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. Natural Products for the Control of Insects, Mites, and Nematodes

    SBC: AgraQuest, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Agriculture needs biorational pesticides to serve as replacements in an industry dominated by outdated synthetic chemicals. Residues in the food supply, environmental impact, and worker safety issues underscore the need for novel pesticides. Without a range of products with unique modes of action, the overuse of limited chemicals and biorational approaches (Bacillus thuringiensis-based transgenic ...

  2. A Device to Package a Semi-Solid Diet for Rearing Arthropod Predators

    SBC: BENEFICIAL INSECTARY, INC.            Topic: N/A

    A new semisolid artificial diet enclosed in membranes that allow feeding by the predacious green lacewing, Chrysoperla rufilabris, has been invented by USDA/ARS scientist A. Cohen. Phase I studies conducted by Beneficial Insectary showed that the Cohen diet in the Cohen food pack was superior in several key areas to the live insect diet currently used for commercial mass rearing of C. rufilabris. ...

  3. Improvement of a Bio-PCR Test for Routine Detection of Watermelon Fruit Blotch Pathogen

    SBC: CalSPL            Topic: N/A

    Fruit blotch is a serious seedborne disease of watermelon. In an attempt to control this disease, the seed industry has adopted a zero tolerance of infected seeds. Available tests for detecting infected seeds include grow-out, liquid plating, classical PCR tests. These tests are either not sensitive enough, resulting in false negative, not specific enough, resulting in false positives, or are very ...

  4. Production of Crown Gall Resistant Plants

    SBC: Dry Creek Laboratories            Topic: N/A

    Crown gall is a multimillion dollar worldwide problem in fruit and nut orchards, vineyards, and nurseries. Tumors result from overproduction of auxin and cytokinin in plant cells transformed by Agrobacterium tumefaciens. These high phytohormone levels result from expression of three genes transferred stably into the plant genome from A. tumefaciens: iaaM, iaaH, and ipt. Inactivation of iptand eith ...

  5. Treatment of MeBr Off-Gas

    SBC: Energy Resource Institute            Topic: N/A

    Methyl bromide is an effective fumigant that has been in use since the 1930s. However, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency will soon prohibit the production and importation of methyl bromide because it has been found to be a significant ozone depleting substance. Although a number of significant research efforts have been conducted to find alternatives for soil and post-harvest fumigation, so ...

  6. Automated Grain Inspection System

    SBC: Horizon Technology Group, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    A demonstration cable of an automated grain instrumentation system (AGIS) will be fabricated, installed, and tested in a concrete silo at USDA-ARS-GMPRC. AGIS comprises cable-borne insect and moisture temperature sensor modules, signal processing and control electronics, and a wireless data link. Insect, moisture, and temperature data will be sent to a Stored Grain Advisor (SGA) computer at GMPRC. ...

  7. Paper Conservation by New Mass Deacification Techniques

    SBC: IFT Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Stored books and papers are being destroyed by acid deterioration and embrittlement at alarming rates. The 1991 "A Preservation Plan for the National Agriculture Library reports that 53% of volumes in that library are either entirely or partially deteriorated due to this process. The continual reprinting and copying that is needed to preserve documents, impacts the use of forest products. This Sma ...

  8. Maximizing Specificity of Red Imported Fire Ant Baits with Species-Specific Semiochemicals

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

    A major pest in domestic, public, and agricultural environments Solenopsis invicta, the Red imported fire ant (RIFA), is currently being controlled with food-based baits that also affect non-target organisms, many of which are beneficial. We propose the use blends of semiochemicals modifiers of RIFA behaviors to increase bait specificity. RIFA workers preferentially picked up, transported and reta ...

  9. Maximizing Nutrient Utilization of High-Energy Feeds in Striped Bass Aquaculture

    SBC: KENT SEATECH CORPORATION            Topic: N/A

    We will conduct research on nutrition and food intake regulation mechanism in hybrid striped bass. We will determine: 1) how dietary energy density, satiated feeding, energy-to-protein ratios, fish size, and temperature affect food and energy consumption rates; 2) how "high-energy" diets can improve growth and feed conversion; and 3) how these diets affect fish health, effluent water quality, and ...

  10. Micro-Infusion Technology to Improve Efficacy of Pheromone to Manage Spruce Bark Beetles

    SBC: Med-e-cell            Topic: N/A

    Spruce bark beetle epidemics are responsible for the destruction of millions of acres of forests, which threaten critical habitat for endangered species, campgrounds, and create fire hazards. Since insecticides are not practical for treating this insect in forests, pest management strategies have been developed using semiochemicals. However, inconsistent field performance has limited the success o ...
