Award Data
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.

Nanomodified Polymers for the Long-Term Repair and Remediation of CO2 Wellbores
SBC: TS-NANO, INC. Topic: C5513bWellbores that intersect CO2 storage formations represent a potential leakage pathway that can lead to subsurface migration of stored CO2 and/or subsequent venting of stored CO2 to the surface; consequently, repair and remediation of these wellbore is critical for ensuring the permanent storage of CO2 in geologic formations. Repair and remediation operations are particularly challenging for these ...

Resolution-Enhanced Coherent Nonlinear Microscopy of Plant Tissues
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: C5519aBiological imaging with molecular specificity is most often achieved using fluorescent labeling. Fluorescent light for image contrast is also the basis of most optical “super-resolution” techniques that achieve far-field spatial resolution beyond the classical limit. However, non-invasive imaging techniques have been developed that use only native fluorophores, or bypass fluorescence in favor ...

Semiconductor Device Simulation Software with Monte Carlo Based Thermal Transport Modeling
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: C5501bCurrent semiconductor device simulation software adopts Fourier’s law to perform the thermal transport modeling. However, Fourier’s law will become invalid at micro/nano-scale, which can cause a large discrepancy in the thermal and electrical performance between the simulation results and the actual application. To improve the current state-of-the-art, a new semiconductor device simulation sof ...

Rapid and Tunable Cooling Technology for Vacuum Furnaces
SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC Topic: C4918aC49-18a-271181The need for high-temperature furnaces for neutron scattering experiments has been increasing considerably. One of the major limiting factors of these furnaces is the cooling rate. Currently, the vacuum furnace relies on radiation to dissipate heat and takes at least 2 hours to cool the furnace low enough to safely open for a sample change. This results in significant limitations of ...

Tunable Visible Laser for Photocathode Characterization
SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC Topic: C5312aC53-12a-271285Current electron accelerator technologies are fundamentally limited by the photoinjector, where efficient generation of electron bunches with low emittance is required. Many facilities currently use photocathode materials with excitation by high power ultraviolet pulses, which places extreme demands on system components. Therefore, photocathode materials operating in the visible spec ...
