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.

  2. Phase II: Microbial Fermentation of Taurine for the Sustainable Production of a Nutritional Ingredient

    SBC: NATAUR LLC            Topic: 85

    Taurine an essential nutrient for human and animal health naturally occurs in meat and otheranimal products. As we shift to more plant-based food and feed diets taurine must be added asan ingredient or a supplement to maintain healthy taurine levels. Currently three Chinesecompanies produce 85% of the world's taurine supply using a petroleum-based process thatharms humans animals and the environme ...

  3. Use of novel vector to defeat fungal pathogens using siRNAs

    SBC: SILVEC BIOLOGICS INC            Topic: 82

    Trees vines and bushes are plagued by pathogens causing over $100B in annual damage.Fungi are of particular concern causing 85% of pathogen-related crop losses. For many fungi likeBotrytis cinerea there are no varieties with natural resistance in its host range. As B. cinerea isestimated to cause over $10B in annual crop losses there is a strong driver for effective controlsolutions especially one ...

  4. An Improved PCV-2 Vaccine

    SBC: BIOLOGICAL MIMETICS, INC.            Topic: 83

    Current PCV2 vaccines stimulate protective immunity to PCV2a and 2b serotypes but reducedprotection against evolving and emerging strains such as PCV2d 2g and 2h. We propose to useImmune Refocusing Technology (IRT) to reduce the immunogenicity of epitopes that stimulatesubtype-restricted immunity and refocus towards more broadly protective epitopes. Our first- generation IRT candidate demonstrated ...

  5. Microbial Fermentation of Taurine for the Sustainable Production of a Nutritional Ingredient

    SBC: NATAUR LLC            Topic: 85

    Taurine (Tau) is an essential nutrient for humans and animals; it is needed for cardiovascularskeletal muscle vision and nervous system function. Tau is naturally occurring in meat and otheranimal products. As we shift to more plant-based food and feed diets Tau must be added as aningredient or taken as a supplement to maintain healthy Tau levels. The vast majority of Tau ismanufactured in China f ...

  9. Improving the Energy Density and Performance of Detachable Redox Flow Batteries

    SBC: Energao, Inc.            Topic: 86

    In this project we aim to develop a novel iron-titanium redox flow battery with two detachableelectrolyte storage tanks. Iron-titanium batteries cost $80/kWh for energy storage—lower than$369/kWh of lithium-ion batteries and $399/kWh of vanadium flow batteries. An iron-titaniumbattery employs no self-igniting materials and its electrolytes are comprised of ~60% water— deeming it fire ...
