The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to reimagine bio-manufacturing with a novel platform technology that could boost the yields of many products, including food additives, biomaterials precursors, biofuels, and pharmaceuticals. The technological advancement addresses a fundamental issue that limits conventional bio-fermentation, which is that pro ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the potential reduction of toxic nitrogen oxides (NOx) and harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from marine diesel engines. There are approximately 4 million diesel-powered craft in use globally, emitting approximately one billion tons of CO2 and 100 million tons of NOx annually. This project seeks to remove ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase II project involves continued development of technology to extend the therapeutic window of cell-based tissue regeneration therapies. This technology could significantly enhance the scientific understanding of cellular therapies and enable the healing of injuries more rapidly and less invasively than current techniques. A s ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is a tool to help mitigate the wildfire crisis in the western United States. Prescribed burns are one of the most effective ways to prevent the uncontrolled, large-scale wildfires that devastate entire ecosystems, communities, and economies, but the environmental assessment required for burns may delay ...

The broader impact of this SBIR Phase I project will provide the medical field with a broad response detector capable of pairing with cheaper disease diagnostic tools for improved healthcare.Currently, there is not a commercially available broadband detector that can capture visible light and near infrared light.The Phase I SBIR effort will lead to an advanced detector capable of spanning this lig ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to design a care-centered digital health platform for remote symptom monitoring of Parkinson’s Disease patients. Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological disorder affecting various movement and mobility, sleep quality, emotional and behavioral health, and other factors, with symptoms m ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is the introduction of a new wind farm control strategy that is expected to increase the power generated by a typical wind farm by 3-10%.Wind farm owners and operators face continuous pressure to reduce the price per megawatt-hour of the grid energy that they produce.Improving the energy yield ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to enable next-generation lithium battery technologies that are integral in transitioning toward increased renewable energy deployment. In particular, the project has the potential to overcome obstacles to widespread electric vehicle (EV) adoption including battery capacity limitations, hig ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to create a rapid, inexpensive, and ultra-high throughput test to screen patients for antibodies against the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19. The proposed test will facilitate population-wide screening for prior exposure, giving epidemiologists and policy-makers insight into the virus ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop heartier, environmentally friendly grass varieties. An estimated 30% of US water usage goes to watering lawns and grass, with much of that wasted due to evaporation, runoff and overwatering. Chemical herbicides, pesticides and fertilizers used for grass can be extremely toxic. The project’s genomica ...
