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. Research and Development of an Advanced Turbo Vapor Compression System

    SBC: Energent Corporation            Topic: 11b

    Refrigeration uses 23% of the electricity generated in the United States. Thus, any improvement to the energy efficiency of Vapor Compression Systems ¿ used for air conditioning, heat pumps, and industrial refrigeration ¿ can result in a major reduction in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, new cycles and/or refrigerants must be developed. This project will develo ...

  2. HIGH EFFICIENCY TAR SAND OIL RECOVERY

    SBC: Energy Recovery Technology            Topic: N/A

    THE COUNTER CURRENT SOLID STREAMS HEAT TRANSFER (CCSSHT) RETORT IS A TAR SAND BITUMEN OIL RECOVERY CONCEPT THAT ENABLES MULTIPLE FEATURES OF EFFICIENCY, ECONOMY AND MITIGATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. THE HIGH EFFICIENCY DERIVES PRIMARILY FROM THE FACTS THAT THE CCSSHT SYSTEM (1) RECOVERS THE SPENT SAND HEAT TO PREHEAT THE FEED ORE, (2) THOROUGHLY BURNS AND USES THE COKE ENERGY AND (3) OPERATES WI ...

  3. THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE USING PERLITE/PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL COMPOSITE

    SBC: Energy Science Laboratories, Inc.            Topic: N/A

    THIS STUDY PROPOSES INVESTIGATING THE FEASIBILITY OF USING EXPANDED PERLITE, SATURATED WITH A PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL WITHOUT HERMETIC SEALING, TO SHIFT SPACE CONDITIONING LOADS IN HOMES AND SMALL BUSINESS STRUCTURES. A METHOD HAS BEEN FOUND TO IMPREGNATE POPPED PERLITE GRANULES WITH A LIQUID PHASE CHANGE MATERIAL (PCM) SUCH AS CALCIUM CHLORIDE HEXAHYDRATESUCH THAT THE GRANULES, WHEN SATURATED, REMA ...

  5. HgTe/CdTe Superlattice FTIR Detectors Optimized for the 300-to-1000 cm-1 Region

    SBC: EPIR TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 58c

    The 300-1000 cm-1 spectral region, commonly referred to as the fingerprint region, is rich in spectral signatures; also, blackbody emission at room temperature peaks in this region. Thus, high-resolution infrared (IR) detectors sensitive in this region are seriously needed for the remote sensing of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), especially nuclear weapons. However, existing IR detectors do n ...

  6. Low Draft Temperature Sensor Gen-IV Simulation Test Planning and Hardware Development

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 53a

    No method exists for testing fiber optic sensors to Gen-IV reactor relevant environments, especially the very high temperature reactors (VHTR). Luna is currently funded to develop drift-free fiber optic sensors for measurement of temperature in Gen-IV reactors, especially the next generation nuclear plants (NGNP). These reactors are planned to operate at temperatures above 1000°C and neutron flu ...

  7. Highly Efficient Organic Solar Cells Using Low Band Gap Polymers and Novel Acceptor Materials

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 23b

    Photovoltaics is a promising clean tech approach to energy production. Organic solar cells show particular promise because they have the potential for light-weight, flexible devices with potentially low material and production costs. However, current donor materials used in organic solar cells do not absorb photons in large portions of the solar spectrum, thereby leading to inefficient photon ha ...

  8. Harsh Environment Sensor Packaging (Sensor Pack)

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 31b

    While a variety of advanced fiber optic sensors have been developed, many of these are not packaged for use in the harsh environments associated with power generation equipment. What is needed is universal sensor packaging that is compatible with a variety of sensor types and power generation systems, for use in harsh environments up to 1200°C. Pressure and temperature sensors compatible with t ...

  9. Ultrasonic In-Situ Characterization of Tank Waste

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 65a

    The estimated cost for the retrieval, treatment, and disposal of underground and above-ground waste at DOE facilities exceeds $50 billion. At the high waste concentrations in storage tanks at these facilities, current waste characterization technologies are not effective; consequently, a significant dilution of the waste is required for characterization, which generates even more waste to be proc ...

  10. Asymmetric Electrochemical Capacitors for Hybrid Vehicle Technology

    SBC: LUNA INNOVATIONS INCORPORATED            Topic: 15b

    Energy storage technology, including batteries and electrochemical capacitors, is one of the critical technical barriers to the development of cost-effective hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs). HEVs and PHEVs require high energy storage density and high power density so that they can deliver high power pulses and accept high power recharging pulses from r ...
