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. In-Soil Hatching and Propagation of Commercially Marketable Earthworm Cocoons

    SBC: Advanced Prairie, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    "The beneficial effects of earthworms on soil structure, chemistry, microbiology, and crop yield are well demonstrated. Advanced Prairie, Inc. has developed a method of harvesting and encapsulating earthworm cocoons to make them available for mass market distribution. A previous SBIR proposal demonstrated the storage (at least five months) and shipping viability of the encapsulated cocoons. The pr ...

  2. Plant Expression of Cellulase for Biomass Ethanol Production

    SBC: Edenspace Systems Corporation            Topic: N/A

    "Edenspace Systems Corporation seeks to achieve a substantial decrease in the production costs of cellulosic ethanol biofuel by engineering a promising biofuel crop, switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), with up to three different genes that produce cellulases. When activated by heat, these enzymes break down biomass cellulose into simple sugars that can serve as biofuel feedstocks. Microbially-produ ...

  3. Low Cost, High Performance Spectroscopic Ammonia Sensor for Livestock Emissions Monitoring

    SBC: Ekips Technologies, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    "The National Research Council has concluded that ammonia is a major concern for air quality at global, national and regional scales. In the US, livestock operations are believed to contribute over 80% of the total emissions of ammonia. Specific interest in ammonia emissions from livestock operations stems from concerns with the negative impacts of high ammonia levels on air quality and environmen ...

  4. Breath Alkanes in Bovine

    SBC: Ekips Technologies, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    "This project will test the feasibility of a breath alkane as an indicator of respiratory health in bovine. Significant losses due to bovine respiratory disease (BRD) occur in the U.S. beef industry with estimated annual losses at $1 billion due to higher medical costs, decreased weight gain, lower quality meat and death. BRD is highly transmittable and accounts for approximately 75% of morbidity ...

  5. Increasing the Market for Small Tobacco Farmers by Using Tobacco as a Corrosion-Inhibiting Additive to Road Salt

    SBC: INHIBITROL, INC.            Topic: N/A

    "The traditional markets for small tobacco farmers are decreasing. Either new markets for tobacco must be identified and developed or the farmers must switch to other crops. One potential new market for tobacco is an additive to road salt to reduce corrosion of infrastructure and vehicles. Degradation of bridge decks and other reinforced concrete structures predominately involves the corrosion of ...

  6. Low Cost Production of Yeast from Heat-stabilized Defatted Rice Bran

    SBC: Nutraceutical Innovations, LLC            Topic: N/A

    This Phase I project focuses on the economic production of yeast in an automated bio-reactor using rice bran as an energy and nutrient source. Rice bran is an under-utilized, abundantly available, low-cost co-product of the rice milling process and is currently used almost exclusively as an inexpensive additive in animal feed. The use of heat-stabilized defatted rice bran (HDRB) for the production ...

  7. A Process for Printing Activity to Food Contact Surfaces

    SBC: PROVE IT, LLC            Topic: N/A

    Perhaps the most critical safety function of food packaging is to prevent microbial recontamination of foods made shelf-stable by some processing method. Such protection is considered passive in that the packaging material simply provides a physical barrier to the reentry of microorganisms. However, it is within the capacity of packaging and other food-contact surfaces to play an ameli ...

  8. Heating Using Small-Scale Wind Power

    SBC: smartenergy ltd.            Topic: N/A

    The contribution of wind energy to the nations energy portfolio is limited despite an increased interest in renewable energy by both individual consumers and governments. At the same time, the prices for fossil fuel energy sources used in heating are rising at an increasing rate. This research supports the development of a system that uses energy from wind to supply heat to individual buildings. I ...

  9. Surface Enhanced Raman Scattering For Field

    SBC: American Research Corporation of Virginia            Topic: N/A

    The use of sub-therapeutic concentrations of anti-microbial agents in animal feed has contributed to theproductivity of the U.S. meat and dairy industries by preventing infectious diseases, by decreasing theamount of feed required and by increasing the rate of animal weight gain. However, failure to observerecommended practices of drug withdrawal can result in concentrations of antibiotic residue ...

  10. Development Of A Ready-to-assemble

    SBC: Blue Ridge Timberwrights            Topic: N/A

    The ready-to-assemble (RTA) construction system is a new method for assembling wood structuresbuilt from the following engineered wood products: parallel strand lumber (PSL), laminated strandlumber (LSL), and laminated veneer lumber (LVL). The RTA system is designed for rapid assemblyby small crews of unskilled labor using common hand tools. The design of the RTA systemincorporates engineered w ...
