The Award database is continually updated throughout the year. As a result, data for FY23 is not expected to be complete until September, 2024.

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. Smart Buoy Device to Locate Ropeless Fishing Gear

    SBC: Blue Ocean Gear Inc.            Topic: 9204

    Responsible operation of ropeless fishing gear to avoid whale entanglements must involve a method of retrieval if the gear surfaces at a different place and/or time than expected. Blue Ocean Gear will demonstrate the capability of innovative Smart Buoy devices to detect and locate ropeless buoy systems once they have reached the surface, whether planned or unplanned. This will improve commercial o ...

  2. Rapid Point of Use Method to Identify Seafood Species

    SBC: LYNNTECH INC.            Topic: 9202

    Species substitution with a product of lesser value has become an increasing problem within the seafood industry. Increased international trade, rising consumption rates, and high profit incentives have all contributed to the intentional mislabeling of seafood. While whole, unprocessed fish can generally be identified by their morphological features, processing of seafood makes identification chal ...

  3. BLOS Kit with Acoustic Sensor for Non-Cooperative Aircraft

    SBC: SCIENTIFIC APPLICATIONS & RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC.            Topic: 9501

    SARA proposes to integrate a Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) system on a NOAA-selected UAS platform. The BLOS system will detect cooperative aircraft as well as non-cooperative aircraft by including SARA’s Passive Acoustic Non-cooperative aircraft Collision Avoidance System (PANCAS). PANCAS is an acoustic system which is low weight, low cost and has a 360-degree field of view. SARA will develop a sa ...

  4. Enhancing Subseasonal and Seasonal (S2S) Forecasts

    SBC: PRESCIENT WEATHER LTD            Topic: 9301

    Computer forecasts of weather and climate variability created by the U.S. and other nations on the subseasonal scale (weeks) and on the seasonal scale (months) are increasingly used by private and public activities to mitigate risk and seize opportunity. These forecasts are produced as ensembles of tens of individual computer forecasts and are most useful when calibrated by comparing histories of ...

  5. A Tide To Table Traceability and Marketing System for Shellfish Aquaculture.

    SBC: Shellfish Solutions Inc.            Topic: 9101

    In 2017 the CDC estimated 35,000 American got sick from Vibrio parahaemolyticus transmitted by shellfish--a 54% increase. However, according to the co-chair of the Interstate Shellfish Sanitation Commission, “Our current system of traceback is inadequate.... Records are lost. Handwriting is illegible. More than half of all traceback investigations fail because the information in the value chain ...

  6. Non-Equilibrium Short-Pulsed Discharge for Removal of Antibiotics and Pathogens from Water used in Aquacultural Facilities

    SBC: AA PLASMA LLC            Topic: 9101

    "Seafood consumption in the United States has risen to over 50% per capita over the last 25 years with over 75% of total U.S. seafood consumption coming from import. These trends, if continued, place a high importance on the safety aspect of seafood trade. Despite the lack of evidence supporting higher risk in imported food, many of the U.S. seafood import sources are located in tropical areas whe ...

  7. Rapid, Simple Diagnostic for Pathogens in Marine Aquaculture

    SBC: LYNNTECH INC.            Topic: 9102

    "Chronic malnourishment globally affects more than 800 million people with an expected population growth of another 2 billion over the next 30 years. Today, aquaculture accounts for nearly 50 percent of the world’s food fish and is one of the fastest growing food-producing sectors. The biggest threat to global aquaculture production is infectious disease. While marine diseases are a naturally oc ...

  8. Continuous eDNA Monitoring for Early Detection of Aquaculture Diseases

    SBC: CD3, General Benefit Corporation            Topic: 9102

    As aquaculture increases productivity to meet worldwide demand, it faces an increasing threat from the spread of disease, aquatic organisms, and pathogens. However, biosensor technologies have not kept pace with the need to monitor these ever-increasing threats. In particular, biomonitoring has been limited by the need for continuous human presence, whether at the point of collection or in the lab ...

  9. Identifying genetic markers of resistance to POMS (Pacific oyster mortality syndrome)

    SBC: Pacific Hybreed, Inc.            Topic: 9103

    Pacific oyster mortality syndrome (POMS), which is caused by the virus OsHV-1, has devastated oyster farming globally and threatens the $225 million shellfish aquaculture industry on the U.S. West Coast. Lacking typical treatment or control measures, POMS progresses rapidly, causing up to 100% losses; once detected in a growing area, the virus remains and spreads. On the other hand, breeding for P ...

  10. Low Cost Ocean Temperature Profile Sensing

    SBC: CREARE LLC            Topic: 9202

    Changes in ocean temperature have a profound impact on the productivity of fisheries and aquaculture. Sampling offshore ocean temperatures, particularly at depth, is challenging and expensive. As commercial fishermen are becoming more and more aware of the correlations between water temperature and harvest, opportunistic sampling from fishing gear can help fill this sampling need. Existing opportu ...
