Abstract:War fighters face increased risk in the post 9-11 era of expanding terrorist activity and urban military conflicts. The problem is compounded by complex modern urban areas and modern rules of engagement often preclude the use of wide area offensive tactics. Consequently dismounted forces are… more
Abstract:The proposed Phase I SBIR work is focused on development and testing of a continuous process for mixing of binary nanopowders in a micro-mixer system. The main focus will be on safe mixing of aluminum and bismuth trioxide or iron oxide nanopowders in water for their application as percussion… more
Abstract:This STTR Phase I research project will seek to significantly reduce the size and cost of MEMS gyroscopes through improving the internal electrostatic actuators. Specifically, this effort will commercialize Auburn University's patent protected technique for extending the stable range of motion of… more
Abstract:This Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I project will seek to significantly enhance the performance of MEMS gyroscopic sensors through the use of innovative packaging. This effort will be the firs step in the commercialization of a technique for augmenting electrostatic MEMS devices… more
Abstract:This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I research project aims to develop a microbead-based suspension array product for molecular diagnostics (genetic screening) that can make multiplexed measurements in near-real-time without the need for sample amplification and fluorescent labeling… more
Abstract:Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathies are a new class of infectious diseases, as the causative agent appears to be an altered form of a normal cellular protein capable of self-replication. While these diseases originally gained attention as food-borne illnesses, it has become apparent that… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant) A problem exists. The quantity and quality of trained first responders in rural areas is insufficient. EMS first responders in rural areas need better (more accessible, relevant, up-to-date) HAZMAT training that c
onsiders the unique set of variables… more
Abstract:Homeland Security is often compromised by a lack of inter-communications between citizens
and government agencies by either a lack of access or by traditional communications failure
during natural hazard-disasters. Reliable Communications during Rural Disasters addresses
this critical issue. Talus-D… more
Abstract:The ultimate goal of this project is to assist school personnel to better understand the balance between classroom technology needs and system security by creating training modules to address specific areas. The first objective is the development of a survey tool, the Education Security Practices… more
Abstract:The rising incidence of obesity in children in the U.S. contributes to obesity in adulthood. A strong correlation has been described between obesity and chronic diseases. Therefore, the overall goal of our project is to prevent the development of chronic diseases by affecting improved nutrition to… more
Abstract:There is a need for an effective, efficient way to monitor the disease status of production facilities while minimizing the stress caused to an animal by blood sampling and other invasive diagnostic techniques. The purpose of this work is to develop an air sampler and collection media that will… more
Abstract:Develop a videogame for the middle school science classroom. Embedd science concepts into a virtual world where students explore the relationships between them. Ensure that game design creates a virtual world where scientific experimentation can be called ¿play.¿ Wrap the videogame in a… more

There are several categories such as “By Agency”, “By Year”, “By State” etc.
Select a checkbox within a category to refine your search results.
Each of your selections is listed in the “Narrow Search Filters” bar. You can uncheck these selections to remove them.
Search for Either Criteria
When you select multiple values within a category, the results will include values that match either of the selections.
For example, selecting “2005” and “2007” in the “By Year” category will display results that include either 2005 OR 2007 in the results.
Narrowing the Search Results
You can refine your search results across categories. To narrow down your results, select multiple values across different categories. The results will only include values that match the selections across the categories.
For example, selecting “2005” in the “By Year” category and “NASA” in the “By Agency” category will only display the results that contain both “2005” AND “NASA” in the results.
