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. Stabilization of Nanofluids Using Self Assembled Monolayers

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 11c

    Heat exchangers are a used in a commercial, residential, and military cooling systems. Their thermal performance is measured by their ability to efficiently transfer heat. By increasing the heat exchanger efficiency, the size and weight of the system can be reduced. This work explores the use of twisted tape technologies and the use of advanced nanofluids for improving thermal performance. ACT ...

  2. Thermal Management System for Long-Lived Venus Landers

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: S303

    Long-lived Venus landers require power and cooling. Heat from the roughly 64 General Purpose Heat Source (GPHS) modules must be delivered to the convertor with minimal ÄT. The cooling system must be shutoff during the transit to Venus without overheating the GPHS modules. This program will develop an alkali metal Variable Conductance Heat Pipe (VCHP) integrated with a two-phase heat collection/tr ...

  3. Loop Heat Pipe with Thermal Control Valve for Passive Variable Thermal Link

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: S302

    Loop heat pipes (LHPs) can provide variable thermal conductance needed to maintain electronics and batteries on Lunar/Martian rovers/landers within desired temperature range. During lunar day, the LHP transfers the heat to the radiator for rejection. During the fourteen-day-long lunar night, the sink temperature drops, lowering LHP and WEB/battery temperatures. Without a variable thermal link, the ...

  6. Syngas Production by Thermochemical Conversion of H2O and CO2 Mixtures Using a Novel Reactor Design

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 22a

    The proposed program will develop an innovative reactor to produce syngas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide) using a steam and carbon dioxide mixture as input to a thermochemical cerium oxide cycle. Syngas is a particularly attractive fuel since it can be used to synthesize alternative fuels (notably, Fischer-Tropsch liquid fuels) or chemicals such as methanol and ammonia. It can also be ...

  7. Dielectric Printed Circuit Board Planar Thermosyphon

    SBC: ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 09a

    While solid state lighting (SSL) represents the future in energy efficient and environmentally friendly lighting, certain technological obstacles still must be addressed before SSL can truly compete with incandescent and fluorescent lamps. The thermal management of high brightness (HB) light emitting diodes (LEDs) is one of these critical obstacles, as identified by the DOE. The proposed core tech ...

  9. A Compact, Efficient Pyrolysis/Oxidation System for Solid Waste Resource Recovery in Space

    SBC: ADVANCED FUEL RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: X203

    Pyrolysis processing can be used in near term missions for volume reduction, water recovery (drying), stabilization, and enhanced water and oxygen recovery through thermochemical reactions. For longer term missions, the added benefits include production of fuel, multi-purpose carbon, and reactants for in-situ resource utilization (ISRU). The objective of the Phase I SBIR program was to demonstrate ...

  10. Recovery Act- Scale-Up of Tunable Nanoporous Carbon Production

    SBC: Y-CARBON            Topic: 09b

    The goal of this project is to scale up production of nanoporous carbon materials for supercapacitors, which are energy storage devices offering nearly limitless cyclability and high power capability. Present-day supercapacitors suffer from relatively low energy storage capability, but Y-Carbon
