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. Mitigation of Contact Lenses, Eye Surgery, Pupil Dilation, and Other Challenges in Iris Recognition

    SBC: PROGENY SYSTEMS, LLC            Topic: HSB0111005

    Iris recognition is an established and successful biometric technology. It is used in clearing travelers in the UK, for border control in the UAE, and as a part of India`s Unique ID program. However, there are still significant challenges to be addressed as iris recognition matures to successfully handle ongoing national-scale applications. Our recent work has documented challenges involving pupil ...

  2. Identification of Test Materials and Test Plan for Improved Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus Face Piece Lenses

    SBC: MPR Associates, Inc.            Topic: HSB0111006

    Currently, SCBA lenses are made from high-heat polycarbonate with a maximum service temperature rating of 275 deg F to 383 deg F. However, first responders may encounter temperatures due to fire reaching 1000 deg F to 1400 deg F at face level with a heat flux density of about 2.2 W/sq-cm. Developing a more durable, high-heat resistant lens will significantly improve firefighter safety and enable f ...

  3. Network Survivability, Recovery & Reconstitution (NS2R)

    SBC: Centripetal Networks, Inc.            Topic: HSB0102003

    Centripetal Networks, Inc. (CNI) will research and develop a Network Protection System (NPS) capable of providing a Network Survivability, Recovery, and Reconstitution (NS2R) service requested by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). NS2R will help the DHS achieve its mission to secure, protect, and defend US Internet infrastructure. This NPS builds on CNI's successful completion of the SBIR ...

  4. Acoustic Vector Sensor

    SBC: PROGENY SYSTEMS, LLC            Topic: HSB0112001

    U.S. Customs and Border Protection wants to extend unattended ground sensor (UGS) functionality to provide a real-time capability to track targets of interest. Progeny will develop Acoustic Vector Sensor (AVS) as a low-cost and low-power augment sensor to track airborne targets, with a small covert form factor and connecting to other UGS with a standard serial data and power interface. AVS has a c ...

  5. Development of liquid-polymer grafted wipes for improved surface sampling of chemical agents

    SBC: XPLOSAFE LLC            Topic: HSB0112002

    The proposed research and development activities will determine the scientific, technical, and commercial feasibility of the use of solvent-free liquid polymer-grafted surface wipes as novel materials that more efficiently removes low volatility chemical agent contamination from porous and absorptive surfaces than current materials.. The polymers will be able to extend into pores and dissolve the ...

  6. Iris Image Quality Tool Suite for Biometric Recognition

    SBC: PROGENY SYSTEMS, LLC            Topic: HSB0112005

    Iris recognition is an established and successful biometric technology. It is used in clearing travelers in the UK, for border control in the UAE, and as a part of Indias Unique ID program. However, there remain significant challenges to be addressed as iris recognition matures into a viable technology which can successfully handle applications at a national level. One such important issue that th ...

  7. Natural Language Processing and Prioritization for Contextual Symbolic Rendering

    SBC: Digital Sandbox Inc.            Topic: HSB0112006

    With the desire to be prepared for possible threat scenarios, DHS has access to data, but it can be disparate with a mix of structured and unstructured data in very large quantities. Information from a variety of sources needs to be ingested and processed in order to determine the "what, when, where, and how bad", then presented geospatially for monitoring and analysis purposes. Constructing and m ...

  8. Portable Active Thermographic Coating Inspection System

    SBC: Fuchs Consulting Inc            Topic: 091FH2

    This proposal seeks to produce a unique thermographic coating inspection system that is customized for the inspection of bridge coatings. The system uses active thermography where IR sources are used to provide controlled heating to a coating system. The presence of a defect in a coating system will result in differences in heat flow, which can be imaged with an infrared camera. An off-the-shel ...

  9. Long Term Behavior, Failure Analysis & In-Service Testing of Composite Cylinders

    SBC: TEXAS RESEARCH INSTITUTE , AUSTIN, INC.            Topic: 101PH1

    TRI proposes to develop reliable methodology and protocols for in-service inspection,recertifying and retiring DOT COPVs to maximize service life while ensuring personnel safety. This method must be sufficiently robust to prevent in-service failures, while being straightforward and affordable enough to be conducted at cylinder recertification facilities. To accomplish this with a high degree of co ...

  10. Development of a non-destructive, quantitative residual stress assessment tool

    SBC: Generation 2 Materials Technology Llc            Topic: 111PH2

    A nondestructive tool will be developed to quatitatively assess residual stress in pipelines from the exterior and through coatings. Residual stress is a critical factor that determines the cracking susceptibility of pipeline steels, but existing methods for measuring mechanical damage in pipeline steels are incapable of quantifying the residual stress levels. A larger gouge or dent does not nec ...
