Shelter enclosures for military working dogs in the event of a CB attack is a technology gap identified by the Joint Requirements Office. Important parameters to consider in the design of protective enclosures include low weight and size to minimize transport requirements; rapid setup; and accommodation of canine physiological and psychological comfort needs while providing protection against CB ...

Learnimation will design, build and validate a universally-designed early math and science intervention gesture training program for pre-school through early middle school students with learning disabilities (lds), their teachers and caregivers. Existing neuroscience and disability research demonstrates the effectiveness of gesture as an intervention strategy for students with lds. This project ...

We propose to develop a web based educational software platform (Literacy Engagement and Achievement Passport or LEAP) that can be used by students to support higher levels of literacy engagement and achievement among adolescents,in traditional middle school and high school classes as well as other educational settings.

This SBIR project is designed to develop a system for delivering audio-tactile computer applications that are accessible to high school and college students who are print-disabled. The applications will include: a scientific calculator, a periodic table of elements, subway maps and a game. In each application, the user will touch the tip of a special pen to raised-line and textured (tactile) im ...

Classroom teachers need formative assessment tools that give them easy and accurate information on student perfomance. Large scale assessments provide accountability data useful in evaluating progress across states and within school districts, but are not designed to directly impact classroom practice. Research shows us that student performance on standardized test can be impacted by test anxiet ...

DNA microarray technology, in combination with statistical and predictive modeling tools, could be used to evaluate thousands of genes against distinct gene expression patterns induced by chemical/biological agents to provide early identification and speed therapeutic intervention. The overall objective of this proposal is to demonstrate the feasibility of building a data management system for DN ...

In the wake of the September 11th attacks and subsequent Anthrax scares, researchers worldwide are working to expand our ability to rapidly assess what poses a terrorism threat to the public. The rapid detection of specific pathogens is required for biod

The project builds and evaluates a universally designed, handheld/wireless educational software intervention that trains students with learning disabilities (LD) and their teachers to use a metacognitive strategy for translating mathematical word problems into visual-spatial schematic models. The intervention is based on the prototype created in Phase I. Phase I research suggested that a univers ...

Nia Solutions Corporation is a NY - based small business recognized on Long Island as a regional leader in school consulting services. Responding to SBIR Priority 1 Services, Nia proposes to test the feasibility of expanding an evidence-driven consulting service called the “Grant Development Process” GDP. This service consistently enables schools and districts to overcome financial shortfalls ...

Sigma-K Corporation proposes to develop a Hermetic Textile Closure Hardware System to be used for Chemical Biological (CB) protective clothing and Collective Protection (COLPRO) portable shelter systems. Our Hermetic Textile Closure Hardware System design will allow the user to easily don and doff one's protective apparel. The system will remain intact during combat behavior. The closure interface ...
