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. Low Energy Comminution of Herbaceous Biomass Feedstocks

    SBC: FOREST CONCEPTS LLC            Topic: 813

    Size reduction, or comminution, is a fundamental processing step for lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks used as a raw material for conversion to biofuels. Grinding or milling of herbaceous materials such as corn stover, switchgrass, miscanthus and other biofuel feedstocks consumes a lot of energy, produces particle shapes that are difficult to handle, requires dry raw material, and often results i ...

  2. Advanced Control System for Biofuel Combustion

    SBC: ENERTECHNIX, INC.            Topic: 81

    Combustion of biomass, especially in small-scale applications, produces high emissions of particulate matter (PM) that have been linked to adverse health effects and global climate change. Current industrial particulate control solutions are prohibitively expensive for use in small scale biomass burners. To overcome these challenges, inexpensive and effective combustion control solutions for small ...

  3. Electrosedation and rested harvest as strategies to improve the quality of farm-raised fish

    SBC: Smith-root, Inc.            Topic: 87

    Traditional chemical sedatives for the processing of farm-raised fish are considered animal drugs that are subject to specific regulations and usage constraints (as well as chemical-bath disposal concerns). As an alternative, we propose to evaluate the use of mild, non-lethal electrosedation techniques to narcotize farm-raised fish in an effort to evaluate the technologys potential to reduce pre-h ...

  4. Enhancing rural small business opportunities by developing a low cost heat source and developing the utilization of char as a soil amendment

    SBC: SYNTHIGEN, LLC            Topic: 86

    Rural communities that rely on, and are part of an agricultural-based economy where seed and grain cleaning facilities operate are plentiful in the Pacific Northwest and other parts of the U.S. Creating new opportunities for employment and income generation in these communities is frequently difficult because it can require considerable amounts of capital investment and new market development. We ...

  5. Moving baffle for improving solids transport and reducing labor costs and phosphorous discharge in aquaculture raceways

    SBC: AEB ENGINEERING LLC            Topic: N/A

    Flow-through raceways have velocities below that needed to remove solids from rearing areas and thus require intermittent, manual sweeping to remove the solids producing long solid residence times and exposure to mechanical breakage which results in increased phosphorous leaching and poor fish health. This SBIR proposal offers a novel moving baffle as a new technology to solve these concerns. Prel ...

  6. Improving Rice Abiotic Stress Tolerance

    SBC: Arcadia Biosciences, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    Abiotic stresses such as drought, soil salinization and temperature extremes are the most important factors limiting crop yields worldwide. Impending climate change threatens to exacerbate the impact of abiotic stresses and jeopardize future food supplies. Despite intense effort, plant breeders have had difficulty in breeding for improved abiotic stress tolerance. In addition, plant biologists hav ...

  7. Low Cost and Environmentally Compliant (Air and Water Emissions) On-Site Dairy Manure Management Composting Technology

    SBC: ENGINEERED COMPOST SYSTEMS INC            Topic: N/A

    Title: Development of a Low Cost and Environmentally Effective On-Site Dairy Manure Management Composting Technology. Directors: Timothy ONeill, President, Engineered Compost Systems Problem: Dairies face restrictive air and water quality regulations for manure, and compliance represents a significant cost. To remain competitive, dairies need manure management systems that are: 1. Economically via ...

  8. Rapid Immunoassay for the Detection of the Bacterium Producing Necrotizing Hepatopancreatitis in Cultured Penaeid Shrimp

    SBC: Inbios International Inc            Topic: N/A

    Aquaculture of shrimp is a multi-billion dollar business worldwide. Infection of shrimp grown by aquaculture with the organism leading to Necrotizing HepatoPancreatitis (NHP) is frequently encountered in North, Central and South America and can lead to devastating economic consequences if not detected early. Current methods for testing require shipping samples to centralized laboratories to perfor ...

  9. A New Concept for Removal of Phosphorus from Dairy Farm Waste

    SBC: Multiform Harvest Inc            Topic: N/A

    The proposed project addresses the problem of over-application of phosphorus to cropland by dairy farms who irrigate their cropland with livestock wastewater. Dairy farmers who have been over-applying phosphorus are facing environmental restrictions to reduce phosphorus. There have been no cost-effective options for those who need to reduce most. Expansion of irrigated acreage will solve the probl ...

  10. Package Integrity & Quality Sensor

    SBC: PHOTONIC BIOSYSTEMS, INC            Topic: N/A

    Packaging using modified atmospheres or vacuum is commonly used to preserve food quality and appearance. Quality control monitoring at the point of packaging using destructive package gas sampling is critical to ensure product quality, however, does not ensure that package integrity is maintained through handling, shipping and placement. A low-cost means to non-invasively monitor the gas content o ...
