The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. 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 ...

  2. 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 ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. Advanced Carbon Electrode Materials for Superior Ultracapacitors

    SBC: nCarbon, Inc.            Topic: 13d

    Car and fleet vehicle manufacturers must increase the average fuel efficiency of their vehicles. A viable, low cost solution is Micro-Hybrid technology. Micro-Hybrids are capable of shutting down their engine when coasting and stopped, and then rapidly restarting to move the vehicle forward, offering the highest marginal ROI for improving fuel efficiency of any hybridization design. Micro-Hybrid v ...

  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. High Resolution Diffraction Imaging of Natural Fracture Zones in Unconventional Shale Reservoirs for Well Placement Optimization

    SBC: Z-Terra Inc.            Topic: 15c

    In 2000, shale gas represented just 1 percent of American natural gas supplies. Today, it is 30 percent and the percentage keeps increasing. The technology to drill and fracture the shale formations is now exported to the rest of the world, increasing the national oil and gas reserves in many other countries. The thickness of the shale formations is often just a few hundred feet, so new high-r ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. 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 ...

  9. 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 ...

  10. Self-Contained Blood Irradiator using Flat Panel X-ray Source

    SBC: STELLARRAY INC            Topic: 22a

    The National Academy of Sciences issued a report in February 2008 detailing isotope replacement priorities in the interests of national security [National Research Council, 2008] . 137Cs used in self-contained irradiators was identified as the single most dangerous isotope in the inventory, owing to its long half life (30+ years) and production as cesium chloride salt, which means it ...
