Abstract:Toxic compounds are a major health hazard in our environment, in our food, and in our pharmaceuticals. Identifying toxic compounds is currently time-consuming, expensive and complicated by animal rights issues. We propose to generate a set of 96 transgenic nematodes that will contain… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Atherosclerosis is a vascular inflammatory disease characterized by dramatic changes in endothelial cell (EC) and smooth muscle cell (SMC) phenotypes. The progression of atherosclerosis is dependent on interactions bet
ween vascular cells (EC/SMC), regional… more
Abstract:Certain magnetic nanoparticles produce substantial heat under high strength alternating magnetic fields. These particles will be introduced into the body such that they accumulate in cancerous tissues. Ovarian cancer is characterized by an abundance of immunosuppressive phagocytes. Nanoparticles… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Protein-protein interactions represent the largest untapped opportunity for therapeutic development. The number of protein-protein interactions in human cells has been estimated to exceed 100,000, well above the ~30,000
human genes. This multitude of… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall objective of this SBIR Phase 1 grant is to finalize the formulation design for a carboplatin-loaded Low Temperature Sensitive Liposome (LTSL-carboplatin) and demonstrate the effectiveness of the optimized pr
oduct combined with HyperThermia (HT), to… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of Phase I of this SBIR application is to establish the feasibility of using a newly invented gene silencing technology called U1 Adaptors that uses Adaptor oligonucleotides to silence the human BCL2 gene, a ke
y player in tumor progression. The long… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Since drug candidates that often effectively shrink tumor bulk in murine xenograft models are unable to eliminate the disease in the humans, it has become absolutely critical to develop novel and more predictive pre-c
linical models. The goal of this proposal… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Breast cancer-related death results from complications due to metastatic growth. Therapies for metastatic patients focus on extending survival and controlling symptoms, and the choice of therapies is frequently based on
particular target-proteins found in the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Melanoma is one of the most rapidly growing cancers worldwide with an estimated 8,420 deaths and 62,480 new cases in the United States in 2008 alone. While melanoma can be surgically removed when detected early, there i
s no cure for advanced or metastatic… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Sexual violence perpetrated against women is a serious public health problem. Among female adolescents rates as high as 53% for some types of sexual violence have been reported. Moreover, young women are assaulted or raped most often by someone they know and… more
Abstract:The dynamics of nano-size interactions of metal hydroxide nanoplatelets is a new field of material science. Initial research conducted by Aqua Resources and the Department of Defense, offers the promise of an innovative means of effectively defending against Chemical/Biological (CB) warfare agents… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Drugs used for cancer chemotherapy tend to be highly cytotoxic and genotoxic, with well-documented carcinogenic, mutagenic, and teratogenic effects. Long-term, occupational exposure to these highly toxic drugs presents
serious health risks to the healthcare… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Introduction of small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) into cells results in potent and specific gene silencing by RNA interference (RNAi). Unfortunately, while siRNA-based drugs represent a potentially significant therapeutic
paradigm, the ability to apply this… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ROR1 cell surface biomarker is expressed on B-cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (B-CLL) cells but not on healthy B-cells or other white blood cells (WBCs) in B-CLL patients. We propose to develop an inexpensive, eas
y-to-use, rapid, ultrasensitive assay… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common solid malignancies worldwide and the incidence in the United States is increasing. It has been estimated that the number of cases of HCC will continue to increase
by 81% (from a baseline of about 13,000 a… 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.
