Abstract:The devastating traumatic injuries sustained by warfighters in OIF/OEF frequently involve the loss of large portions of bone, muscle and skin. Current management of tissue coverage and augmentation involves the use of existing host tissue to construct, for example, muscular flaps or grafts. In many… more
Abstract:A key application of the technological breakthrough associated with decreased cost of DNA sequencing is metagenomics. Metagenomics is the process of sequencing DNA from whole ecosystems, rather than individuals or cultures. This approach has the potential to allow the dissection of microbial… more
Abstract:The U.S. Navy is currently pursuing the development of a new line of light-weight, high-speed aluminum ships to supplement their aging fleet of steel hull vessels. Because these new aluminum vessels are designed for high-speed operation, they will be exposed to demanding seaway loads with bow… more
Abstract:This project is expected to make very lightweight, portable, and compact gantry robots able to build arrays of diverse items (or SKUs). Such arrays are commonly needed for palletizing, truck loading, and container loading in both industry and in the military. The process is currently often very… more
Abstract:The US Navy utilizes several corrosion control technologies to ensure that its ships and ship systems are protected from the harsh saltwater environment in which they operate. One of the most common corrosion control technologies utilized are barrier type coatings. These coatings act on the… more
Abstract:Traditional dark-colored roofs create high heat loads in warm/hot climates due to their strong absorption of solar radiation. White or metallic painted roofs provide a good technical solution but are unlikely to be adopted by consumers for aesthetic and other objections. New pigments that provide… more
Abstract:The Smart Grid opens the door to the development of many companion devices which will in turn enable the development of a variety of devices for household electricity-consuming appliances that can communicate with it; especially, many major appliance manufacturers (such as Whirlpool and General… more
Abstract:Most of the current commercially available refrigeration systems use a fluorocarbon based refrigerant such as R134 that has a significant total equivalent global warming impact. A large part of the global warming impact comes from the unavoidable release of the refrigerant into the atmosphere. There… more

Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I Project aims at developing an advanced biotechnology for bioremediation of animal wastewater by using oil-rich microalgae. Rapid growing animal farming industries (hog, poultry, cattle, and dairy) have generated tremendous amount of animal wastes that… more
Abstract:The technical objective of this proposal is to design a Precision Information Environment framework for DHS that synthesizes current and envisioned operational requirements with the latest research and technology while maximizing DHS`s current investment in command and control systems. In… more
Abstract:Honey bee populations, especially managed honey bees, have been adversely affected by Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD), Varroa destructor mite infestations and viral pathogens. A variety of viral pathogens have been identified as potential factors contributing to CCD, and viral pathogens are vectored… more
Abstract:Plant virus infections cause tremendous economic losses in agricultural production each year in the U.S. Potential introduction of foreign pathogens which could threaten the safety of American agriculture has accelerated in recent years because of increasing international seed and plant trade. The… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project continues the development of an innovative diagnostic technology based on surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) through its combination with gold nanoparticle labels, high-speed fluid handling, and sandwich-based immunoassays. This… more
Abstract:Multifunctional materials would alleviate longstanding problems in composite structures associated with multiple types of damage mechanisms such as mechanical/thermal fatigue, microcracking, and impact. CU Aerospace (CUA) proposes an innovative hybrid self-healing composite consisting of a two-part… more
Abstract:Better performing ablative thermal protection systems than currently available are needed to satisfy requirements of the most severe crew exploration vehicles, such as the Mars Sample Return with 12-15 km/s Earth entry. The primary objective of CU Aerospace's Phase I work will be to fabricate and… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop a highly simplified and improved method of detecting RNA for use in clinical tests and for scientific research by enabling the RT-PCR amplification of nucleic acids directly in whole blood, serum,
plasma, and cell lysates. We propose a dual… more
Abstract:The MycoBond™ platform is an innovative material technology that converts industrial and agricultural byproducts into a high-performance, cost-competitive biocomposite. Positioned as a direct replacement for hydrocarbon-derived synthetics, such as expanded polystyrene, MycoBond™… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop an effectively-thick coating (ETC) technology for machine tool applications. This technology will provide an effective thickness that is 5-20 times thicker than that of traditional coating while abating delamination… more
Abstract:This SBIR Phase II project will develop and commercialize a new energy efficient long-lifed cutting attachment for chipping cellulosic biomass into bio-fuel feedstock while achieving reduced specific energy, significantly longer knife-change intervals, and controllably-fine chips needed by various… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Soft x-ray microscopy shows enormous promise as a technique for imaging cellular structures at resolutions well beyond what can be achieved in optical microscopes, and with much simpler sample preparation than is required for electron microscopy. In addition,… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Energetiq has developed an ultra-high-brightness light source for semiconductor metrology applications. This same basic technology could have broad application in biological imaging, where today's instruments are limite

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
