The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to enable the provision of high quality vector surveillance data to public health institutions domestically and internationally. Vectors, or organisms that transmit diseases to other organisms, like mosquitoes and ticks, have a significant impact on human health and agriculture, with associated mortality and m ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is improving the surgical outcome for patients undergoing neuro-endovascular interventions for the treatment of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). IAs affect 6% of the population and IA rupture results in lethal hemorrhagic strokes, which account for ~25% of cerebrovascular deaths despite improvements in management. M ...

The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project supports the development of robotic solutions for unloading non-palletized packages of different shapes and sizes in logistics and similar industries.This technology may provide workers with more skilled jobs that remove the need for physically strenuous labor in unhealthy environments. The project see ...

This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project produces compact optical frequency standards using state-of-the-art optical frequency metrology techniques adopted from national metrology institutes. Commercially, these devices will produce fundamentally accurate and stable optical frequencies in the form of laser light. End uses of these optical frequency standards include telecomm ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the development of a commercially-ready cell engineering platform that will enable a curative therapy for cancer in the veterinary market.An estimated 250,000 dogs get B cell lymphoma every year. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cell therapy offers hope for a treatment for this disease. The project platform f ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to improve access to vision care and eyeglasses for all Americans through a self-serve, rapid vision exam kiosk for retail stores and public spaces. An estimated 175 million Americans suffer from blurry vision, of which 30 million live without eyeglasses. By partnering with retailers, phar ...

The broader impact/commercial potential of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project aims to further develop HealthText, an artificial intelligence (AI) driven digital health information and navigation platform tailored to support the Medicaid population. The project's broader impact lies in its potential to address health disparities in under-resourced communities by providi ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to improve space exploration over the next two decades. New space missions are being planned and executed at an increasing rate by countries and companies around the world. A novel space ecosystem is developing, especially with respect to the Moon. Over 30 lunar missions are planned for the next 10 years. The ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase II project is the advancement of sustainable and ethically produced meat alternatives. Most people have tried or know someone who has tried plant-based meats. Opinions vary but most people acknowledge that meats made from animals are not accurately recreated using plants, especially for unprocessed whole cuts like chicken b ...

The broader impact of this Small Business Research (SBIR) Phase II project is to reduce methane production in the ruminant livestock industry via the commercial production of Asparagopsis taxiformis for inclusion in cattle feed. There are currently 1.5 billion head of cattle on earth, which contribute significantly to greenhouse emissions via methane release during growth. It has been demonstrated ...
