The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to accelerate product development and domestic manufacturing by introducing a new method of fabricating products in a geographically distributed manner. The United States enjoys global prominence as a hub for cutting-edge research and creative design. However, investment has migrated overseas where ...

The broader/commercial impact of this SBIR phase II project will develop magnetic and fluorescent reagents for the separation and analysis of cells from tissue samples stored in biobanks, central repositories for biological samples, including tissues, cells, blood, sera, and urine, and their associated patient data, used in research to identify new methods to diagnose and treat disease; this indus ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will result from revolutionizing the way businesses approach sales, by directly and positively impacting sales communication. This, in turn, will lead to increased sales efficiency and increased customer satisfaction, while facilitating the acquisition of new customers and the retention of exi ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the realization of a next-generation soft tissue filler. Fillers are used to replenish volumes left by surgical procedures, medical disorders, trauma, or aging. In this $6B global market, there is great need for a filler having superior longevity to the leading hyaluronic acid products, wh ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to reduce the cost and increase the quality and throughput of mass spectrometry research through the development of advanced analytical software. Biomedical, biotech, agricultural, and chemical companies spend an estimated $15B per year on mass spectrometry because of the commercial value ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to reduce two stroke emissions while improving overall engine efficiencies. Engine emissions directly impact the environment, wildlife, and public health. Small engines used in powersports and small lightweight ground transportation are becoming a significant source of emissions. The technology dev ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be the availability of low-cost energy without environmental damage. This technology could prove to be viable for energy production at costs well below those of even solar and wind energy, which are globally now the lowest ways to produce electricity. This will drive down CO2 emissions and other pollutants du ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to further develop the technical functionality of its cohort recruitment tool that will advance efforts to launch a production quality substance abuse disorder (SUD) research platform designed for use by addiction researchers at universities, academic medical centers, and commercial sector ...
