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. High Force Spring Clamp System-A system to substitute spring clamps for bolts when connecting Superconducting RF Cavities in Order to Greatly Reduce Particulate Generation in a Clean Room Environment

    SBC: HYPERBOLOID LLC            Topic: 30a

    This proposal for an SBIR project is to design and develop a simple system to assemble and seal the vacuum joints of SRF Cavities. The System substitutes highly sprung,“C” shaped spring clamps for bolts and nuts for applying sealing force on the metallic gaskets of cavity flanges. The system minimizes particle generation during assembly in the clean room by avoiding the rubbing/shedding contac ...

  2. Oxygen Separation Membrane For Oxy-Fuel, Coal-Fired Power Plants

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 22b

    A more efficient, scalable and cost-effective technology is needed to separate oxygen from air for advanced coal-fired power plants based gasification and oxy-fuel combustion. Oxygen-fired systems generate power more efficiently than conventional plants and only water and low concentration contaminants are required to be removed from the flue gas to produce carbon dioxide suitable for transport. C ...

  3. A Graphene Enhanced SiC- SiC Ceramic Composite Bonding Solution for Generation IV

    SBC: MC Technologies LLC            Topic: 20b

    Ceramic matrix SiC-SiC composites are currently the leading candidate for Generation IV nuclear reactor fuel cladding and other structural components, due to their excellent thermal and chemical stability under extreme conditions. However, robustly joining SiC structures when exposed to such harsh operating conditions still presents a major roadblock. A novel bonding joint compound leveraging grap ...

  4. Highly Transparent Aerogel with Refractive Index < 1.01 for High Energy Particle Detection

    SBC: Scintilex, LLC            Topic: 31d

    Cherenkov radiation, caused by fast charged particles in a transparent medium, is widely used for charged particle identification. To date, gaseous, liquid, and solid radiators have been used as sources of Cherenkov radiation. Aerogels with low refractive index and high light transmittance, are highly desirable for Cherenkov detectors. Development and testing of aerogels with a refractive index as ...

  5. Non-destructive, Functional Metabolic Imaging of Plant and Microbial Systems

    SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 27a

    Functional metabolic imaging of plant and microbial systems requires a sensitive, high spatial resolution microscopy method that can image metabolically important compounds in situ. This will require new chemically sensitive imaging methods to be developed. In this SBIR/STTR, we will develop a new coherent Raman-based microscopy technique that will improve ensitivity over existing stimulated Raman ...

  6. Segmented and Blocky Proton Conducting Membranes for Solar Fuels Generator Applications

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: 19b

    The Department of Energy’s Office of Basic Energy Sciences has identified a need for new proton conducting membranes for solar fuel generator applications. Specifically, development of block copolymers with good proton conductivity at ambient temperatures and low gas diffusion and ionic transports are needed. There are currently no commercially available proton conducting membranes which possess ...

  7. Ground-based Water Vapor Atmospheric Vertical Profiler

    SBC: MESA PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 25b

    Detailed accurate data on temperature variations and water vapor concentration distributions are needed for weather and climate forecasting. Water vapor is particularly important for predicting precipitation amounts from storms. Measurements are needed from the ground to the top of the troposphere at about 10 km altitude. Existing ground-based instruments often have measurement uncertainties due t ...

  8. Advanced Computation Methods towards High-Resolution Fiber Optic Distributed Acoustic Sensing

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 21a

    Commercial-scale geothermal reservoirs are thousands of feet below the Earth’s surface, so scientists rely on indirect measurements to reconstruct 3D subsurface reservoir maps from seismic vibrations, electromagnetic waves, or gravity measurements. Geothermal operators typically use electromagnetic or gravity surveys, but seismic surveys are preferable because they enable higher-resolution 3D su ...

  9. Cold Spray EMAT continuous monitoring system for real-time structural health monitoring

    SBC: INNERSPEC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 34b

    As made evident by multiple publications by experts from the U.S. Department of Energy from 2014 through 2018, welded stainless-steel Dry Storage Canisters used for spent nuclear fuel storage are experiencing severe stress corrosion cracking, especially in the welds’ heat-affected zone. In 2016, there were 2777 Dry Storage Canisters deployed across the country, and approximately 200 more are add ...

  10. 29(d) Serial Cryogenic Pressure and Temperature Sensors

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 29d

    Around the world there are more than 30,000 particle accelerators. These particle accelerators are utilized in numerous ways, from exploring the origins of the universe, to exploring the structure of materials, to curing cancer. Monitoring the state of operations in accelerator facilities’ superconducting magnets and RF cryomodules is of great importance. It is thus that Luna is proposing to dev ...
