Check-in Check-out (CICO) is a widely used behavioral intervention for elementary and middle schools centered on goals, feedback, and communication with parents about daily behavioral performance. This project will develop a prototype platform to streamline and automate the delivery of CICO. The prototype will include an app, a user-friendly interface, and a dashboard to track progress and capture ...

Through a series of IES-funded projects, the researchers developed the Assessment-to-Instruction (A2i) tool, including a Phase 1 SBIR project in 2014. A2i is an online platform to provide students with individualized literacy instruction and assessments. This project will develop a digital library for teachers that generates personalized resources for each student. The prototype will include migra ...

With Phase I and Phase II funding from prior IES-funded SBIR project, the developer created a wireless device that transmits scientific data from hands-on experiments carried out by middle school students to a dashboard that presents results from student work in real-time. This project will develop an artificial intelligence (AI) assessment system that will provide immediate personalized feedback ...

In a prior SBIR project (EDIES17C0030), the small business developed Moby.Read, a tablet-based speech recognition app that grade school students use to self-administer oral-reading fluency assessments. In this project, the team will develop a new prototype component to extract more diagnostic detail on reading difficulties as students read passages. The Phase I prototype will include a natural lan ...

In a previous National Science Foundation SBIR project, the developer created an online platform that uses songs to support mathematical learning. In the current project, the team will develop a prototype of a component of a platform to guide students in creating and producing their own music videos about algebra. The prototype will include a video production application, features to enhance learn ...

Verdant will be an immersive virtual reality (VR) experience for high school biology students focusing on Mendel's investigation into the heredity of pea plants and the basis of genetics. In Verdant, students revisit Mendel's scientific process by designing and running open-ended crossbreeding experiments at the macroscopic and microscopic levels and recording results, as Mendel did, but in hours ...

Space Micro will develop an innovative payload that can be hosted onboard a nanosatellite/ CubeSat bus, for the advancement of USSOCOM capabilities in rapid intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR). This R&D will improve and enhance capabilities in intelligence collection, surveillance, and reconnaissance from new spaceborne platforms.

Toyon Research Corp. proposes a feasibility study including all promising techniques for enabling SOCOM’s desired Multi-FMV Fusion 3D Capability, which is intended to reduce operator cognitive burden and enhance multi-source surveillance data exploitation. Key topics to consider include multi-platform FMV registration and fusion, 3D model reconstruction, fused video rendering, and artificial int ...

Botts Innovative Research, Inc (Botts, Inc.) proposes to conduct a feasibility study to assess the art of the possible as it relates to the use of the open source, open standards based OpenSensorHub (OSH) (www.OpenSensorHub.org) for the integration between the sensors and robots of Hyper Enabled Operators (HEO), their units, and their mission command, to provide battlespace awareness at the tactic ...

Special OperationsForces (SOF)are an integral aspect of the US military. SOF operators are among the most elite and highly qualified individuals in the U.S.military. As such, extraordinary physical and mental demands are placed upon them to excel in extreme environments for extended periods of time. This unrelenting cycle of combat deployments and intense pre-deployment training shortens the funct ...
