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. Precision Heated Tooling for OOA Curing of Thin-Ply Composites

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: T12

    Touchstone produced carbon foam (CFOAM), graphite foam (GFOAM) composite core tool materials for evaluating heat transfer characteristics. In addition a high in-plane heat spreader was evaluated along with fiber reinforced bismaleimide (BMI) composite that is the tool surface.nbsp; The heat source were 300 and 600 W flexible heaters manufactured from glass reinforced silicone and polyimide.nbsp; T ...

  4. Multifunctional Metal Matrix Composite Filament Wound Tank Liners

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: X503

    Composite Overwrapped Pressure Vessels (COPVs) are used for storing pressurized gases on board spacecraft when mass saving is a key requirement. All future mass critical space applications will be designed to use COPVs to minimize vehicle mass. Saving mass is critical for facilitating deep space travel in which a series of space depots will be implemented as a means of providing fuel along the j ...

  5. Carbon Foam Self-Heated Tooling for Out-of-Autoclave Composites Manufacturing

    SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD.            Topic: X406

    Touchstone Research Laboratory, Ltd. (Touchstone) has developed a novel and innovative Out-of-Autoclave (OOA) composites manufacturing process with an electrically heated carbon foam tooling system. Electrically Heated Tooling (EHT) utilizes a coal-based carbon foam (CFOAMREG) core that serves as both the tool substrate and the heating source for a composite part being cured. The tool heating is a ...
