In 2020, 40.3 million people aged 12 or older had substance use disorder (SUD) in the past year. Of those, 2.6 million people (6.4%) received any in-person treatment, while 2.2 million (5.4%) received virtual services for substance use treatment. Therefore, an estimated 35 million people did not receive any treatment. To receive treatment, individuals need to receive a diagnosis from a provider, ...

Purpose The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program is an important mechanism by which the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and other Federal agencies help bring innovative solutions to public health challenges. A major objective of the Federal SBIR Program is to facilitate the commercialization of technologies developed by small business concerns (SBCs). Yet, the development of medic ...

Purpose Through this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), and National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) intend to support early-career academic scientists interested in transitioning to entrepreneurship while also supporting the transfer of technology from academic laboratories into small busin ...

This SBIR Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) focuses on the development of e-Learning health and safety training products from a variety of delivery methods to assist both students and instructors in the training and education process. Note that all products must be directly related to the health and safety training of workers exposed to hazardous materials (HAZMAT). Workers that may be expose ...

Background Worldwide prevalence of learning and behavioral disabilities and neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children are on the rise. Associations between chemical exposures during development and neurodevelopmental disorders leading to cognitive and psychiatric outcomes has been reported. Due to concerns that t ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Quantum Science OBJECTIVE: Develop an application-specific photonic integrated circuit to serve a specific quantum system (e.g. Rydberg sensor, clock transition). The device should integrate into and be demonstrated with an already existing quantum sensor. DESCRIPTION: Quantum sensors have demonstrated the ability to surpass classical sensors in areas such ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Biotechnology; Quantum Science The technology within this topic is restricted under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120-130, which controls the export and import of defense-related material and services, including export of sensitive technical data, or the Export Administration Regulation (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730-774, which ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Quantum Science OBJECTIVE: Development of a foundry-compatible, direct growth in a Silicon on insulator (SOI) stack, second-order nonlinear material that can be that can be used for photon conversion and low loss waveguides. DESCRIPTION: Silicon on insulator (SOI) has been a growing standard platform for foundry-scale (300mm) integrated photonics. In that ...

OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Quantum Science OBJECTIVE: This project will demonstrate the operation of a single-axis gravity gradiometer with a noise floor below at approximately 10 Eotvos (or similar performance if already demonstrated) on a moving platform in environments where vibrations, accelerations, rotations, and temperature swings cannot be neglected. DESCRIPTION: Atomic grav ...
