Abstract:Wake vortices are a critical constraint to aircraft separation and therefore airportal throughput, which is already at or near capacity at many major airports in the NAS. Improvements to current methods of spacing aircraft could significantly increase airportal capacity, but there is currently… more
Abstract:FAA predicts that air traffic will double or even triple by 2025 and unless solutions that enable improvements in the use of airspace can be developed and implemented, significant airspace congestion will occur. Advancements in aircraft capabilities via new technologies can enable aircraft to… more
Abstract:The primary benefits of SimBLOX to the public are that it helps private and government organizations become better stewards of taxpayers' dollars and it protects our natural resources. The proposed research and resulting proof-of-concept model for this Phase I effort has enormous potential to assist… more
Abstract:Most project management (PM) tools on the market today use some type of PERT and/or CPM methodology as its primary underlying methodology. PERT (Program Evaluation and Review Technique) was invented by the U.S. Navy in the 1950''''''''''''''''s to manage the Polaris submarine missile program. CPM… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Tracing techniques have long been used to analyze specific neural pathways but do not reveal their function. Lesion techniques have also long been employed to analyze the function of neural pathways but are not very sel
ective. Current lesion methods use… more
Abstract:Rather than continuing to approach cyber security problems in a reactive fashion, ASD proposes to move to a proactive posture; anticipating and eliminating vulnerabilities while also being prepared to effectively and rapidly defend against attacks. Our approach collects data about the attacker as… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In addition to the role oral infections play in promoting tooth loss, periodontitis has also been associated with increasing the risk of other medical conditions such as coronary artery disease, stroke and myocardial i
nfarction. Approximately 50% of the US… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Over 6.3 million fractures occur each year in the United States alone (Praemer et al. 1999) and approximately 15% of fractures exhibit delayed or impaired healing. The clinical applications currently used to treat dela
yed fracture require open surgery to insert… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Of the nearly 5 million patients who visit a physician for tendon pain each year in the US, approximately 200,000 go on to have a surgical repair. And while surgical repair has a high-rate of symptom relief, recovering
patients are routinely immobilized for… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Infection surrounding metal implants is a common and sometimes devastating cause of implant failure in a number of fields including oral, craniomaxillofacial (CMF), orthopedic, and cardiovascular surgery. These infectio
ns, which arise from the establishment of… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Mediastinitis is a common and sometimes devastating complication following open heart surgery. Despite the use of prophylactic systemic antibiotics and improved surgical techniques, bacterial infection remains a serious
complication following almost all surgical… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Chronic wounds are a significant public-health problem, imposing a high cost on society and presenting patients with significant quality of life limitations. A large proportion of patients with chronic wounds, such as d
iabetic foot ulcers, and venous leg ulcers,… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunts are used to treat pediatric and neonatal hydrocephalus in severe cases, representing approximately 1/3rd of affected infants. Due to the high susceptibility for infection and mechanical
breakdown, the failure rate of VP shunts is… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Summary Targeted drug delivery has been a long-term goal for biomedical science. Of specific interest, are those drugs which exert powerful therapeutic effects but cannot be prominently used due to harmful side- effects
during systemic delivery? Bone has become… more
Abstract:This project will extend the microchannel resonator to the level of a few attograms, which will allow measurement of individual particles as small as 10 nanometers with unprecedented resolution. The Phase I effort will prove the feasibility of this approach by miniaturizing the MEMS sensors, thereby… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an inexpensive high-throughput means of selecting and identifying antibodies to both unmodified and modified protein, peptide, and non-peptide antigens. The specific goals of this proposal are to
complete a proof-of-concept using aqueous… more
Abstract:We are proposing to develop a prototype system for identifying subjects on the move utilizing multiple biometrics with a very high
probability of identification. The system would contain cutting edges sensors and technology. This system would also serve as a system for testing subject user… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a cell and blood compatible, non-clotting drug-eluting prosthetic artery that can release, in a controlled manner, drugs or other small compounds that can inhibit scarring and clotting. Potential drug candidates will be… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In the United States, it is estimated that 8 million people suffer from peripheral artery disease (PAD). PAD is characterized by a gradual reduction in blood flow to the muscular arteries of the lower extremities caused
by atherosclerosis. For those with severe… 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.
