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. Green Electropolishing for Niobium SRF Cavities

    SBC: BLACK LABORATORIES LLC            Topic: 36a

    The ability of nuclear physics research to continue to make a significant impact on the scientific community relies on advances in accelerator performance, particularly on improvements in superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities. In order to obtain optimal performance, the inner surfaces of the SRF cavities must be clean, smooth, and free of damage. However, current methods of treating the s ...

  2. Feasibility of Commercialization of a Pre-Pretreatment Process for Enhanced Biomass Saccharification

    SBC: SuGanit Systems Inc.            Topic: 13a

    Current methods to break-down biomass into simple sugars for fermentation constitute the core barrier to the production of ethanol with minimal energy and water input, and waste output. In particular, the present practice of enzymatically hydrolyzing biomass into its constituent sugars in aqueous media suffers from slow reaction rates. This project will develop an ionic liquid pretreatment process ...

  3. Automated Categorization of Web-Based Content Along Multiple Dimensions

    SBC: Deep Web Technologies, Llc            Topic: 54a

    Both private companies and government agencies are faced with an enormous amount of text documents that are distributed over a network of computers and databases. Searching for specific documents is essential to the success of these organizations. Websites such as ScienceEducation.gov indicate that it is beneficial for content to be categorized to make it easier for users to find relevant informat ...

  4. Leveraging Wikipedia to Create a Comprehensive Science & Technology Encyclopedia

    SBC: Deep Web Technologies, Llc            Topic: 54a

    The Department of Energy provides scientists, researchers, and the public with search engine access to high quality scientific and technical content. Because much of the content is highly technical in nature, many users require encyclopedia-quality background information. This project will develop and deploy software that integrates the best scientific and technical reference articles from Wikiped ...

  5. Aqueous Phase Base-Facilitated-Reforming (BFR) of Renewable Fuels

    SBC: Directed Technologies, Inc.            Topic: 22a

    The primary industrial hydrogen production method today is Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) of natural gas (NG) at medium centralized facilities. This method has several shortcomings: (1) the natural gas feedstock is not renewable, (2) carbon emissions require costly mitigation systems to be compliant with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulations, (3) reformation results in a dilute hyd ...

  6. A Novel Method for Phytoextraction and Phytostabilization of Environmental Mercury

    SBC: Edenspace Systems Corporation            Topic: 38b

    Because environmental mercury poses significant challenges to global public health, reducing mercury levels in air, soil, and water is an international priority. However, the widespread distribution of mercury (Hg) through the atmosphere makes current methods of addressing Hg contamination ¿ such as excavation and replacement of soil, or pump-and-treat techniques for water ¿ too expensive to be ...

  7. New Technology for Improved Nuclear Energy Systems

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 53a

    Generation-IV nuclear energy systems, especially the very high temperature reactors are planned to operate at temperatures above 1000 degrees C and with neutron fluence up to cm. Accurate temperature measurements will be needed to identify hot spots, control thermal cycles, and perform temperature compensation of sensors, functions that are critical to the safe operation of these reactors. Howev ...

  8. Thermochemical Conversion of Biomass to Chemical Products

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 13c

    The global rise of oil prices in the past few years has resulted in parallel increases in the costs of practically every chemical and petroleum derived material: fuels, fine chemicals, plastics, and pharmaceuticals. New non-traditional and renewable feedstocks for these chemical processes need to be developed for both economic and environmental reasons. This project will demonstrate the techni ...

  9. Nondestructive Characterization of Void Swelling in Reactor Structural Materials

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 05a

    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has recently required that a void swelling surveillance program be in place for austenitic core internals, prior to their unconditional authorization of lifetime extension of current light water reactors. Void swelling was the life-limiting damage mechanism in fast reactors, but sodium-cooled Generation IV and GNEP fast burner reactors will experience exposure to ...

  10. Joining and Hermetic Sealing of SiC End Plugs to SiC Triplex Nuclear Fuel Cladding

    SBC: Fm Technologies Inc            Topic: 05b

    Silicon carbide triplex nuclear fuel cladding is an excellent ceramic structural material for use in high temperature thermal and fast-spectrum nuclear systems, including both current generation light water reactors and Generation 4 advanced reactors. Good mechanical and corrosion performance has been demonstrated in irradiation tests. However, at present there is no a suitable means to seal the e ...
