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. An Advanced Algorithm for Radar Derived Bathymetry

    SBC: Arete Associates            Topic: 91

    NOAA can reduce costs and improve efficiency by remotely monitoring harbors, navigation channels and coastlines for bathymetric changes. This will aid NOAA and its mission to maintain waterways and assure maritime safety. This remote sensing can be accomplished by implementing a new radar derived bathymetry capability. Areté Associated proposes to implement an advanced algorithm to derive bath ...

  2. A NEW MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUE FOR ACCURATELY FORECASTING EXTREME PRECIPITATION FROM LANDFALLING ATMOSPHERIC RIVERS

    SBC: INNOVIM, LLC            Topic: 9503

    Atmospheric rivers transport large volumes of water vapor outside the tropics and when landfalling, produce large quantities of rain that replenish aquifers, contribute to beneficial increases in snowpack, yet can cause flooding and damage. Accurate forecasts of precipitation during landfalling atmospheric rivers are critical because they play a large role in water supply and flooding. However, th ...

  3. An Innovative Approach to Seafloor Classification: Applying Advanced Unsupervised Machine Learning in Complex and Variable Bottom Types with Multispectral Satellite Imagery

    SBC: TCARTA MARINE LLC            Topic: 9603

    Machine learning and unsupervised classification have been applied to seafloor classification and benthic mapping using multibeam echosounders (MBES), Light Ranging and Detection (LiDAR), airborne hyperspectral, underwater optical cameras, and satellite imagery. Regardless of the sensor, data dimensionality reduction is an integral processing step of seabed mapping workflows . The most commonly im ...

  4. (Anno) Tator Online: A Web Application for Exploration and Curation of Underwater Video and Imagery

    SBC: CVISION AI INC            Topic: 9302

    Using modern web technologies, we will build an application that can be used to explore, enrich, and evaluate the wealth of underwater video and imagery being collected by NOAA and its partners. Existing data portals are primarily for text based or keyword search, and for viewing of existing data, lacking the ability for rich interaction, visualization of metadata, and adding new types of annotati ...

  5. (Anno)Tator Online: A Web Application for Exploration and Curation of Underwater Video and Imagery

    SBC: CVISION AI INC            Topic: 9302

    During phase I we created a web-based media analytics platform, Tator, as a foundation for the exploration, enrichment, and evaluation of underwater video and imagery. Tator supports collaborative annotation, customizable metadata, advanced playback features, third-party programming interfaces, and registering and running algorithm workflows. In phase II we will expand the core capabilities of Tat ...

  6. An Ultrawideband RFI-Mitigating Software Defined Radiometer

    SBC: DeepSpace Technologies, Inc            Topic: 94

    Anthropogenic Radio-Frequency Interference (RFI), or interference from human-generated sources, continues to plague spaceborne microwave radiometer and sounder instruments. Unmitigated RFI adversely affects the quality and reliability of Earth remote sensing data used for determining water availability, quality, and risk. Proliferation of wireless technologies, Earth-orbiting commercial satellite ...

  7. Applications of AI to ensemble forecasts of compound extreme weather events in support of operational adaptation of electric utilities

    SBC: CLIMATE FORECAST APPLICATIONS NETWORK, LLC            Topic: 91

    We propose a high-impact innovation for weather forecasting that integrates global ensemble weather forecasts with an AI-driven post-processing model of extreme weather indices. This innovation will provide the basis for skillful probabilistic forecasts of compound extreme weather events at extended lead times. Extreme weather/climate events of relevance to electric utilities focused on in Phase I ...

  8. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms for predictive maintenance using NOAA data-sets for renewable energy assets

    SBC: 60Hertz Incorporated            Topic: 92

    We propose to use Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) measurements as an early warning system, to cue on-site validation of the soiling station and any available meteorological (MET) station data to validate if a work order to clean deposited particulate matter is necessary. This would move from reactive maintenance – often weeks delayed, to proactive maintenance – getting ahead of the weather impact ...

  9. Artificial Intelligence (AI) based algorithms for predictive maintenance using NOAA data-sets for renewable energy assets

    SBC: 60Hertz Incorporated            Topic: 92

    This research aims to develop decision support tools for better maintenance and planning of renewable energy generation and storage assets using atmospheric, local weather, and on-ground environmental data blended with site-, regional- and national-generation data. The study will use a combination of these data to understand the relationship between non-cloud cover based atmospheric conditions and ...

  10. A Single Aperature Dual-Wavelength Dual Polarized Antenna for AWRAP

    SBC: REMOTE SENSING SOLUTIONS, INC.            Topic: 834D

    Severe weather impacts our daily lives, society and nation’s economy. From an average of $10B (2005 dollars) annual loss due to tropical cyclones since 1900 to $200B in the commercial shipping industry that is threatened by severe ocean storms to the hundreds of lives and assets being lost in the $20B recreational boating industry. In these cases and many more, accurate now-casting and forecasti ...
