Award Data

The Digital Greenhouse concept is to work with users from operational organizations in off-site commercial locations, positioned near Air Force logistics centers, to quickly develop “user storiesâ€Â for use in rapid development of working prototypes. These prototypes will be tested and validated by these users for use in application modernization projects capable of providing advanced ...

The CONOPS for the Expeditionary Medical Support System (EMEDS) is based on practical effectiveness, speed, and efficiency. Key among the tools required by the Air Mobility Command and the Air Combat Command, which are two of the major commands that are part of the United Air Force is a multi-channel intravenous infusion pump capable of delivering fluids that meets the safe-to-fly criteria for all ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to develop a novel web application for faster and more accurate estimation of important physical and chemical properties of materials used by engineers and scientists from various academic and industrial disciplines. Oil and gas, mining, nuclear waste management, and environmental consulting compan ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enable economic development aid organizations to plan, implement, measure, and achieve better gender equality and social inclusion outcomes. Gender equality is recognized as an important factor in catalyzing development and lifting communities out of poverty. Empowered women contribute t ...

This SBIR Phase I project will develop an innovative imaging device that applies tactile sensing to the surface detection of vertebrae to help clinicians place needles for the nearly 13 million diagnostic and therapeutic spinal punctures performed in the United States each year. The standard of care involves manual palpation of the back to estimate a vertebral gap for needle insertion. This techni ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be to develop a microfluidic device for cell therapy manufacturing. Advantages in terms of cost and quality of the cell products produced by the proposed technology should benefit clinical researchers and cell therapeutics. Further, by providing an efficient, standardized, and scalable ap ...

This SBIR Phase I project seeks to commercialize new sensor technologies that enable the rapid measurement of the handedness of molecular mixtures. Like screws and keys, many molecules possess a certain handedness that can be important when interacting with living systems. This issue is vital to pharmaceutical research, where one handed form of a drug may result in benefits while the opposite form ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this project is the development of drone-based technology to manage fires more safely, efficiently, and effectively. Wildfires cause hundreds of billions of dollars in annual damages in the United States. As the size and number of wildfires increases, prescribed fires have emerged as one of the most cost-effective tools to reduce catastrophic damage by re ...

This SBIR Phase I project seeks to address the lack of approved device therapies available for the almost 4 million patients in the U.S. who suffer from diastolic heart failure (DHF) - a disease for which the potential market is estimated to be approximately $5B worldwide. In DHF, the chambers of the heart become stiff and cannot relax completely, reducing the amount with which they fill with bloo ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project involves improving oil and gas sustainability. To achieve that goal, we are proposing purifying produced water at the wellsite using waste natural gas to reduce disposal costs, carbon footprint and human induced seismicity from disposal wells. This process is enabled by patented equipment that fundame ...
