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. Enhanced Modeling and Simulation of Hypersonics

    SBC: SPECTRAL SCIENCES INC            Topic: NGA203002

    The conditions encountered by hypersonic vehicles are complex due to the non-linear, strong interaction between the flow field environment and vehicle.  Successful modeling requires multi-physics capabilities that can properly take into account high-temperature gas dynamics, which includes excitation of internal energy modes, finite-rate gas chemistry, turbulent flow, and complex plasma physics, ...
