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. Practical Multi-Step Turbulent-Combustion Model for Fuel-Flexible Gas

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: 55c

    DOE¿s FutureGen Initiative involves the development and demonstration of fuel-flexible gas turbine combustors that burn fuels with high hydrogen concentrations (e.g. syngas or pure hydrogen). Combustion goals include high efficiency and low emissions (NOx < 2 ppmv). Advanced Large Eddy Simulation (LES) analysis is expected to play an important role in developing fuel-flexible combustion technolog ...

  2. Fuels from Biomass Using Unique Micro/Nano Systems

    SBC: Dune Sciences, Inc.            Topic: 26b

    The U.S has established a goal to replace 30% of our current petroleum consumption with renewable fuels by 2030. Current technology cannot meet this goal due to (1) limitations in potential feedstock supplies (corn-based ethanol), (2) prohibitive costs, and (3) immature or non-existent technologies. Therefore, new cost-effective technologies that can convert cellulosic biomass are required. This p ...

  3. Neodymium-Containing Single Crystals for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Detection

    SBC: Integrated Photonics, Inc.            Topic: 37b

    The Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Underground Detector has been identified by DOE as a high scientific priority. Unfortunately, the current generation of proposed experiments to determine neutrino mass would require 500 kg of germanium (Ge) that is isotopically enriched to 86% in 76Ge. The cost of this specialized Ge would exceed $100 million. 150Nd is an alternate parent isotope for neutrinoless ...

  4. Electrochemical Microalloying of Tungsten for Plasma Facing Component Applications

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: 31a

    Tungsten and its alloys are candidates for plasma-facing-component heat sinks and armor used in fusion energy systems, due to their low sputtering rate, high melting point, high thermal conductivity, high strength at elevated temperatures, and low tritium inventory. However, tungsten¿s inherent low ductility makes it difficult to fabricate plasma facing components and limits its use as a struct ...

  5. Remote Sensing through Imaging Polarimetry for Nuclear Non-Proliferation

    SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 44a

    Remote sensing technologies are used to identify activities associated with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Remote sensing requires the extraction of as much information as possible from the available measured energy, in order to identify objects of interest in the scene. Polarization is a fundamental property of light that is not typically exploited because of the additional dif ...

  6. Xylose Utilization During Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation Enabled by a Parallel Microreactor with Immobilized Enzyme

    SBC: Trillium Fiber Fuels, Inc.            Topic: 10b

    One prominent challenge for the biochemical production of cellulosic ethanol is the utilization of xylose, which can increase ethanol yield 20-40% for typical feedstocks. Efforts toward genetic engineering of conventional yeast to utilize xylose have suffered from metabolic redox imbalance. This project will develop a technology for utilizing an industrial enzyme, glucose isomerase (GI), for the c ...

  7. High Resolution, 15-micron thin, Pixellated, Back-illuminated SOI CMOS Vertex Sensor

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: 34

    Planned high energy physics (HEP) experiments require improvements in detector technology characterized by improved parameters for granularity, readout speed, radiation hardness and sensor thickness. Of the available detector technologies, Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) pixilated imagers offer several advantages, but CMOS detectors, due to readout and fixed pattern noise, have not ...

  8. Large Area, High Dynamic Range, Sold State Photomultiplier Array for Cherenkov Calorimetry

    SBC: VOXTEL, INC.            Topic: 34

    Existing solid state detectors, such as charge coupled device (CCD) and complimentary metal oxide silicon (CMOS) imagers do not have adequate ultraviolet (UV) sensitivity for Cherenkov radiation detection. Therefore, a new type of UV-optimized, high-gain, low-noise, solid state avalanche photodiode (APD) is needed for low-level light detection of Cherenkov radiation. In recent years, silicon, CMO ...

  9. Enhancing Homologous Recombination in Plants Through the Use of Custom Endonucleases

    SBC: Advanced Genome Technologies, Llc            Topic: 48

    Homologous recombination (HR) permits the precise insertion, deletion, or substitution of genetic material in the genome of an organism. HR offers numerous opportunities for modifying plant genomes to enhance our understanding of plant gene function and regulation, especially with respect to enhancing the production of biofuels. Although HR normally occurs at very low frequencies, approximately ...

  10. Reducing the Effective Filament Diameter of Niobium-Tin Superconductors

    SBC: Alabama Cryogenic Engineering, Inc.            Topic: 33

    Niobium tin superconductors have had large improvements in current density over the past few years. However, the effective filament diameters of these conductors are too large, which can limit their application in areas such as High Energy Physics Colliders, Fusion Devices, and laboratory electromagnets. The filament diameter limits have been shown to be caused by fundaments limits in the cold d ...
