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. ESCINC-SBIR 21-FH3

    SBC: ENGINEERING & SOFTWARE CONSULTANTS, LLC            Topic: 21FH3

    According to a survey completed by NCAT in 2019, as part of the NCHRP 20‐07 project, 36 DOTs (out of 43 responded) consider fatigue cracking as the most common failure mode that the agency wants to address. However, in the same survey, 34 of the DOTs also indicated that fatigue cracking test is not required in their mix design specifications. This is primarily because a simple, practical, and ro ...

  3. ADVANCING BATHYMETRY AND STREAMFLOW SURVEY TO REAL-TIME SCOUR PREDICTION: AN AUTOMATED ALGORITHM

    SBC: Genex Systems LLC            Topic: 20FH3

    Most research on scour assessment has traditionally focused on developing best-fit or envelope equations to estimate the maximum scour depths from physical experiments in a laboratory environment. However, obtaining an accurate estimate is always a challenge due to numerous uncertainties in the actual riverine or coastal environment. With advances in new surveying technologies and growing computat ...

  4. Modular Lightweight Composite Deck

    SBC: PRECAST SYSTEMS ENGINEERING, LLC            Topic: 20FH2

    A newly proposed combination of high-strength weathering steel sheet with Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) to leverage the benefits of both emerging technologies. The combined system offers benefits over traditional orthotropic steel decks and existing concrete or UHPC deck solutions, both of which offer high up-front costs in fabrication or forming. The resulting composite structure provide ...

  5. Demonstration of a Drone-Based Track Safety Inspection System Using Asset-Based Change Detection

    SBC: Noble Drone Services, LLC            Topic: 180FR4

    Today’s prevailing methods of visual track inspection tend to be expensive, disruptive to operations, and have potential to be less thorough than preferred. To help address these issues, machine vision technology emerged in the rail sector over a decade ago; however, the technology has not achieved its expected potential due to the uncontrolled nature of rail environments. Recent findings have s ...

  9. Sensor Enhanced Mobile Aggregate Evaluation using Computer Vision

    SBC: MICHAEL SANCHEZ            Topic: 20FR4

    Crushed aggregates play an important role in the safe and reliable operation of our nation’s railroad infrastructure.Over time, aggregates become fouled by finer particles, and if not monitored and remedied, this fouling can lead to catastrophic accidents such as train derailments.A handheld inspection system that can accurately perform a quantitative measure of aggregate gradation and degree of ...
