About this data

One entry per agency program: each agency on sbir.gov’s Participating Federal Agencies page, once for SBIR and once for STTR when it runs both. Awards and dollars are counted from sbir.gov’s award file (award_data_no_abstract.csv, linked from https://www.sbir.gov/data-resources, dated 2026-10-07) by its Agency, Program, Award Year (“the fiscal year of the award”) and Award Amount columns; Phase II counts awards whose phase begins “Phase II”, including Direct to Phase II. Fiscal year 2024 is the latest in which every listed agency has awards in the file (6,412 awards, $4.91 billion in all): when read, fiscal year 2025 had 5,219 awards and none from Department of Agriculture; fiscal year 2026 had 303 awards and none from Department of Agriculture, Department of Commerce, Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, Department of Homeland Security, Department of Transportation, Environmental Protection Agency, National Aeronautics and Space Administration; agencies report to sbir.gov after a year ends, so later years are still filling in. The Phase I and Phase II amounts, the funding type and the agency’s program page (the link the page labels “Agency Website”; Commerce has one for NIST and one for NOAA) are as the agencies page gives them, per agency and not per program. The page heads the Department of Defense’s card “Department of War (DOW)”; the award file calls it the Department of Defense, as here. No company, award title or person in the award file is read. As of October 7, 2026. Source: SBIR.gov award data and participating agencies. Organizations only: no individuals are listed. A listing is a public record, not a recommendation.
