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. Large-Area Superconducting Tape Processing Using Novel Inverted Cylindrical Magnetron PVD/Etch/e-CVD Technique

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: C5630a

    This SBIR project addresses the need for scalable manufacturing techniques for high-quality coatings on Gen2.5 rare-earth barium copper oxide (REBCO) high-temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes needed for high-beta magnetic containment nuclear fusion concepts. Volumetric fusion power density is proportional to B4, so a doubling in current leads to a factor of 16× reduction in size/economics or i ...

  2. Coatings for SiC LWR fuel claddings using quasi-conformal PVD and e-CVD IMPULSE® HiPIMS coatings direct onto the CMC

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: C5640v

    This SBIR project addresses the need for scalable manufacturing techniques for high-quality coatings for accident tolerant fuel (ATF) for current nuclear power plants to provide: (1) enhanced safety during design basis and beyond design basis (>1200°C) accident conditions, (2) provide better performance to enable higher linear heat (>7kW/ft, >20% uprate) generation during baseline operation to en ...

  3. Next-generation HiPIMS for e-CVD, PVD, etch, and precision implantation control for PV Manufacturing

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: C5616a

    The goal of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) is to accelerate the development and deployment of solar technology to support an equitable transition to a decarbonized electricity system by 2035 and decarbonized energy sector by 2050. The cost of solar electricity is driven by global economies of scale, materials innovation at the cell level, and disruptive ...

  4. Optimization of the gain layer design for radiation hard LGAD based silicon detectors

    SBC: EPIR, INC.            Topic: C5637a

    C56-37a-272608More stringent challenges, as required by future high energy physics experiments, require higher radiation tolerance and higher granularity to the silicon detectors. Recently developed precision timing detector technology based on silicon Low Gain Avalanche Diode (LGAD) although exhibits excellent timing performance, cannot attain 10 µm position resolution needed for advanced 4D det ...

  5. Functionalized Polymeric Resins for High-Purity Separations of Rare Earth Elements

    SBC: NUMAT TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: C5604a

    Rare earth elements play a crucial role in the modern economy; these materials are essential for many industrial applications including medical imaging, personal electronic devices, optical displays, lasers, and magnets. Rare earth elements are attractive raw materials for modern industries due to their distinct electronic properties, but their nearly indistinct chemical properties make them very ...

  6. Using Metal-Organic Frameworks and Enriching Pressure Swing Adsorption Cycles for Future Radionuclide Monitoring Systems

    SBC: NUMAT TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: C5607b

    First-generation noble gas detection systems currently used by the International Monitoring System (IMS) operate in a similar manner: air is pumped into an activated carbon sieve bed where the radioxenon is isolated. Contaminants are removed, including water, carbon dioxide, and dust. As a result, the sorbent has concentrated xenon, both naturally abundant isotopes and radioactive isotopes, from t ...

  7. MIE Photo Sensor Digital Photon Counters

    SBC: PIXELEXX SYSTEMS, INC            Topic: C5638a

    The detection of photons, the elementary particles of light, is not only central to the exploration of the fundamental nature of energy, matter, space and time, but it also plays an important role in applications such as such as hazard & threat detection, 3D-sensing such as light/laser detection and ranging (LIDAR/LADAR), low light imaging, astronomy, quantum information science, biophotonics, med ...

  8. Bipolar plate manufacturing and reconditioning using next-generation IMPULSE® HiPIMS etching, surface preparation, and pinhole-free deposition of corrosion-resistant, low-ICR coatings

    SBC: STARFIRE INDUSTRIES LLC            Topic: C5618j

    Bipolar plates (BP) are a critical component in proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFC) providing conducting paths for electrons between cells, distribute and provide a barrier for reactant gases, remove waste heat, and provide stack structural integrity. Metallic BP (such as 316SS) have attracted attention for automotive applications due to superior mechanical and physical properties for larg ...
