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. Improved Joints Based on 3D Fiber Architecture Preforms

    SBC: 3TEX, Inc.            Topic: 20a

    Wind blades are a significant part of the installation and operating costs of wind turbines used for electricity generation. In the manufacture of wind blades, several composite elements must be joined; the joints between these elements present one of the most difficult aspects of their construction. Current practices are hand-labor intensive and result in thick bond lines. In turn, these pract ...

  2. Advanced Heat Exchanger bsed on 3D Woven Metal Wires

    SBC: 3TEX, Inc.            Topic: 11c

    A heat exchanger must balance an ability to transfer heat to a fluid with the amount of power required to move the fluid through the heat exchanger. For most systems, heat transfer is largely driven by the material¿s thermal conductivity and the structure¿s surface-area-to-volume ratio. Increasing the latter factor increases the heat exchanger¿s capacity or reduces the exchanger¿s size. A ...

  3. High-Efficiency Microalgae Biofuel Harvest and Extraction Using Ionic Liquids

    SBC: STREAMLINE AUTOMATION LLC            Topic: 18b

    Biofuel production via microalgal systems has several competitive advantages over other feedstocks: (1) it does not involve the use of food crops, (2) it can be carried out on non-productive land, (3) it does not consume sources of potable water, and (4) it can be part of a strategy to sequester carbon dioxide produced by power and industrial plants. However, the process is very complex and the ...

  5. Visualization Technologies for Distribution Systems

    SBC: Signatech Systems            Topic: 62a

    Vast amounts of data are available to quantify the supply and demand of electricity in a distributed system. However, distribution operators require a more succinct depiction of the data through effective visualization. Therefore, this project will develop, test, and conduct user experiments to determine the impact of interactive visualization tools on a specific distribution system model, such a ...

  6. Back-Gate Field Emission-Based Cathode RF Electron Gun

    SBC: RIVIS, INC.            Topic: 03a

    High current electron sources are required in numerous applications of interest to the DOE; however, current RF guns based upon thermionic cathodes and photocathodes have serious limitations. While thermionic cathodes have high average electron currents, they suffer from degraded beam quality when used in RF guns; this degradation in beam quality is due to the fact that the electron emission cann ...

  7. Neodymium-Containing Single Crystals for Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Detection

    SBC: Integrated Photonics, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    The Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay Underground Detector for the determination of the neutrino mass has been identified by DOE as a high scientific priority. Unfortunately, the current generation of proposed experiments would require 500 kg of isotopically enriched germanium (Ge). The cost of this specialized Ge would exceed $100 million. 150Nd is an alternate parent isotope for neutrinoless dou ...

  8. Electrochemical Microalloying of Tungsten for Plasma Facing Component Applications

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: N/A

    Tungsten¿s inherent chemical inertness and high melting temperature make it an ideal heat sink and armor material for fusion applications. However, tungsten¿s intrinsic low temperature brittleness makes it difficult to fabricate using conventional processing techniques. Recently, advanced electrochemical forming techniques based on microalloying and grain refinement have been developed tha ...

  9. High Temperature Bond and Thermal Barrier Coatings

    SBC: Plasma Processes, LLC            Topic: 30b

    The key to higher efficiencies and lower emissions in next generation power plants, such as Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle (IGCC) systems, is an increase in the firing temperatures that are now limited by the turbines materials. In this project, higher-temperature thermal protection systems, based on technology developed for the protection of rocket nozzles for launch and satellite system ...

  10. Remote Sensing through Imaging Polarimetry for Nuclear Non-Proliferation

    SBC: POLARIS SENSOR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: N/A

    Remote sensing technologies are used to identify activities associated with the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. Remote sensing requires the extraction of as much information as possible from the available measured energy, in order to identify objects of interest in the scene. Polarization is a fundamental property of light that is not typically exploited because of the additional di ...
