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. Optical Probe for Rapid In-Situ Survey of Soil Moisture and Carbon

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: 22b

    An important goal of current biological research is being able to capture and adequately model the complex processes that mediate subsurface-microbe-plant-atmosphere interactions and responses- In particular, computing hardware has advanced to the point where high resolution biogeochemical conditions can be coupled to genomics-informed reactive transport models to study and visualize three-dimensi ...

  2. Controlled Porosity and Surface Coatings for Advanced Gas Diffusion Layers

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: 17b

    Polymer electrolyte fuel cells are a leading candidate to replace internal combustion engines for light duty vehicles, but their performance is below current targets- The gas diffusion layers in the fuel cell are one component that limits the performance- These limits can be addressed by structuring porosity in the gas diffusion layers to enhance transport mechanisms and provide greater durability ...

  3. Portable Hyperspectral Multiphoton Excitation Fluorescence Lifetime Microscopy Imager

    SBC: PHYSICAL SCIENCES INC.            Topic: 25a

    Discovering the real-time functions/dynamics of the cells in living organisms is a central goal of numerous biological studies- In plant biology, advanced knowledge of cell metabolism (a key cell function) could substantially accelerate the progression of cutting-edge bioengineering (e-g-, metabolic engineering) research aimed at improving modern agriculture and bio-energy production- However, pla ...

  4. In-situ characterization of interfaces between materials and molten salts for molten salt reactors

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: 13d

    Molten salts are a crucial component in the proposed advanced nuclear reactors called “molten salt reactors” (MSRs)- The appealing aspect of an MSR is that a meltdown is virtually impossible, since the fuel is dissolved into the salt- One of the key challenges hindering MSRs is corrosion of structural materials that hold the molten salt due to the interactions between material and molten salt ...

  5. The Ga-based Solid State Photomultipliers

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: 30a

    The design of future calorimeters used in nuclear physics experiments are limited by existing photodetector technologies, the photomultiplier tube and the silicon photomultiplier- The former requires high voltage, is not compact, and is sensitive to magnetic fields, where the latter is not radiation hard and is limited in area due to dark noise- The fundamental silicon photomultiplier design is to ...

  6. Expanding Access to Electronic Property Modeling in Scintillator Crystal Growth and Development

    SBC: RADIATION MONITORING DEVICES, INC.            Topic: 03a

    The development of radiation detection materials would benefit with greater access to computational models that relate physical traits seen in manufacture with complex energy transitions occurring in the material that control operating performance. However, the HPC requirements behind these models remain beyond the reach of most businesses involved in this small yet vital field impacting National ...

  7. Supercritical Treatment Technology for Water Purification

    SBC: ENVERGEX LLC            Topic: 20a

    Wastewater from oil and gas production has high total dissolved solids (TDS) and organics and needs to be treated for safe disposal or reuse. Coal-fired power plant discharges and mining effluents share similar high TDS and organic contents. This project targets the development of an energy efficient, and robust supercritical desalination technology to treat hypersaline solutions, destroying organ ...

  8. Manufacture of 2,5-Furandicarboxylic Acid from Furfural Produced from a Wet Waste Stream

    SBC: KSE, INC.            Topic: 14c

    The proposed program provides a new biomass conversion technology to produce FDCA, 2,5- furandicarboxylic acid, to replace hydrocarbon chemicals for production of plasticizers and polyester polymers. FDCA is currently produced from hexose carbohydrates, such as sucrose or high fructose corn syrup. Recent trends in petroleum pricing have reduced biomass raw material cost advantages for replacement ...

  9. Photonic Memory Controller Module (P-MCM)

    SBC: ANALOG PHOTONICS LLC            Topic: 04a

    As computational density for high-performance computing and big-data services continues to scale, performance scalability of next generation computing systems is becoming increasingly constrained by limitations in memory access, power dissipation and chip packaging. The processor-memory communication bottleneck, a major challenge in current multicore processors due to limited pin-out and power bud ...

  10. Development of an Autonomous Aerosol Chemical Speciation Monitor with Integrated Calibration and Quality Assurance Capability

    SBC: AERODYNE RESEARCH INC            Topic: 20b

    Clouds play leading role in the Earth's global energy and solar radiation balance. Improving cloud models requires information on the cloud microphysical properties, such as particle size distribution and concentration, cloud composition (droplets, ice particles) and also information on ice crystal shapes (habits). New lightweight and low power instruments for characterization of mixed-phase cloud ...
