Abstract:ASSURE - Aeroelastic / Aeroservoelastic (AE/ASE) Uncertainty and Reliability Engineering capability - is a set of probabilistic computer programs for isolating uncertainties in simulation, manufacturing, test, measurement, and test to analysis correlation affecting the AE/ASE characteristics of… more
Abstract:Traveling sine waves can occur in an aerial refueling hose that result in excessive forces transferred to the receiving aircraft"s refueling probe. These waves can arise from failures in the hose reeling mechanism, high aircraft approach speeds, or other inputs that create excessive hose slack.… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): SX-576 is a small molecule CXCR1/2 antagonist that potently blocks the migration of neutrophils to sites of injury and/or inflammation. SX-576 is being developed as a potential therapeutic for the treatment of pulmonaryinflammatory diseases, such as… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a notorious pathogen whose increasing resistance to antibiotics and heightened lethality in combination with AIDS makes it a major health concern worldwide. The selection and spread of multiple drug resistant Mtb continued for… more
Abstract:Systima is proposing to develop an end-to-end integrated solution to provide a high velocity, Long Range Ram Accelerator Mobile Field Howitzer (LRRAM-FH) system that will dramatically increase velocity and range capabilities over conventional artillery. The ram accelerator launcher will accelerate… more
Abstract:ABSTRACT: Systima is proposing a Phase II SBIR program for a Scramjet Cold-Start Gas Generator (SCS-GG). Systima"s concepts combine the advanced injection methods and advanced ignition propellants into a reliable, low weight and volume cold-start solution. During Phase II, Systima will mature… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The first goal of Healthy People 2010 is to help individuals of all ages increase life expectancy and improve their quality of life. Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF), a life-shortening chronic disease affecting ~30,000 individuals in the U.S., suffer from… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Pain is the primary reason that people seek medical care. Unfortunately, under-treatment of pain is well- documented in cancer (Cohen et al, 2003; Deandrea et al., 2008) and other medical conditions (Boulanger et al., 2007; Hadjistavropoulos et al., 2006). While… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Disregulated angiogenesis-the growth of new blood-vessels from existing vasculature-plays a central role in more than 70 major health conditions including cancer, cardiovascular disease, and macular degeneration. More than one billion people worldwide are… more
Company:Vista Clara Inc.Agency/Program/Year/Phase:DOE / SBIR / 2011 / 1
Abstract:This proposal addresses the problem of long term mapping and monitoring of subsurface geochemical and microbial activity associated with the transport and remediation of subsurface contaminants, including radionuclides and metals. The ability to map and monitor bioremediation processes in the near… more

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.
