PROJECT SUMMARYOpportunity: Nitrate contamination has emerged as the most pervasive groundwater pollutant inNorth America predominantly originating from agricultural activities and shifting nitrogen inputsto land surfaces. In the United States over 7 million people rely on community water systems(CWS) with nitrate concentrations exceeding the maximum contaminant level (MCL). A rigorouspeer-reviewe ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will be to produce high-quality (accurate/high-resolution) soil maps for agronomists and farmers at scale. Accurate soil information is a fundamental driver of better, more-efficient crop/soil management. This new branch of technology will deliver developed map products across various cropping systems ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to provide farmers with a low-cost plant sensor for direct, instantaneous measurement of nitrate-nitrogen (N) levels in crop sap. Widespread adoption of the sensor could support cost-effective and improved N fertilizer management, which may increase farmers’ productivity and profitabilit ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is a novel therapeutic for surgical pain that can eliminate the need for opioids after surgery. This project will yield a novel, long-acting local anesthetic drug product that can provide substantial value to customers as an affordable, safe, and effective, non-opioid, acute pain management s ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to fully realize the potential for weathering of mine waste to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. By helping mining companies in this effort, this project will positively impact human health and welfare while potentially producing a competitive advantage to the domestic minin ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is a novel electromagnetic navigation system offering a transformative solution for a wide range of medical procedures that demand accuracy, efficiency, and safety. The result of this capability and its subsequent commercialization will positively affect the outcomes of medical procedures for ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project seeks to develop a novel noninvasive device for detecting and diagnosing gastroesophageal reflux. Reflux occurs when a bolus of gastric contents flows from the stomach into the esophagus. Symptoms of reflux can include chronic cough, choking, difficulty breathing or swallowing, upper airway infections, and chest pain. These symptoms c ...
