The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project seeks to reduce complications due to trauma. Current traumatic injury treatments are systemic and untargeted with unwanted side effects and low efficacy. The proposed project will develop a sustained-release, biodegradable, nanoparticle drug delivery system for treatment of soft tissue trauma ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project improves outcomes for preterm infants in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). On average 518,000 preterm infants are born in the US each year and 49% experience difficulty feeding after discharge. Preterm infants who cannot successfully feed are at increased risk of hospital readmission. In ...

The broader impact /commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project improves treatment of viral conditions, starting with influenza. Each year seasonal influenza infects 9–35 million individuals, causes 56,000 deaths in the U.S., and costs $87.1 billion.The proposed technology has the potential to produce more rapid protection, expand pathogen/variant cover ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to develop a synthetic lung surfactant product for the potential treatment of serious respiratory illnesses in neonatal patients.Bronchopulmonary dysplasia affects 10,000-15,000 pre-term infants per year and has a high mortality rate. Exposure of immature lung tissue to air results in infla ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to improve shellfish production at scale and in an environmentally sustainable fashion, using oyster farming as a launching pad.Today, most oysters are farmed nearshore under ecological stress.This project advances the culturing of microalgae using internal waste streams and those from other food industries. Th ...

Satellite Imagery in Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT), in conjunction with imagery intelligence (IMINT), geospatial information, and other means of gaining intelligence, has greatly improved the potential of the warfighter and decision makers enabling them to gain a more comprehensive perspective, an in-depth understanding, and a cross-functional awareness of the operational environment. The Artif ...

The broader impact of this Small Technology Transfer Research (STTR) Phase 1 project is to advance the development of germicidal optical fibers (GOF). GOFs side emit ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation along their entire length like a glowstick. Their use in tight channels of homes, businesses, and hospitals can eliminate pathogenic bacteria and viruses that cause operational issues, infections and eve ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project is to improve drug delivery by developing a system to synthesize much needed drug therapies directly in patients. This advancement, if successful, would reduce the need for complex and expensive manufacturing, eliminate the reliance on refrigerated drug shipment and storage, and remove need for repeated injections ...

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 ...

Multi-Dimensional Event Sourcing & Correlation - Publicly Available Information (PAI) (MDESC-P) will support collection jointly across disparate PAI sources with coordinated cueing of more constrained intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance (ISTAR) sources. The primary objective for MDESC-P is to deliver a scalable and automated PAI collection management solution using a ...
