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. Energy Deposition Techniques to Improve Scramjet Performance

    SBC: PHYSICS, MATERIALS, AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS RESEARCH L.L.C.            Topic: AF083121

    The proposed program will explore the deposition of energy in a scramjet inlet to (re)start supersonic/hypersonic flow, without any moving parts or actuators. The resulting expansion and heating can prompt flow-control that favors inlet-(re)starting. The approach can integrate well with other supersonic/hypersonic flow-control applications, which will further be considered in the course of the pro ...

  8. Updateable 3D Display Using Large Area Photorefractive Polymer Devices

    SBC: TIPD LLC            Topic: AF08T001

    The overall goal of this proposal is to develop a large area updateable 3D color display using unique photorefractive (PR) polymers with fast writing times (ms), long persistence (hours) and rapid erasure (seconds). As published in a recent Nature paper, the University of Arizona team has demonstrated for the first time that photorefractive polymers may be used for 3D displays with an image persi ...

  10. A Computational Tool for Modeling Geometric Proximity of Independent Systems

    SBC: D&P L.L.C.            Topic: AF083268

    This SBIR Phase I project proposes to develop an accurate viscous CFD algorithm which can include various small gaps between both static and moving components into the analysis. It is not an easy task to model those small gaps in the current CFD codes due to the geometric proximity, especially for moving components. However, those small gaps may have a significant impact on the aerodynamic, aeroel ...
