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. Concurrent Clarification and Biological Nitrification/Denitrification in a Single Floating Bead Bioclarifier to Simplify Nitrogen Management in Recirculating Aquaculture Systems

    SBC: AQUACULTURE SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES, L.L.C.            Topic: 816

    Commercial-scale marine aquaculture has the potential to balance the increasing demand for high-quality seafood products with the harvest capacity of our nation¿s oceans. However, water reuse in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) is limited by the accumulation of nitrate (NO3), which is toxic to many species in high concentrations. Therefore, NO3 removal by denitrification presents a press ...

  2. Construction of a Force Probe for Characterization of Microscale Features

    SBC: INSITUTEC, INC.            Topic: N/A

    The pressing need exists within industry to accurately measure high aspect ratio microscale structures. For example, diesel injector nozzles are manufactured with microscale holes ranging from 50-200 micrometers in diameter and 3-5 mm depths. One fundamental challenge is to nondestrucvely measure these features in order to validate models, enhance manufacturing processes, and reduce fuel emissions ...

  4. Low-Cost Wave Data Buoys for Offshore Monitoring

    SBC: PLANNING SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 837

    Ocean waves are well-known to be the most hazardous of ocean environmental conditions affecting vessel operations. The vast majority of incidents responded to by the U.S. Coast Guard, injuries and fatalities, and damage to or sinking of vessels (particularly small craft) are wave-related. Recognizing the considerable spatial and temporal variability of waves in coastal areas, research will desig ...

  5. Ground Level Assimilative Model (GLAM) of Geomagnetic Field Disturbance Conditions

    SBC: Metatech APS Division            Topic: N/A

    Geomagnetic disturbances have caused wide spread disruptions to power grids throughout North America. It is necessary to fully describe the complex physical manifestation of geomagnetic disturbance environments to model how and to what extent these disturbances impact modern ground-based critical infrastructures. The Ground Level Assimilative Model (GLAM) would provide the general public and ope ...

  6. Tool Condition Monitoring and Diagnostics

    SBC: VulcanCraft            Topic: N/A

    A smart machine tool must be able to monitor its condition and report problems. Every CNC machine should provide an alarm for tool condition problems, including tool wear, much as every automobile has a low oil indicator. Tool wear is particularly important for unattended machining as a worn tool can ruin a part. All current tool condition systems operate "blind" without direct information on curr ...

  7. NANOMETER-SIZE STEP HEIGHT TEST STRUCTURES

    SBC: Advanced Technologies/Laboratories Intl            Topic: N/A

    MCNC PROPOSES A FEASIBILITY STUDY AND EVALUATION OF THREE PROMISING APPROACHES TO THE FABRICATION OF SURFACE TEST STRUCTURES ON SILICON. SURFACE FEATURES ON THE FIRST STRUCTURE WILL BE PRODUCED BY CONTROLLABLY ETCHING THERMALLYGROWN OXIDES. FEATURES ON THE SECOND WILL BE MADE BY ETCHING PIEZOELECTRIC THIN FILMS. USING THE PIEZOELECTRIC FILM AS PART OF A CAPACITOR, STEP-HEIGHT CAN BE VARIED AND PRO ...

  8. FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A WATER COLLECTION SYSTEM FOR FLOATING NET PEN AQUACULTURE

    SBC: Minnesota Aquafarms Inc            Topic: N/A

    A SMALL SCALE WASTE COLLECTION SYSTEM WILL BE DESIGNED AND EVALUATED TO DETERMINE POTENTIAL EFFECTIVENESS OF FOUR DIFFERENT DEGREES OF CONTAINMENT OF NET PANS; 5, 50, 60, AND100 PERCENTS. EFFECTIVENESS OF THE COLLECTION UNIT WILL BE EVALUATED BY MONITORING EFFICIENCY OF PHOSPHOROUS, SUSPENDED SOLIDS AND DOB LOAD REMOVAL AT EACH OF THE FOUR CONFIGURATIONS. OTHER OPERATIONAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLE ...

  9. DIGESTIVE ENZYME SUPPLEMENTS TO INERT FEEDS FOR SMALL-EGG FISH LARVAE

    SBC: International Aquaculture Res            Topic: N/A

    INADEQUATE STARTER FEEDS SEVERELY HOLD BACK NEW AQUACULTURE ENTERPRISES SUCH AS PRESENT ATTEMPTS TO RAISE FISHES WHOSE LARVAE DEVELOP FROM SMALL EGGS AND HAVE VERY "DIFFICULT" FOOD REQUIREMENTS. INERT LARVAL FEEDS HAVE NOT SUCCESSFULLYELIMINATED THE STRICT DEPENDENCY ON NATURAL FORAGE DURING THE CRITICAL POST-LARVAL STAGE AFTER YOLK ABSORPTION AND BEFORE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A DIGESTIVE SYSTEM WITH ...

  10. REAL-TIME COLLECTION, PROCESSING AND DISSEMINATION OF CUSTOMIZED LIGHTNING DATA FROM OVERLAPPING DETECTION NETWORKS

    SBC: R*scan Corp            Topic: N/A

    THE TECHNOLOGY OF REAL-TIME LIGHTNING GROUND STROKE MONITORING HAS ADVANCED SIGNIFICANTLY DURING THIS DECADE. THERE IS A CLEAR NEED FOR AN INTEGRATED NATIONAL LIGHTNING NETWORK. IN ORDER TO ACCOMPLISH THIS HOWEVER, TECHNIQUES MUST BE DEVELOPED TO COLLECT LIGHTNING DATA FROM GEOGRAPHICALLY SEPARATE (AND OFTEN OVERLAPPING) NETWORKS. NETWORK OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS PEAK DATA RATES, MUST ...
