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. Computer Science Curriculum for First Grade Students Using a Robot Games Platform

    SBC: Play Works Studio            Topic: EDIES15R0005

    The project team is developing and testing a prototype of a computer science game-based intervention intended for Grade 1 students. The prototype will include physical robots that will be designed and controlled on a game board by students through a blue-tooth enabled smartphone app. The product will include teacher resources and suggestions to facilitate classroom integration. In the Phase I pilo ...

  3. Hydrogen Contamination Detection

    SBC: SKYRE, INC            Topic: 14b

    The new purity requirements SAE J7219, ISO 14687-2 and ISO 14687 (Table I and Figure 1 below) place a three orders of magnitude increase on the accuracy of the instrumentation that is necessary to detect these extremely low levels of several critical contaminants. The design and verification of the conceptual approach of a cost-effective and reliable instrument that can sample the hydrogen at the ...

  4. Optical Waveguide Cross-Correlator for Attosecond Timing Synchronization

    SBC: ADVR, INC.            Topic: 32c

    This Phase II STTR will develop a precision balanced optical cross-correlator using engineered nonlinearoptical waveguides. The proposed device will be important for future advances at large scale accelerator facilities by providing a means to achieve long-term sub-femtosecond timing and synchronization of all of a facilitys optical and RF sub-systems over fiber optic links. Statement of how this ...

  5. Ultra-High Temperature Thermal Barrier Coatings

    SBC: HIFUNDA LLC            Topic: 19d

    State of the art yttria stabilized zirconia (YSZ) based thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are typically limited to maximum use temperatures of 1200-1300C. A thermal barrier coating (TBC) with a 1500C temperature capability would be a major gas turbine materials breakthrough. New coatings with a 200C temperature advantage can be used by the gas turbine industry to significantly increase turbine effi ...

  6. Catalytic Process to Produce High Value Platform Chemicals from Biomass-Derived Lignin

    SBC: INNOVATEK, INC.            Topic: 13a

    The cost of feedstock is a dominant factor in the final cost of renewable biofuel production. Therefore, maximizing the value of each biomass component is an ideal opportunity to improve the economics and commercial potential of lignocellulosic biomass conversion to liquid fuels. Biomass is composed of three main constitutive bio-polymers: cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin. Lignin is a highly c ...

  7. Non-Platinum Group Metal OER/ORR Catalysts for Alkaline Membrane Fuel Cells and Electrolyzers

    SBC: Proton Energy Systems, Inc.            Topic: 13c

    Statement of the problem or situation that is being addressed: A major challenge in successful development of unitized regenerative fuel cells (URFCs) is the bifunctional air/oxygen electrode. In proton exchange membrane-based systems, the number of stable elements at electrolysis potentials is extremely limited, restricting the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) / oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) cat ...

  8. Novel Surface-Functionalized Powders for Solid Oxide Fuel Cells

    SBC: Sonata LLC            Topic: 15b

    Statement of the Problem or Situation that is Being Addressed - Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) offer exceptional promise for electrical power generation with reduced carbon footprint, but SOFC reliability must be improved for the technology to be widely commercialized. Strontium based ceramic cathodes e.g. lanthanum strontium iron cobalt oxide (LSFC) enable good performance, but cathode degradatio ...

  9. In-situ formation of ceramic well liner patches

    SBC: Olympic Research, Inc.            Topic: 16a

    Development of corrosion-resistant wellbore components and remedial seal solutions is critical to mitigating wellbore loss of injected CO2 from geologic storage systems. Poor wellbore integrity impacts the performance of carbon dioxide sequestration reservoirs by unintentionally releasing the sequestered CO2 to the atmosphere. A particularly difficult sealing application is the emplacement of casi ...
