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. Continuous Fermentation Bioprocess Resolving Food Waste Issues from Greek Yogurt Production

    SBC: CAPRO-X INC            Topic: 20OSAPEP2

    Capro-X, Inc. is a biotechnology company that was founded in 2017 with the goal of decreasing the expense and environmental impact associated with the handling of dairy production wastes and byproducts. Using a novel fermentation process, called the WheyAway, Capro-X converts lactose-containing dairy industry process streams into treated water and a mixture of valuable fatty acid chemicals. The Wh ...

  2. Development of a near-real-time analytical system for measurement of N-nitrosamines in water reuse.

    SBC: HYPERION ANALYTICAL LLC            Topic: 20OSAPE1A

    Trace organic compounds are a major challenge for water reuse. N-nitrosamines and NDMA in particular are of concern because they occur in treated wastewaters at levels closest to those of potential human health concern. These are formed as a disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in treatment processes used in water recycling. NDMA limits and monitoring requirements are included in most permitting require ...

  3. Chemical Sensor-Modulated Transistors for Water Treatment Performance Monitoring

    SBC: INTELLIGENT OPTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 20OSAPE1A

    The growing scarcity of potable water is increasing pressure on public health, the environment, and the economy, intensifying the clear and present need to advance water recycling and reclamation technologies. To that end, the EPA and has announced the National Water Reuse Action Plan (WRAP). Annual spending on water reuse is $1.8 billion, expected to increase by ~30% by 2027. As the water reuse m ...

  4. Laser-based In-situ Testing of Microbes with Ultraviolet Spectroscopy (LITMUS)

    SBC: PHOTON SYSTEMS, INC            Topic: 20OSAPE1A

    This proposal addresses the need for continuous microbial monitoring in water reuse treatment systems. The proposal will lead to a near-real-time, in-situ, reagentless sensor for potable and non-potable water systems. LITMUS (Laser-based Insitu Testing of Microbes with Ultraviolet Spectroscopy) uses deep UV laser excitation to directly detect microbes from the autofluorescence of protein-bound aro ...

  5. Electrochemical removal of contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) using modular water reuse system

    SBC: Faraday Technology, Inc.            Topic: 20OSAPE1B

    Facing water shortages, water reuse offers an opportunity to significantly expand supplies of freshwater in communities. Water reuse demands technologies that can efficiently remove emerging contaminants from effluent discharge. Pharmaceuticals are recognized as emerging contaminants due to their bioactivity, wide usage, potential health and ecological risks. Phase I will demonstrate the feasibili ...

  6. Zero-Waste (ZeWa) water and energy recovery system

    SBC: Triangle Environmental Health Initiative LLC            Topic: 20OSAPE1B

    Triangle Environmental proposes the Zero-Waste (ZeWa) water and energy recovery system; a netenergy positive onsite wastewater treatment system to eliminate brine and produce three output streams for reuse. Aging sewer infrastructure coupled with a growing population and sewer demand in the US have fostered a shift to higher usage of onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS). In the US, decentra ...

  7. Ultrasonic PVDF Reduces Membrane Fouling for Efficient Water Reuse

    SBC: PURE BLUE TECH INC.            Topic: 20OSAPE1B

    Membranes are the gold standard for water treatment and reuse. However, membrane fouling inhibits flux, wastes energy, requires cleaning and replacement, and disables concentrate recirculation. Pure Blue Tech proposes ultrasonic PVDF transducers be embedded within membrane systems to reduce fouling. This innovation has potential to transform the economics of membrane operations and water reuse. Pu ...

  8. Point of Source Sewage Treatment Device

    SBC: FHNC LTD. CO.            Topic: 20OSAPE1B

    Fats, oils and greases (FOGs) cause 75% of sewer systems in the US to operate at 50% capacity, cost US cities over $20 billion in sewer maintenance, and cause over 40,000 sewer overflows annually. Most commercial kitchens are required by law to remove FOGs with a grease interceptor from wastewater before emitting into public sewers. In order to reduce sewer maintenance costs and overflows while in ...

  9. Durable Hydrophobic Membranes with Reduced Fouling for Water Purification Systems

    SBC: NANOSONIC INC.            Topic: 20OSAPE1B

    The safety, security and survivability of mankind are dependent on clean water. Nearly 41% of Earthfs population lives in water]stressed areas, and this will be exacerbated by continuing population growth. To obtain an adequate and sustainable supply of water, it is important to improve already existing methods and develop new and effective technologies for water reuse, reclamation and purific ...

  10. Open Path Analyzer for Accurate, ppt-level Quantification of EtO via Mid-Infrared Cavity Enhanced Spectrometry

    SBC: NIKIRA LABS INC.            Topic: 20OSAPE2A

    In this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) effort, Nikira Labs Inc. proposes to utilize open-path, mid-infrared cavity enhanced absorption spectrometry to develop a sensitive (< 10 ppt), fast (< 100 seconds), and highly-selective ethylene oxide (EtO) analyzer suitable for field-deployment. The US EPA has concluded that EtO, which is widely used in ethylene glycol production and medical ster ...
