Moby.Read is aa tablet-based speech recognition app that grade school students use to administer oral-reading fluency assessments in real-time. The app is intended to replace face-to-face oral reading assessments done by teachers, and to save time and increase the accuracy of the assessment. Through the teacher dashboard, Moby.Read will aggregate assessment results at the class and individual stud ...

The project team will develop a platform that will facilitate design challenges in K-12 classrooms across STEM academic topics and career paths within the field of engineering. The platform will enable classes to post their projects to the site and for other classes around the country to participate in the project. Each challenge (and the associated education resources curated for that challenge) ...

Concierge is a platform for school administrators to discover and select education technology products to support school improvement. The intended users are principals, technology coaches, and curriculum directors who are responsible for selecting and implementing education technology in K–12 classrooms or schools. Concierge will include components to guide administrators through the product dis ...

Discharging nutrients such as phosphorus and ammonia to surface waters can have far reaching health and environmental impacts, including the formation of toxic algae blooms, eutrophication, and loss of water_x000D_ quality. The wastewater industry has a significant need for high-efficiency nutrient removal technologies. However, current nutrient removal treatment technologies can be costly and in ...

Synvitrobio is building on its Phase I effort to develop next-generation cell-free platforms for prototyping complex biological circuits and pathways. We propose the creation of a Cell-Free Foundry to rapidly, reproducibly, and at scale take as an input ...

As low-cost space access drives the design of new 3,000 lb-to-orbit launch systems, inexpensive, high-energy stages with velocity increments of over 20,000 feet/sec are required. Whittinghill Aerospace (WASP) proposes continued development of a highly energetic propulsion system for DARPAs XS-1 and WASPs own launch vehicle that makes use of a novel fuel and a high mass fraction structure. With mul ...

Ziva Corporation proposes to develop and demonstrate a novel and powerful approach called Enhanced Long Range Communication for Adverse Environments (ELECTRA) which significantly improves the link budget between disaggregated arrays using distributed coh...

Modern battlefield medicine has improved the rate of salvage of life and limb at the expense of a greater burden of hospitalizations for acute traumatic injuries and surgical care. The inflammation that accompanies the normal recovery from such tissue trauma is often clinically indistinguishable from early sepsis. This uncertainty can lead to delayed treatment with antibiotics and to substantially ...

TBDThis is a Technical Proposal to develop a tool for Validating Predictive Social Science Models by Mobile Network Sampling (PredNet). PredNet will allow researchers to reliably and comprehensively collect reproducible social science data with minimal cost in time, effort, and other resources as compared to conventional representative data sampling methods and to do so free from non-response and ...

Technical Abstract (Limit your abstract to 200 words with no classified or proprietary information) Injury and death of marine mammals can be caused by ship strikes and exposure to high level acoustic sources.It is incumbent upon all U.S. mariners to take whatever precautions necessary to avoid such incidents.The current procedure for mitigating these events is human observers watching with binocu ...
