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. Friction-Stir-Weld Connectors for Cables and Conductors

    SBC: Accelerator Technology Corporation            Topic: 08

    In the present-day network of high-voltage overhead transmission lines, segments of cable are joined by a crimp splice joint, in which the locking of strands in the two cables relies upon a serrate sleeve that is crushed into the cable. The transmission line heats in temperature as it carries electric power, and the span of cable between towers stretches each time the temperature of the cable is i ...

  2. Multifilamentary Round Wires of REBCO Coated Conductors for High Field Accelerators

    SBC: AMPEERS LLC            Topic: 27

    There is substantial interest in the upgrading of the existing High Energy Physics accelerators including the Large Hadron Collider in CERN, Switzerland to higher energy levels so as to probe deeper into the subatomic scale and unlock the mysteries of the Universe. Such upgrades to higher energy levels would require use of High Temperature Superconductor (HTS) magnets which can generate magnetic f ...

  3. 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 ...

  4. An enhanced extremely low frequency triaxial induction tool for fracture diagnostics in open wellbores

    SBC: E-Spectrum Technologies, Inc.            Topic: 19

    Hydraulic fractures must be contained within the target formation so that they do not contact and potentially contaminate sources of drinking water. To mitigate this risk, research is needed to develop technologies that will advance our ability to diagnose, quantify, and map hydraulic fractures and thus help mitigate the danger that hydraulic fracturing results in the contamination of subsurface p ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Silicon Carbide MOSFETs for Electric Vehicle Drive Applications

    SBC: MONOLITH SEMICONDUCTOR INC            Topic: 14

    Silicon Carbide based power electronics have the opportunity to increase the power density and efficiency of on-­‐board electric power conversion electronics for electric vehicles boost converters and electric traction drives. Utilizing these advanced SiC-­‐based power electronics devices is expected to expand range and eventually reduce electric vehicle system costs. However, the current ...

  8. Development of next-generation magnetocaloric materials

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: 12

    The future of the fuel cell market depends on developing new infrastructure for the preparation, transportation, and storage of hydrogen. Liquefaction maximizes storage and transport efficiency, but is particularly challenging in distributed systems because of the extremely low temperatures required. While fuel reformer technology is constantly improving, storing and transporting the fuels for on- ...

  9. Integral tritium barrier for RAFM steel in fusion operations

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: 20

    Plasma fusion promises safer, lower cost, power generation with no carbon emissions. Of concern in all plasma fusion systems is the ability of reduced activation ferritic martensitic (RAFM) structural materials to not only withstand operating conditions but to limit the amount of tritium permeation. Tritium retention/transmission not only creates a safety hazard but also increases operational cost ...

  10. Robust 500 We radioisotope power system

    SBC: NANOHMICS INC            Topic: 32

    Planetary missions (e.g., Pioneer, Cassini, or Voyager) and applications with moderate power draw and increased mobility requirements (e.g., Curiosity) demand ~100s We-class continuous power sources with high reliability and robustness. To avoid the risks and challenges associated with mechanical-to-electrical energy conversion, including the use of working fluids and bearings, solid-state convert ...
