The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to provide a new tool for physicians to potentially automate the preparation of insurance documentation and facilitate claim building which may help to lower provider costs and increase patient access to and quality of care. Physicians can spend up to 50% of their time performing non-clini ...

This broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will improve public safety by furthering terahertz radar imaging technology for concealed threat detection. With increasing cases of weapons violence and mass casualty events across the nation, and an increase in the difficulty of detecting non-metallic weapons such as 3D-printed firearms and ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) project is to address the need for recycling plastics that have surpassed their useful life. The ‘plastic’s revolution’ of the mid-twentieth century has greatly added value to society but has also created highly durable plastics that are used to make objects of limited life-expectancy. There are limited ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to improve personalized cancer care by developing a first in class cancer diagnostic instrument that can deliver clinically actionable, personalized, drug response data from individual cancer patients using the E-slice assay.The E-slice assay is a novel 3D culture-based assay which has been ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to introduce a cost-effective way to produce recombinant proteins and growth factors for the cultivated meat industry. Cultivating animal cells to create animal tissues, including muscle and fat, allows manufacturers to create real animal meat as an alternative to animal-farmed meat. Producing meat i ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project will be the creation of a virus capture technology that may improve the reliability of diagnostic tools needed to detect viral infection in humans, animals, and plants. The proposed device will be designed to be easy to use, portable, and cost-effective, and could accelerate virus detection, providing s ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to enable the recycling of common polystyrene foam waste into soil amendments: creating a valuable agricultural product out of a pernicious and ubiquitous waste. Annually, millions of pounds of polystyrene waste fill landfills, blot roadsides, or pollute waterways – making up 80% of all ocean plast ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase 1 project is a decrease in the devastating effects of deep implant-related infections.The technology could result in advances to the clinical health and welfare of the American public by improving clinical outcomes and decreasing morbidity and mortality. The technology addressed by this project may protect surgic ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is protection against pathogen-related infections. Currently, detection tests for pathological agents are laborious, time-consuming, expensive, and require advanced technical expertise to conduct. The proposed portable, onsite pathogen detector will allow for fast, specific, sensitive, and cost-effectiv ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to provide indoor farmers with data insights to reduce risks and improve efficient use of resources to grow nutrient dense food. The value proposition is a first-to-market, off-the-shelf smart water quality and atmospheric conditions monitoring platform to support controlled environment agr ...
