DESCRIPTION provided by applicant A Phase II SBIR program of preclinical development is proposed for the development of an active specific immunotherapeutic called Cellariumandquot for treatment of glial cell based cancers Successful completion of this project will confirm therapeutic effect and pre clinical safety of the vaccine in preparation for first in human studies Upon demonstration of ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research project will be in availability of high performance, affordable structures made from manufactured concrete block. These structures include roofs, such as domes, arches, cylinders, spheres, and more. The high efficiency of concrete block manufacturing will be used to create an entirely new range of products from conc ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the development of a set of software tools that can demonstrate the feasibility of a patent-pending technology for dramatically boosting the performance of a wide range of software systems, on very large and complex commercial-scale database management systems (DBMS). The accelerating growt ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to guide real estate development toward walkable development by forecasting its economic value. In this way, the project will enhance environmental sustainability in cities by creating conditions that promote walking and reduce auto use. Mounting evidence reveals walkability has many social ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project consists of three major pieces. First is the reduction of musculoskeletal injuries for manual laborers, which already affects 600,000 workers each year. This will improve the quality of life of laborers, since an injury at work affects both their work life and their personal life. Second is to ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses the costly and life-altering occurrence of falls among older adults. One in three adults over the age of 65 fall each year, and 31% of those falls are attributed to environmental hazards such as floor clutter, rugs, poor lighting, and low contrast. Costs associated with falls will re ...

This SBIR Phase I project centers around using scientifically based educational research and innovative data management and analysis techniques to support improvements in Pre-K through 12th grade education through more efficient and rigorous teacher evaluation processes. The American educational system needs substantial improvement if it is to inspire both the innovation and creativity needed now ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project will be the development of an effective approach to energy reduction in residential and commercial settings using film materials on building windows. Windows coated with passive solar film created in this project will help limit the amount of infrared and ultraviolet light entering a building. This l ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project is to develop alkaline anion exchange membranes (AAEM) to enable lower cost and durable fuel cells. Widespread adoption of fuel cell technologies has been difficult due to high costs, which are mostly due to use of precious metal catalysts and the expensive polymer electrolyte components. Using AAEM ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will develop a revolutionary new technology for upgrading and reducing the viscosity of bitumen, an oil sands feedstock. Bitumen is a major source of heavy crude oil for the US, but has 10,000-100,000 times higher viscosity than traditional crude, requiring producers to decrease its viscosity prior to transport to refineries, using hig ...
