About
SBIR.gov is slow, dated, and painful to work in. SBIR Signal is the faster, cleaner way to find and track SBIR/STTR awards — built for the small defense firms that actually chase this funding.
We're built by Knonix, a defense technology company. The data is official federal award data from USASpending.gov, refreshed daily — 70,470 SBIR/STTR awards across 14 agencies and $36.9B in federal R&D funding, all in one searchable feed.
Paste a capability statement and get ranked award matches in about 60 seconds — no login required. Then dig in: search, filter, and track the awards that matter to your firm.
Where the data comes from
Award records are sourced from USASpending.gov, the official source of U.S. federal spending data. We ingest SBIR/STTR contract awards, parse the program (SBIR vs. STTR) and phase (I/II/III), and present them in a searchable, filterable feed. Each award links back to its full record on USASpending.gov.
