or sequencing (ChIP- seq) is a widely used… more
Abstract:Many of the antibodies produced for cancer research are poorly characterized, exhibit suboptimal affinity or selectivity, and are time-consuming and expensive to produce. Alternative affinity capture reagents are therefore needed as reproducible, highly characterized, rapid, and cost-effective… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): With funding from NIMH, TeleSage has developed a state-of-the-art mental health outcomes tracking survey instrument for use with both public- and private-sector adults. This survey is currently in statewide use in Tenne
ssee and Iowa. Unfortunately, no… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Computer Adaptive Testing (CAT) provides a new mechanism for assessing patient-reported outcomes. Using CAT can: (a) increase measurement precision, leading to a decrease in the number of participants necessary to achieve statistically significant… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a debilitating disease which affects nearly 1% of the US population. It initially attacks the small joints of the hand and foot. Recent RA research shows that early aggressive therapy is mos
t effective, making early diagnosis… more
Abstract:The proposed project is to manufacture a C-SiC honeycomb structure to use as a high temperature material in advanced aircraft, spacecraft and industrial applications. The proposers will fabricate a carbon fiber honeycomb structure. The structure will be charred and then converted to C-SiC by means… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): In this Phase I application we will examine the feasibility of producing high yield porous nanocrystalline silicon (pnc-Si) membranes for protein purification products. Membranes made of this material are a breakthrough
technology, 1000x thinner than… more
Abstract:Performance of conventional primary and secondary batteries improve at a meager rate every year. Sensors and sensor networks which are advancing through relentless miniaturization effects need uninterrupted power sources in many scenarios. We propose to use a piezoelectric based energy scavenging… more
Abstract:ELORET Corporation, in collaboration with the Space Systems Design Laboratory of Georgia Institute of Technology, proposes developing and demonstrating a capability/technology to de-orbit small payloads (approximately 1 kg) from Low-Earth Orbit and returning them to Earth safely. To achieve this… more
Abstract:The proposed phase I research effort will develop a highly efficient MEMS energy harvesters that utilize a novel nanocomposite technology recently developed by Sodano Engineering LLC. Unlike existing piezoelectric nanocomposites, the material proposed here has an electromechanical coupling… more
Abstract:The proposed Phase I research effort will develop a novel technique to place vertically aligned ZnO nanowires in the interlaminar region of fiber reinforced composites. It is widely accepted that the interlaminar region of a composite presents one of the most challenging failure mechanisms to… more
Abstract:Oncology remains a major market of unmet need. BNOAT Oncology¿s long-term objective is New Drug Approval of its lead candidate nitrosylcobalamin, a tumor-specific, apoptosis-inducing, anti-cancer drug. Research Design and Methods: Nitrosylcobalamin purification will include… more
Abstract:Rapid tuning of narrowband sources is inherently limited by the number of roundtrips required in the high-Q cavity, which is required for generation of a narrow lasing linewidth. We propose to break the cavity tuning/linewidth barrier presented by conventional reconfiguration of the physical cavity… more
Abstract:Advanced airframes are expected to serve in multirole missions; mission-specific nodes must be incorporated in a scalable manner without performance penalty to existing services. Such systems are expected to operate with a mix of digital and analog signaling, with certain nodes likely requiring… 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.
