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. Low Energy Carbonization of PAN Fibers

    SBC: TDA RESEARCH, INC.            Topic: 11c

    Carbon fiber production from polyacrylonitrile PAN) feedstock remains an energy-intensive and expensive process, despite tremendous progress during the preceding decades. The process involved multiple high-temperature processing steps and moderately high feedstock costs. TDA proposes to development methods that will lower both the carbon fiber cost and the energy required for their manufacture by ...

  2. Magnetocaloric Generator for Waste Heat Recovery

    SBC: Aqwest, LLC            Topic: 11d

    A 2008 DOE report [1] indicated that up to 903 terra-btu per year of unrecovered low-level industrial waste heat IWH) in the US is available for conversion to electricity. Converting this heat to electricity at 30% conversion efficiency would produce ~9 GW of electric power, an equivalent to about 4.5 Hoover Dam outputs. Efficient low-cost recovery of low-level IWH at significant scale could displ ...

  3. Low-Cost, High-Efficiency Direct Energy Conversion of Infrared Radiation to Electricity with Tunable Plasmonic Structures

    SBC: ITN ENERGY SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 11d

    The industrial sector accounted for ~31 Quads of the ~97.4 Quads of primary U.S. energy used in 2013. More than half of this energy 59.0 Quads) was lost as waste heat, much of it at low temperatures. There is currently no commercially viable technology for capturing low grade heat with temperatures

  4. Switchable Polarity Freeze Suppression for Distributed Thermal Energy Storage

    SBC: REBOUND TECHNOLOGIES, INC.            Topic: 13b

    Renewable energy deployment and the resulting load variability have amplified the need for advanced systems that provide increased energy dispatchability. Additionally, the high operating cost, low efficiency, and high refrigerant leak rates are driving refrigeration equipment research and development. Currently, these two issues are being addressed independently by work focusing on stand-alone e ...

  5. Solar Retina: Crowd-Sourcing "Behind-the-Meter" Solar PV Data

    SBC: Enduring Energy, LLC            Topic: 16a

    Electricity generation from solar installations continues to grow at a furious rate, with a large share of new solar capacity being installed on residential and commercial buildings. This rise in solar capacity on the distribution grid is beginning to create real challenges for grid planners and operators. Increasing solar generation at the distribution edge can affect power quality and reliabilit ...

  6. Ionic Liquid Enabled High-Energy Li-ion Battery

    SBC: Siilion, Inc            Topic: 17a

    While rechargeable lithium-ion batteries have dominated the portable electronics market for nearly a decade, they have failed to gain widespread commercial success in high power and high capacity applications. Despite a slow rate of improvement in battery cost and capacity each year, demand for a battery providing 400 Wh/kg, or double the specific energy of current state-of-the-art lithium-ion bat ...

  7. Integrated Sensors for Water Quality

    SBC: SPORIAN MICROSYSTEMS, INC            Topic: 20b

    There is a present and growing emphasis on reducing or maintaining the wateruse footprint in the energy sector. One of the requirements for effectively managing water is monitoring through reliable, realtime, measurementbased data of water quality/composition within treatment systems and bodies of water associated with power generation facilities. Many existing water quality sensor technologies ar ...

  8. Stable, low-loss joints for HTS fusion magnets

    SBC: ADVANCED CONDUCTOR TECHNOLOGIES LLC            Topic: 22c

    The feasibility of fusion as a practical energy source needs to be improved significantly by removing some of the restrictions that low temperature superconductors put on the fusion magnet systems. One method to simplify the magnet system is by using high temperature superconductors that allow for a higher magnet performance and much larger temperature margins. The larger temperature margins allow ...

  9. Linear Media Handling System for Superconductor Cable Fabrication

    SBC: INFINITY PHYSICS LLC            Topic: 22c

    Superconductors offer the promise of tremendous energy savings and innovative devices due to increased energy and power density compared to existing limitations of conventional conductors. To date the expense of manufacturing and operating superconductors have limited their use in little more than first generation superconductor wound cables and magnets in nuclear magnetic resonance devices and sc ...

  10. Efficient 2-Micron Laser Driver for Laser Acceleration

    SBC: Aqwest, LLC            Topic: 28a

    Laser plasma accelerators LPA) enabled by the Tm laser driver to be developed by this project offer much reduced size and cost compared to conventional accelerators of the same energy. This would drastically cut the cost of high- energy particle research on collider-based facilities and advanced light sources. Planned conventional accelerators e.g., for the proposed International Linear Collider) ...
