. Binary Metal Ceramic Tubes for Accident Tolerant LWR Fuel Cladding

    SBC: CERAMIC TUBULAR PRODUCTS, LLC            Topic: 30

    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 in ...

  3. 3-D Printing of Nuclear Fuel Assembly Nozzles and End-Spacer Grids

    SBC: INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES INTERNATIONAL, INC.            Topic: 30

    Cost and time associated with material waste, quality control, inspection, and manufacturing of nuclear fuel assembly components can detrimental to nuclear plant design and development. Specifically, spacer grids and nozzles are prime component examples that inherently carry these issues due to their complex geometries. The design engineer must always weigh the manufacturing practices against the ...

  4. Nanophotonics Enhanced Direct Solar Membrane Distillation Process for Desalination of Water

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 09

    In the United States, desalination and membrane technologies are used to augment municipal water supply, produce high-quality industrial water supplies, and reclaim contaminated supplies. Since the electricity expenses represent one-third to one-half of the operating cost of many desalination technologies, the energy intensity raises concerns about greenhouse gas emissions and the usefulness of th ...

  5. Low-Noise Amplifiers and Superconducting Flex Circuits for Frequency Domain Multiplexed Readout of Detector Arrays

    SBC: STAR CRYOELECTRONICS, LLC            Topic: 28

    A recent report of the 25-member Particle Physics Project Prioritization Panel (P5) recommends funding cosmic microwave background (CMB) experiments under all budget scenarios, specifically, the next-generation ground-based CMB experimental program whose aim is to provide definitive measurements of the early universe. For this program, large focal plane arrays with ~100,000 detectors and associate ...

  6. Safety Software Assurance Compliance verification and Risk Evaluation (S-SACRE)

    SBC: Tri-Guard Risk Solutions, LTD            Topic: 30

    Most digital systems being software intensive are also vulnerable to attacks that exploit software weaknesses. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, “exploiting weaknesses in digital technology could be the most attractive route for those terrorists seeking to attack nuclear facilities without fear of interdiction.” Recent publicized events about cyber-attack on critical infrast ...

  7. Non-radiative recombination pathways in non-carcinogenic quantum dot composites

    SBC: UBIQD INC            Topic: 07b

    Owing to their spectrally narrow and high quantum yield photoluminescence, colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals, also known as quantum dots (QDs), are attractive replacements for the broadly emitting white-light phosphors used today that are typically composed of earth-rare elements. Three main factors limit the application of quantum dots as down-conversion phosphors for solid-state lighting: 1) ...

  8. Cloud droplet characterization instrument for small aerial platforms

    SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 17a

    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's radiative properties. Because stratus and stratocumulus clouds cover ...

  9. Ceramic-to-Metal Joining for High Temperature, High Pressure Heat Exchangers

    SBC: Electron Technologies, Inc            Topic: 15d

    Economical and efficient heat transfer technologies applicable to high-temperature, high-pressure conditions are a common requirement for advanced fossil energy power generation systems. High temperature and high pressure ceramic heat exchangers can improve cycle performance and improve durability. Ceramic components perform poorly in tension, requiring specialized engineering, in particular with ...

  10. Novel Hydrocarbon Ionomers for Durable Proton Exchange Membranes

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: 12c

    The Department of Fuel Cell Technology Office has identified a need for durable, low cost membranes that offer enhanced energy efficiency to power zero emission vehicles. Specifically, a cost effective alternative to expensive commercial perfluorosulfonic acid ionomers are sought. Current affordable hydrocarbon membranes do not yet offer the performance or durability needed for fuel cell vehicle m ...
