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. Improved Creep Testing Approach for Bentonite EBS, Phase I

    SBC: RESPEC Company, LLC            Topic: C5437a

    Project Description: In the United States, the nuclear reactor contributes 18.7 percent of the nation’s total electricity generation and produces a significant amount of spent nuclear fuel (SNF) and high-level waste. Because SNF is being stored for longer periods than initially envisioned, the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy, Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technolo ...

  2. Supersonic Particle Deposition for the Application of a Bimetallic Corrosion Resistant Layer in Nuclear Components

    SBC: VRC Metal Systems, LLC            Topic: C4513a

    The problem being addressed is the expected shortfall in electrical power generation due to decreased supply and increased demand. Many coal-fired power plants are reaching the end of their life and are unlikely to be replaced by new coal fired plants due to emissions. Electrical power demand is expected to increase steadily through year 2050 due to population growth and increased electric vehicle ...

  3. blastFEM: Integration of the commercial blastFoam software and the ASCR-funded MFEM Finite Element Libraries

    SBC: SYNTHETIK APPLIED TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: C5302b

    Highly compressible multiphase and reactive flows are important, and manifest across a myriad of practical applications, including: novel energy production and propulsion methods (e.g. RDEs, rockets, nuclear, hydrogen safety), building design, safety and energy efficiency (e.g. blast load requirements, insurance and reinsurance, building material selection), material discovery (e.g. novel energeti ...

  4. Novel Plasma-Electrolytic-Oxidation Technique to Reduce Erosion and Increase Lifetime of ECR Components

    SBC: NANOCOATINGS INC            Topic: C5334c

    The Department of Energy requires research to advance fundamental accelerator technology and its applications to nuclear-physics scientific research. Innovations are sought that will improve Nuclear-Physics Scientific User Facilities and the wider community’s experimental programs. Passivation techniques or other surface treatments to Electron-Cyclotron-Resonance components are of interest to re ...

  5. Novel Additive Friction-Stir Deposition Method to Clad Nuclear-Reactor Structural Materials with Corrosion-Resistant Alloys

    SBC: NANOCOATINGS INC            Topic: C5320a

    The Department of Energy requires the development and demonstration of bimetallic or corrosion- resistant surfaces for structural and cooling components in contact with liquid-salt coolants used in nuclear-reactor systems. Proposed coating materials must survive thermo-mechanical loading (e.g., no flaking or spalling) during exposure to the high-temperature conditions encountered during reactor op ...

  6. A Simulation-based Tool for Increasing the Impact of DoD R&D Contracts

    SBC: SOFTWARE FACTORY LABS INC            Topic: HR001121S000706

    The objective of this research is to create an explainable and structured approach to determining profit or fee negotiations, which accommodates factors that the present weighted guidelines do not. The innovation that this proposal offers is to build an interactive, computational model that simulates these factors—existing and newly identified—and enables negotiators to explore in real-time th ...

  7. Thermal Salt Sealing System

    SBC: RESPEC Company, LLC            Topic: 34a

    Long-term disposal of nuclear waste continues to be an issue of national and international importance. A 2012 Blue Ribbon Commission report to the Secretary of Energy states, .“..this nation’s failure to come to grips with the nuclear waste issue has already proved damaging and costly and it will be more damaging and more costly the longer it continues….” The proposed thermal salt sealing ...

  8. In-Situ Structural Repair and Protection of LWR Components Using Cold Spray

    SBC: VRC Metal Systems, LLC            Topic: 10c

    A major problem facing the existing U.S. fleet of Light Water Reactor facilities is stress corrosion cracking of austenitic nickel and iron alloys, which comprise the bulk of wetted components in LWR facilities; up to 70% of wetted non-fuel areas in a typical facility, making this problem particularly widespread and especially prevalent with extended service life. Cold spray technology offers an e ...

  10. In Situ Stress Corrosion Crack Repair and Mitigation

    SBC: VRC Metal Systems, LLC            Topic: 34b

    The U.S. depends on its fleet of nuclear facilities for the clean and reliable generation of electricity. With much uncertainty facing long term, geologic storage facilities, long duration on-site waste storage is being considered. VRC Metal Systems, in collaboration with our academic research partner, the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology (SDSM&T), and our robotics system developer, Rob ...
