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. Advanced cooling using an Electrochemical Heat Pipe (EHP)

    SBC: Johnson Research & Development Co Inc            Topic: 01a

    Refrigeration and air conditioning in buildings, industry, and transportation account for approximately 10 quads of U.S. primary energy consumption. In addition, current mass marketed air conditioning and refrigeration cycles utilize environmentally harmful refrigerants that are strong green house gases. This subtopic seeks innovative approaches to achieve high efficiencies and net-zero direct GHG ...

  2. High Efficiency Commercial Refrigeration Motors

    SBC: QM Power, Inc.            Topic: 01a

    Refrigeration and air conditioning in buildings, industry, and transportation account for approximately 10 quads of U.S. primary energy consumption. Motors power the equipment and control the environment in advanced cooling applications and thus their energy consumption represents a significant part of their operating and life cycle costs.Fan motors for heating, cooling and ventilation run the mos ...

  4. Aerogel Impregnated Polyurethane Piping and Duct Insulation

    SBC: INNOSENSE CORPORATION            Topic: 01d

    Currently, commercial and residential buildings account for two-fifths of the nations primary energy usage and over one-third the nations carbon emissions. The DOE wishes to reduce the current carbon footprint of housing. Legislation is currently being developed to inspire energy savings and carbon reduction in both the residential and commercial building markets. Technological advances for effici ...

  5. High-Throughput Screens and Selections for Microbially Produced Diacids

    SBC: Lygos, Inc.            Topic: 02c

    Production of renewably sourced industrial chemicals using microbial production processes requires extensive strain engineering to improve strain titers (g/L), productivities (g/L/hr), and yields (g-product/g-feedstock). Microbial strains are typically optimized by screening for incremental improvements in production using high-throughput screening or selection assays; however, this remains exceed ...

  6. Biomass to Olefins by Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: 02d

    Aerodyne Research Inc. (ARI) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) plan to develop an efficient catalytic system to convert biomass into olefins for the production of hydrocarbons in the gasoline, diesel, and/or jet fuel range by way of catalytic fast pyrolysis. Conversion of lignocellulosic feedstocks from resources as varied as corn stover, grasses, wood, and sugar cane bagasse is ...

  7. Ultra Lightweight High Pressure Hydrogen Fuel Tanks Reinforced With Carbon Nanotubes

    SBC: APPLIED NANOTECH, INC.            Topic: 03a

    One effective way to lower the weight, thus decreasing the carbon fiber usage and lowering the cost, of a CFRP tank is to improve the mechanical properties of the CFRP composite resin matrix using nano-reinforcement. Using the resin matrix itself as a source of composite strength, along with the carbon fiber reinforcement, results in a tank that requires less carbon fiber material. This solution d ...

  8. Alternative Fiber Evaluation and Optimization of Filament Winding Processing

    SBC: QUANTUM FUEL SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES WORLDWIDE, INC.            Topic: 03a

    At the present time, relatively few components for onboard hydrogen storage are commercially available and manufactured. Todays 700 bar (10,000 psi) compressed hydrogen storage systems have demonstrated the capability to provide sufficient capacity to enable fuel cell vehicles to achieve a real-world driving range of over 300 miles. While the technology is being used in limited quantities and test ...

  9. New High Performance Water Vapor Membranes To Improve Fuel Cell Balance of Plant Efficiency and Lower Costs

    SBC: TETRAMER TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 03b

    As a technology that would dramatically reduce both our dependence on foreign oil and lower carbon dioxide emissions, stationary and transportation fuel cells are very attractive. Although the stationary fuel cell market is well establishes and prototype automotive and bus vehicles have successfully demonstrated practical road tested viability, the overall cost of the technology is still too high. ...
