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. Unearthing Lead Service Lines: An Operational Geospatial Data Platform

    SBC: Unearth Technologies Inc.            Topic: 1C

    An estimated 6.1 to 10 million Lead Service Lines (LSLs) in the United States will require upwards of $47.0 billion to replace given existing methods. With the high costs and data challenges associated with LSL identification, and the multi-decade replacement backlog, the EPA is seeking innovative technologies to increase operational efficiency of LSLR programs and enable data-driven prioritizatio ...

  2. Ultrasonic PVDF In Commercial Membrane Systems Reduces Fouling for Efficient Water Reuse

    SBC: PURE BLUE TECH INC.            Topic: 1B

    Ultrasound generated by polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) transducers effectively reduced membrane fouling in Pure Blue Tech Inc.'s EPA SBIR Phase I project. This innovation is of paramount importance to all membrane separations applications because fouling is the chief problem and managing it is the dominant focus of membrane operators. Reducing membrane fouling by integrated ultrasound can shift me ...

  3. Hydrothermal Treatment of PFAS-Contaminated Groundwater

    SBC: Aquagga, Inc.            Topic: 3A

    Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been used extensively since the 1940s due to their chemical stability and unique thermophysical properties. Those same properties make PFAS extremely recalcitrant environmental pollutants and bioaccumulative toxins. The most significant PFAS issues are a direct result of the discharge of aqueous film-forming foam (AFFF), both for firefighter training ...

  4. Ultrasonic PVDF Reduces Membrane Fouling for Efficient Water Reuse

    SBC: PURE BLUE TECH INC.            Topic: 20OSAPE1B

    Membranes are the gold standard for water treatment and reuse. However, membrane fouling inhibits flux, wastes energy, requires cleaning and replacement, and disables concentrate recirculation. Pure Blue Tech proposes ultrasonic PVDF transducers be embedded within membrane systems to reduce fouling. This innovation has potential to transform the economics of membrane operations and water reuse. Pu ...

  5. OlogyBricks: High Thermal Performance Hempcrete Construction Bricks

    SBC: EARTH MERCHANT LLC            Topic: 20OSAPE5E

    OlogyBricks are durable, lightweight, carbon-negative construction blocks made from industrial hemp, lime, and hemp-derivatives for superior thermal resistance and mechanical properties that will improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality in single family homes and other architectural applications. Industrial Hemp can be grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers, requires less water ...

  6. Novel Hempstead Oil-Based Bio-epoxy for the Manufacturing of Sporting Goods

    SBC: Zila Works LLC            Topic: 16NCER2A

    Epoxy resins are typically created using bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine disrupting chemical. In addition, over 90% of plastics are derived from virgin fossil feedstocks, equivalent to ~ 6% of global oil consumption. This project proposes to develop an innovative bio-epoxy resin based on the fatty acids of hempseed oil. This approach is to dismantle (by hydrolysis) the triglyceride structure and r ...

  7. Phosphorus recovery and high efficiency biological nutrient removal from wastewater with an innovative aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch reactor process

    SBC: DTEC SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: 14NCER4A

    Phosphorus is a nutrient essential to all life, yet phosphate rock used for fertilizer is a finite resource which is rapidly being depleted. Yet, excess phosphorus from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) is causing eutrophication and degradation water quality. There is a critical need for wastewater treatment technologies that will remove and recover more phosphorus for beneficial use in food pro ...

  8. Phosphorus recovery and high efficiency biological nutrient removal from wastewater with an innovative aerobic granular sludge sequencing batch reactor process

    SBC: DTEC SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: 14NCER4A

    Project Summary: Phosphorus is a nutrient essential to modern food production and to all life on earth, yet phosphate rock from which phosphate fertilizer is produced is a finite resource, which is rapidly being depleted. At the same time, excess phosphorus from wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and runoff from farms is causing eutrophication and the resultant degradation water quality. There is ...

  9. Novel Nutrient Recovery Process from Wastewater

    SBC: LJJW AQUASOLUTION LLC            Topic: 14NCER4A

    In a typical wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), the anaerobic digestion process generates a sidestream with high level of ammonia (NH3-N) and ortho-phosphate (ortho-P), which contributes to as much as 20-40 percent of total nutrient loading to the main plant stream. Traditionally, the sidestream is returned to the main stream and treated in biological nutrient removal processes, at significant cos ...

  10. Development of a Real-Time Flare Combustion Efficiency Monitor

    SBC: Providence Photonics, LLC            Topic: E

    HJ Science & Technology, Inc. proposes a portable microfluidic automation technology capable of rapid and real time detection and identification of microcystins and other toxins produced by freshwater cyanobacteria (cyanotoxins). During blooms, many cyanotoxins in freshwater are known to cause damage to liver or damage to nerve axons and synapses. Though not strictly regulated, the EPA recommends ...
