[SBIR/STTR Rosters]
SBIR/STTR applications reviewed by the BBBP IRG cover a broad spectrum of research on all aspects of biobehavioral and behavioral processes in normal and disordered populations. Applications are assigned to one of two study sections depending upon the specific focus of the research.
Small Business: Science Education, Communication and Childhood Disorders [BBBP (10)] This small business study section reviews applications having to do with the following topics:
- science education for the non-professional and educational technology,
- speech [including augmentative and alternative communication devices and automated translation devices], deafness, language and reading;
- childhood psychopathology,
- developmental disabilities [mental retardation, autism, learning disabilities, ADHD],
- parenting as related to childhood psychopathology/disabilities, deafness and language/reading disorders.
Small Business: Psychopathology and Adult Disorders [BBBP (11)] This small business study section reviews applications having to do with the following topics:
- adult psychopathology [schizophrenia, depression, anxiety disorders],
- disorders of aging [Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease];
- sleep and neuropsychology;
- cognitive aging, memory and driving simulation;
- co-morbid substance abuse;
- management of emotion in adults [e.g., anger and stress];
- automated analyses of animal behavior related to psychopathology, substance abuse and/or mental disorders.
