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. A Stereo Camera System for Measuring Coastal Currents

    SBC: 3SRM INC.            Topic: 84

    Rip currents cause multiple drowning deaths each year as swimmers are often unaware of the location and strength of coastal currents. Currently, ocean safety officials do not have an affordable and reliable commercial system which can measure coastal currents. The goal of this Phase I study is to test a stereo camera system to measure the speed, direction, and location of alongshore currents and ...

  2. Ultra-High Precision Laser Isotope Monitor for 13CO2, CO180 and CO170

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: 83

    Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to the atmosphere are primary drivers of global climate change and hence there is a crucial need to quantify their sources and sinks. A general technique to constrain source and sink strengths is the analysis of the relative proportions of isotopic variants of GHG's. These measurements must be performed with extremely high precision. The gold standard technique, i ...

  3. Multipurpose Atmospheric/Underwater Expendable Dropsonde

    SBC: BOSTON ENGINEERING CORPORATION            Topic: 84

    There are currently no inexpensive observing systems that detect temperature, salinity and currents under the ocean's surface - all important factors in predicting the intensity of hurricanes. Boston Engineering proposes to develop the Multi-Purpose Above Surface/Below Surface Expendable Dropsondes (MASED). Our design builds on the highly successful air dropsondes already in use, combined with a ...

  4. 120-X-2 Unmanned Aircraft System-Borne Atmospheric & Sea Surface Temperature (SST) Sensing

    SBC: PIASECKI AIRCRAFT CORP            Topic: 84

    To capture critical weather and SST data in the Tropical Cyclone Boundary Layer (TCBL), Piasecki Aircraft proposes to evaluate existing meteorological sensor packages, integrate new off-the-shelf MEMS sensors, and design an air-launched UAS to improve the resolution of observations captured in the TCBL. Capturing latent and sensible heat fluxes can be achieved reliably with a powered UAS (compare ...

  5. Low-Noise, High-Efficiency Geiger Photodiode for Quantum Cryptography

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The mechanics of single photons can be used to entangle information carry quantum states, allowing for quantum computation or random number generation. Quantum communication utilizes the quantum nature of single-photons to retain information, particularly in the form of quantum key distribution protocols. High-efficiency, low-noise single photon detection at high efficiency is critical for the app ...

  6. Surveying Earth's Gravity with Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    SBC: AURORA FLIGHT SCIENCES CORPORATION            Topic: 91

    During the Phase I program, Aurora conducted a comprehensive survey of potential platforms that included government owned and furnished UAVs and manned aircraft as well as Aurora’s Centaur Optionally Piloted Aircraft (OPA). The survey concluded, in part, that UAVs offer a significant improvement in data collection capability when compared to manned aircraft that are currently fielded by NOAA. ...

  8. CRYSTALLOGRAPHY OF CERAMIC PARTICULATE IN METAL-MATRIX COMPOSITES

    SBC: Advanced Microscopy Techniques            Topic: N/A

    METAL-PARTICULATE INTERFACES HAVE A MAJOR IMPACT ON THE PROPERTIES OF CERAMIC-REINFORCED METAL-MATRIX COMPOSITES. DESIRED INTERFACE CHARACTERISTICS ARE ADHERENCE, MECHANICAL TOUGHNESS AND RESISTANCE TO ENVIRONMENTAL ATTACK. IN TURN, THESE PROPERTIES ARE DICTATED BY SURFACE MORPHOLOGY, CHEMICAL COMPOSITION, SHAPE AND THE PRESENCE OF THIRD PHASES. STEPS MUST BE TAKEN TO CONTROL THE RELEVANT CHARACTE ...

  9. TRACS- TOOLKIT FOR RECOGNITION AND AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATIONOF SOLAR FEATURES

    SBC: AMERINEX APPLIED IMAGING, INC.            Topic: N/A

    AMERINEX ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AAI) IS PROPOSING A PROJECT CALLED TRACS (TOOL FOR RECOGNITION AND AUTOMATIC CLASSIFICATION OF SOLAR FEATURES) AS A PHASE I SBIR PROJECT IN SOLAR IMAGE PROCESSING. THE TRACS PROJECT IS DESIGNED TO FACILITATE THE AUTOMATIC RECOGNITION, ANALYSIS, AND TRACKING, OF SOLAR FEATURES IN DIGITAL IMAGES. THIS PROJECT WILL PRODUCE A SUITE OF COMPUTER PROGRAMS THAT WILL AUTOM ...
