The DSB will provide the capability to prove a first responder personnel’s identity and qualifications onsite securely and efficiently in a disaster response operating environment.During Phase I we will demonstrate th ...

Agricultural practices are a major driver of climate change, contributing globally 19–29% of anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. However, the costs to small and mid-size farms to engage in and produce climate-smart farming practices and consumer-branded products are out of reach, in terms of time and money. The adoption of circular smart agriculture provides a pathway to combat the uns ...

Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is one of the most common liver diseases in children and adults associated with diet-associated hepatic lipid accumulation (steatosis), and is a common hepatic manifestation of obesity and metabolic syndromes including diabetes. Modulation Therapeutics is developing a stearoyl- coenzyme A desaturase-1 (SCD1) inhibitor for the treatment of NAFLD a ...

Abstract: Developing a Digital Training and Assessment Platform to Disseminate a Successful NIH- Supported College Preparation Model for Diversifying the U.S. Biomedical Workforce This Phase 1 SBIR project will design and test a digital training and assessment platform—HSTA Hatch—to help geographic regions outside West Virginia (WV) establish workforce development programs for grade 9-12 youth ...

Project Summary Metabolic diseases, such as Metabolic Syndrome (MetSyn) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) affect ~37% and ~10% of Americans, respectively, with a substantial impact on the health, quality of life and financial security of these individuals. Without the means to identify high risk individuals conveniently and cheaply, many will find care too little and too late: more than 80% of individual ...
