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. Sustainable Cellulosic Base-Oils

    SBC: RIKARBON INC            Topic: 28b

    Accidentally released lubricants into water bodies from marine applications, off-shore turbines, hydropower production turbines and other non-commercial marine applications challenge safe water recycling and management, and has invited a number of lawsuits. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, up to 16 million gallons of lubricants per year  equating to 1.5 times the size of the Ex ...

  2. Fast, Radiation Tolerant Detector for Thermal Neutrons

    SBC: Applied Diamond, Inc.            Topic: 20b

    Neutron reflectometry is a powerful technique to study depth profiles in thin film samples. The spallation neutron source at ORNL, for example, has dedicated beam-lines for magnetism reflectometry and liquids reflectometry, which use specular and off-specular neutron reflection to study magnetism and solid/liquid interfaces for a broad range of applications. Given that interfaces are literally eve ...

  3. Fast, Large Area Detector for Position and Energy Determination

    SBC: Applied Diamond, Inc.            Topic: 38b

    To study nuclei and nuclear reactions, scientists collide stable and rare isotope ion beams like those generated at the Cyclotron Institute at Texas A&M University into targets of various elements and measure the resulting products of these collisions. The data collected from these nuclear reactions can provide information for several research endeavors, such as nuclear structure, nuclear astrophy ...

  4. Commercialization of Large-Scale Distributed Heterogeneous Fast Fourier Transform

    SBC: EXTREME SCALE SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: 07b

    There are many commercial and open source high-performance FFT implementations. However, they are typically restricted to single node systems and possibly multiple GPU systems. If the size of the problem does not fit within the CPU or GPU memory of a single node, users are left with very specialized or ad-hoc solutions. To serve this market segment, we will build a robust distributed (multi-node) ...

  5. TACO: Distributed and Heterogeneous Sparse Compiler

    SBC: EXTREME SCALE SOLUTIONS LLC            Topic: 07b

    Tensor Algebra Compiler (TACO) is a compiler that compiles sparse tensor operations. It been shown to be competitive with or surpass manually optimized high-performance sparse linear and tensor algebra libraries like Eigen, Intel MKL, and SPLATT, while generalizing to any sparse tensor algebra expression on many different types of data structures. The current version of TACO has limited single-GPU ...

  6. Low Cost Membranes for Carbon Capture

    SBC: COMPACT MEMBRANE SYSTEMS, INC.            Topic: 25b

    Carbon dioxide post-combustion capture is one of the leading solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from coal-fired power plants. Coal contributed to 37% of the total US electricity generation in 2012. But the burning of coal releases twice as much carbon dioxide as the burning of natural gas to generate the same amount of electricity. To solve the problem of carbon dioxide removal, membrane ...

  7. SBIR Phase I: Use of ultraviolet light as a treatment for pathogens in strawberry fields

    SBC: TRIC ROBOTICS INC.            Topic: R

    The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to accelerate the transition from chemical pesticides to non-chemical alternatives by providing farmers with a sustainable, long-term solution for managing plant diseases (e.g., fungus), while reducing agricultural impacts on human health and the environment. Organic farms lack effective fu ...

  8. Upcycling Ocean-based Plastics for Sustainable Feedstock Supply Chain

    SBC: RIKARBON INC            Topic: 07b

    Plastics are ubiquitous in modern life. Global production of plastics has reached about 400 million tons annually. Total plastics production has increased by 36% in the past decade and is estimated to grow to 700 million tons in 2030. Over 10% of used plastics ends up in the ocean. Ocean vortices form “garbage patches” or “stomachsize colorful plastic piles” of disposed plastics and attrac ...

  9. Enhanced Process Control of Electron Beam Additive Manufacturing

    SBC: SCIAKY INC            Topic: Z4

    Sciaky has been witness to a number of process deviations that have resulted in component defects. One such ldquo;defectrdquo; is related to metal vapor condensate contamination. One of the benefits of the EBAM process is its efficient use of power as well as the high purity vacuum environment. These process characteristics allow EBAM to provide fast deposition speeds that in many cases lead the i ...

  10. Record-SWaP Photonic Cognitive System: Photonic Tensor Cores for Spacecraft & Autonomous Systems Data Processing

    SBC: OPTELLIGENCE LLC            Topic: H6

    Smaller matrix multiplication for less complex inference tasks are still challenged by a non-negligible latency predominantly due to the access overhead of the various memory hierarchies and the latency in executing each instruction in the GPU. Given this context of computational hardware for obtaining architectures, it is necessary to explore and reinvent the operational paradigms of current comp ...
