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. Active Material Technology to Improve Solar Sail Performance for Space Weather Monitoring

    SBC: NEXOLVE HOLDING CO LLC            Topic: 96

    Development of a reflection control and direction device (RCDD) is proposed. This innovative device will progress the state of the art for propulsion of solar sails used to fly space weather monitoring sensors to sub-LaGrange point orbits for earlier warning times of impending destructive space weather events. A reflection control device (RCD) utilizes polymer dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) mater ...

  2. Developing the Drought Risk Overview Product (DROP): Improving Flash Drought Forecasts and Early Warning Using Machine Learning and Extreme Value Theory Techniques

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: 91

    Drought is responsible for $327.7B in economic loss since 1980 in the United States and typically precedes, cooccurs, or initiates other hazards like wildfires or prolonged periods of intense heat. The compounding or cascading of these hazards routinely threatens the wellbeing and stability of communities. The economic impact from drought can be especially harsh when the drought begins rapidly in ...

  3. Resistance Welding of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Thermoplastic Composites for Repurposable Applications

    SBC: VISTA ENGINEERING AND CONSULTING, LLC            Topic: T12

    We propose to develop resistance welding (RW) technology for carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites (CFR-TCs) based on innovative heating element technology. A proposed target for these innovations is repurposable aerospace applications. Historically, CFR-TCs were not considered as the material of choice for aerospace applications despite their excellent specific strength and modulus. In ...

  4. High-Order Solution Methods for Aerothermodynamic Flow Simulations on Unstructured Meshes

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: T9

    Hypersonic vehicles have seen renewed interest in recent years for both civilian and government applications. However, the hypersonic flow regime poses unique challenges to computational aerothermodynamic simulation tools due to complex physics, including a combination of strong shockwave formation, thin boundary layers, real gas effects, thermochemical nonequilibrium, and departures from continuu ...

  5. Uncertainty Management Framework for Space-based Autonomy

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: T10

    Uncertainty management within autonomous systems is imperative to improving trust in multi-agent cyber-physical-human systems. These multi-agent systems require not only a robust uncertainty quantification strategy, but also an intelligible representation of uncertainty to human agents to elucidate confidence in the autonomous portions of the multi-agent systems. Here, we propose to develop a gene ...

  6. Soft Cleaning of Wire-Immobilized Genetic Material

    SBC: NOU SYSTEMS INC            Topic: H3

    To automate the sample prep for MinION sequencing, we propose a paradigm shift in the inherently liquid-based, multi-step protocol. The traditionally labor-intense process will occur within disposable microfluidic ldquo;cardsrdquo; which have an unexpected feature. Each card will contain separate reaction wells where single operations will occur (e.g. lysis, fragmentation, amplification). However, ...

  7. Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) for In-Space and Extraterrestrial Surface Metal Welding and Joining

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: Z4

    Despite the maturity of welding and related joining processes for terrestrial applications, there is limited understanding of the effects of an in-space environment on weld quality. An ICME framework leveraging physics-based process and metallurgical models, anchored by terrestrial data, is desired to predict the effects of in-space, lunar, and Martian environments on the welding process and resul ...

  8. Coupled Continuum-Rarefied-Granular Flow Modeling for Plume-Surface Interaction in Low-Pressure Environments

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: Z7

    Detrimental environments from plume-surface interaction (PSI) during spacecraft propulsive landing include dust lofting, regolith particle ejecta stream obscuration, and debris transport that can threaten the lander and nearby assets. Design of mitigative strategies requires detailed understanding of the characteristics, behavior, and trajectories of ejected particles and surface erosion during th ...

  9. Configurable Parametric Aeroservoelastic Reduced-Order Models for Aerostructural Sensing and Control

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: A1

    The goal of the proposed effort is to develop a framework for configurable reduced-order modeling (ROM) for the development of novel aeroservoelastic (ASE) sensing and control approaches within a broad flight parameter space. Parametric ROM techniques developed by the proposing team present a considerable opportunity to extract dominant aerodynamic, structural dynamics, and control surface effects ...

  10. Rapid Parametric Sensitivity Analysis for Plume-Surface Interaction Simulations

    SBC: CFD RESEARCH CORPORATION            Topic: Z7

    NASA modeling and simulation activities are mandated to provide uncertainty characterization, quantification (UQ), and propagation for all of their simulation tools and results. In the Phase I of this project, CFD Research addressed this need by implementing two approaches for sensitivity analysis into the Gas Granular Flow Solver, Loci/GGFS, used by NASA for prediction of Lunar and Martian Plume- ...
