The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the design of products that will decompose in nature, are paper-stream recyclable, and Ocean Compostable Fish Friendly (OCFF), with a cost similar to plastic packaging.Since 2018, the US typically recycles between 5-8.7% of its plastic. According to Ocean Conservancy, “Every year, 11 mil ...

PROJECT SUMMARY The research project outlined in this Fast track SBIR submission will develop the RAE cHealth platform into a tool to address digital inequities and support peer-based collaborative recovery for individuals with substance use disorder. In this proposal, the investigators intend to develop and deploy the RAE cHealth system- consisting of a wearable sensor and a smartphone app. RAE c ...

When GTP discontinued the manufacture of WRe wire, it ended US-based production of a material critical in the operations of MWT/TWT equipment for defense applications.  The objective of this project is to produce a WRe wire that matches as closely as possible the wire produced by GTP while also potentially developing a process that meets or exceeds the yields achieved by GTP.  The wire produced ...

bluShift wants to use our core technologies to develop a launch vehicle system that can be used as a responsive method of quickly launching, assisting, or re-deploying small satellites that are critical for national security or other basic functions that keep America running safely and securely. These small, robust, storable, and nimble launch vehicles will form the bluShift RTSLS fleet (Responsiv ...

The marine microalgae Chrypthecodinium conhii (C. cohnii) contains high levels of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and DHA synthase enzymes (DSe). Finfish have shown de novo synthesis of DHA when fed a C. cohnii product, KoniSap™, developed by FPN LLC. KoniSap™ is unique to the aqua-feed market as it is produced under low temperature and inert gas to prevent lipid oxidation and avoid enzyme denatura ...

Demand for seaweed products has dramatically increased in the U.S.; however, domestic production from both wild harvests and aquaculture operations only supplies 1% of this demand. To meet demand, expansion of seaweed aquaculture is crucial to protect wild populations from extinction by overharvesting, which impacts entire marine ecosystems. Currently, U.S. kelp aquaculture methods rely on wild ha ...

Granite Mountain Industries, LLC (DBA Rapid Assault Tools (RA Tools)), will design a self-contained batter powered hydraulic forced entry kit capable of breaching SCIF doors in harsh environments, as well as develop a realistic, reusable training aid to teach USAF personnel how to successfully breach SCIF doors. Out team has a strong track record of building innovative battery powered tools and hy ...
