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. Electronic Pasteurization of Meat Patties

    SBC: Accelerator Technology Corporation            Topic: N/A

    Accelerator Technology Corp. proposes to develop a compact, cost-effective elctron-beam disinfestation system for pasteurization of meat patties. The system is designed to be integrated into the production line of a conventional meat patty operation. In such operations, the patties are stamped from sheets of ground meat in rows of 4-5 patties, moving on a conveyor at the rate of ~1 row/second. ...

  2. Quality and Efficiency Improvements of Micropropagation Through Automated Grading

    SBC: Adaptive Equipment, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The U.S. micropropagation industry is a $24 million business supplying starter plant material to greenhouses around the world. However, in order to compete with the increasing numbr of offshore laboratories, U.S. micropropagators must produce higher quality plants more efficiently. The goal of this project is to develop automatic grading technology that will reduce production costs, improve qual ...

  3. Innovative Storage of Carrots for Spring and Summer Markets

    SBC: Advanced Seed Technology            Topic: N/A

    Commercial carrot processors in the Midwest must rely on produce from the South and West during spring and early summer. The quality of these carrots is much poorer than the processors desire, and they must pay a premium price for the out-of-season produce. Their goal is to store locally grown, lower-cost carrots through winter and then use this produce in place of the more expensive carrots fro ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Raman Spectrograph for Field Evaluation of Antibiotic Residues

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

    This proposal suggests the development of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) instrumentation capable of detecting nanogram levels of sulfamethazine per ml of extracted sample. Although the use of subtherapeutic concentrations of anti-microbial agents in animal feed has contributed to the productivity of the U.S. meat and dairy industries by preventing infectious diseases, by decreasing the ...

  7. HIGH-SPEED LASER-BASED FRUIT AND VEGETABLE MATURITY MEASURING SYSTEM

    SBC: Astleford Inc.            Topic: N/A

    AT THE PRESENT TIME, ALL MATURITY SORTING OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES, SUCH AS APPLES, PEACHES ANDTOMATOES, IS ACCOMPLISHED EITHER BY HAND, BY COLOR OR BY THE USE OF THE MAGNESS-TAYLOR . EACH OF THESE TECHNIQUES HAVE MAJOR DISADVANTAGES IN THE HIGH-SPEED MATURITY GRADING OF FRUITS AND VEGETABLES. THE ANNUAL VALUE OF THE THREE NAMED FOOD CROPS ALONE IS IN EXCESS OF ONE BILLION DOLLARS, AND THE OPPORTU ...

  9. Mahimahi Caviar: A New, Sustainable

    SBC: Atlantic Aquaculture            Topic: N/A

    With the breakup of the Soviet Union, sturgeon caviar has become largely unavailable.Shortages of caviar coupled with increasing prices have promoted the production of alternate"caviars" such as paddlefish, lumpfish, whitefish and salmon. Over-exploitation of the sourcefish for these alternate caviars has in many cases resulted in heavily depleted stocks since the fishmust be sacrificed to obtain ...

  10. An Improved Sanitizer For Grade A Shell Eggs

    SBC: Biomedical Development Corporation            Topic: N/A

    The incidence of food borne outbreaks associated with Salmonella has risen steadily since the mid1970's. The monetary cost of salmonellosis has been estimated at $4 billion annually. The primarycause of salmonellosis has been linked to the consumption of eggs or egg products containingSalmonella enteritidis and 80% of all eggs consumed in the United States are transported to thepurchaser in the ...
