The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project lies in enhancing health outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients. Each year, over 1.7 million Americans are diagnosed with cancer, and treatment turns out to be ineffective for approximately 75% of those receiving systemic therapy. This failure is because every tumor is distinct in ma ...

The broader impact / commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to minimize food waste, reduce electronic sensor waste, and develop a printed, biodegradable, electronic sensor. According to the United Nations, food waste is valued at $2.4 trillion/year worldwide with the majority of the expense attributed to transport. Electronic waste is approximatel ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project pertains to the critical need for pharmacologic treatments in large populations that suffer from coronary artery disease and that are subjected to procedures such as angioplasty or bypass surgery. While effective in correcting the reduced flow of blood to the heart tissue, these interventions ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project comes from extracting meaningful, useful, specific information from “dark data.” Dark data are the countless documents companies produce and receive, which contain unused information – usually because they are in formats that computers do not understand. Many of these documents do not e ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to help reduce sunburn (a primary risk factor for melanoma), skin cancer, and photoaging rates by helping people to apply and reapply adequate amounts of sunscreen.Sunburns, 93% of skin cancer, and up to 90% of the age-related changes to skin are caused by overexposure to ultraviolet radia ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the acceleration of a new technology for the destruction of toxic per- and polyfluoroalkyl (PFAS), otherwise known as “forever chemicals”. PFAS chemicals are widely used in firefighting foams and consumer goods. However, they are incredibly recalcitrant environmental pollutants, highly ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project will enable research and development on simulated moon surface materials that resemble the icy regolith on the Moon and other worlds by a large number of organizations that currently do not have access to such materials.Making realistic icy regolith simulants is beyond the reach of most organ ...

PFAS coatings have been widely used for producing consumable food-related packaging paper and tableware because of their good water and oil resistance. However, the potential risks associated with PFAS leaking during packaging usage and recycling threaten food safety and human health. The Creekside Environmental Products-Mississippi State University (MSU) Team proposes the development of PFAS-free ...

The problem being addressed: This proposal addresses the challenge of rapidly, economically, and precisely characterizing seafloor sediments for siting of offshore wind energy turbines and transmission cables.How this problem is being addressed: The rapid growth of the offshore wind industry worldwide is stretching the already limited supply of in-situ resources for seafloor mapping. The gap betwe ...
