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. Quiet Propeller using Carbon Nanotube Thin Film Thermophone

    SBC: GREAT LAKES SOUND & VIBRATION INC            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    The GLSV and MTU team are proposing a novel acoustic method using carbon nanotube (CNT) thin film as a thermophone embedded into the tip and trailing edge of advanced unmanned aerial vehicles to actively reduce propeller noise.  The of CNT thermophones in active noise cancellation has been demonstrated by the team in engine exhaust applications as well as fan applications to date.  The applicati ...

  3. Attenuating airborne and structure borne sound from an autonomous vehicle exhaust system using novel geometries

    SBC: Cobra Aero, LLC            Topic: AFX20DTCSO1

    Operational security cannot be understated.  The ever-changing face of warfare, particularly in frequent adversarial transition from state to non-state actors has required continual growth in the way our U.S. military approaches conflicts.  With increasing regularity, our front-line teams courageously enter tactical situations that have greater and greater strategic outcomes.    To that point ...

  4. Ruggedized, High-Resolution CZT Spectrometer for Operation in Inert Hot Cells

    SBC: H3D INC            Topic: 39c

    Effective nuclear material accounting and control in international safeguards requires tools capable of monitoring the use of special nuclear materials. Argon-filled hot cells, which are commonly used in fuel fabrication, represent a safeguards “blind spot” where traditional radiation detectors used in non- destructive assay struggle to operate. Furthermore, the poor spectral quality of even m ...

  5. Non-Intrusive Mercury Detection and Measurement

    SBC: H3D INC            Topic: 21b

    Contamination from mercury and other heavy metals in the environment can present a health risk to both humans and wildlife. Sources of these contaminants can be difficult to locate, especially if lost beneath the surface of old building materials and legacy equipment. This work will develop a portable imaging spectrometer for non-intrusive detection and localization of mercury hotspots. Depending ...

  6. Soil Moisture Flux Sensor using Machine Intelligence

    SBC: TRANSCEND ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY, LLC            Topic: 26a

    We are developing a machine intelligence (MI) that will infer vertical soil water flux from changes in vertical moisture distribution measured using available moisture sensors. This innovation addresses a serious information deficit that limits water management and conservation efforts, and will have immediate societal impact in high value agricultural regions such as California’s Central Valley ...

  7. Large Diffraction Grade Single Crystal Diamonds Grown by CVD

    SBC: GREAT LAKES CRYSTAL TECHNOLOGIES INC            Topic: 12a

    High scientific impact applications at synchrotron and free-electron laser (FEL) x-ray sources require improved x-ray optical elements. With high repetition-rate x-ray FELs and near diffraction-limited storage rings x-ray sources due to come on line in the near future, there will be even greater demand for their availability. Current x-ray optical elements based on legacy materials like silicon ca ...

  8. A cost-effective wildlife activity and mortality detection system for utility scale wind turbines

    SBC: WILDLIFE IMAGING SYSTEMS LLC            Topic: 19a

    There are many issues that a wind developer must consider when siting a wind project, but one that has become increasingly pressing in the U.S. is the effect of turbines on local wildlife. New onshore wind development is occurring in the US Midwest, MidAtlantic and Northeast, and has brought wind plants into greater conflict with wildlife, especially bats. The burgeoning US offshore wind industry ...

  9. A Novel Low-Cost, Miniaturized Hydrogen Sensor with High Robustness and Reliability for Continuous Hydrogen Monitoring

    SBC: 4D MAKER, LLC            Topic: 27b

    Hydrogen has been widely used in many applications from aerospace and chemicals to fuel cells and satellite power supply. Although hydrogen is not toxic, it has a very broad flammability range (4%-74% concentration in air and 4%-94% in oxygen), leading to explosion in the presence of heat source. Thus, hydrogen monitoring is of paramount importance during the processes of hydrogen production, tran ...

  10. Automated Coating Removal Tool

    SBC: CYBERNET SYSTEMS CORPORATION            Topic: AF183036

    The U.S. Air Force must perform regular inspection and maintenance on their aircraft to maintain fleet readiness and effectiveness in the face of aging aircraft populations and new high tech platforms with multilayer composite coatings. When a layer fails, proper repair requires the removal of the layers above the failed layer. Once the repair is complete, the coating must be properly rebuilt laye ...
