The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project focuses on the unique combination of cancer-specific antibodies and adoptive Natural Killer (NK) immune cells needed to offer personalizable cancer therapies.This innovation represents a platform technology that can spawn multiple innovative cancer treatments, which could positively impact lif ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is the extension of state-of-the-art terrestrial 5G technologies to non-terrestrial satellite networks. Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) are the ideal hosts for many commercial applications involving monitoring, reconnaissance, and remote sensing such as agricultural planting, remote factory op ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened awareness of airborne pathogens and their role in transmitting infection throughout the population. The threat of airborne pathogens extends beyond SARS-CoV-2. Diseases caused by airborne viruses (Influenza), bacteria (Legionnaires’ disease and Tuberculosis), and fungi (aspergillosis) are also prevalent, with Influenza estimated to cause 200,000–500,000 wor ...

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened awareness of the role airborne pathogens play in transmitting infection and will leave a legacy of focused attention on indoor air quality for the foreseeable future. Indoor enclosed spaces are high-risk environments for increased transmission of aerosolized pathogens like COVID-19, SARS, influenza, and other yet-to-emerge diseases. Many situations, including o ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project addresses the need for advanced manufacturing technology that can produce future therapeutics and vaccines. Future clinical treatments will rely on continuous manufacturing to meet demand, both with respect to volume and drug product personalization. This project will incorporate continuous m ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is improve pediatric mental health outcomes.An estimated twenty percent of children suffer with a diagnosable mental health condition and half of those will show signs and symptoms before the age of 14. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among children aged 10+; affected children that do not receive inte ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to develop a novel battery design which rapidly deactivates in contact with aqueous environments. Every year, tens of thousands of children suffer as a result of ingesting coin cell batteries. These children may needlessly suffer debilitating and sometimes fatal consequences. Exposure to unforeseen ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to prevent and treat prediabetes and type 2 diabetes. More than 1 in 3 American adults have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes with associated healthcare costs exceeding $327 billion. Current therapies often present adverse effects or are ineffective in some patients. The top five human diabete ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to derisk a new membrane manufacturing technology for biogas upgrading.Renewable natural gas (RNG) is attractive as a carbon neutral energy source as it is derived from organic wastes such as food waste, agricultural waste, and municipal biosolids. RNG is part of biogas and requires cost- ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project is to minimize the number of hospital-associated infections which contribute to almost 100,000 deaths each year in the US at an annual cost exceeding $30 B. Reducing the surface-borne transmission of pathogens can limit the spread of pathogenic diseases, thus minimizing transmission from contaminated ...
