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. Analyzing Narrative Evolution Across Social Networks

    SBC: KAIROS RESEARCH LLC            Topic: SOCOM234001

    Narratives organize and motivate social networks, enabling them to process and interpret complex events and take individual and collective action in response. However, while past work on narrative extraction and analysis provides useful ‘snapshots’ of a narrative at a given point in time, it generally fails to 1) distinguish over-arching, foundational narratives from concrete, focal events tha ...
