Abstract:Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a devastating condition for which there is no effective treatment. The cost to society is enormous because most new cases occur in people under the age of 30 and these individuals have a near normal life expectancy. Therefore, the development of a new, effective therapy… more

Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Verbatim from the Applicant's Abstract): More than 15 million
patients in the US alone suffer from recalcitrant non-healing wounds with an
estimated expenditure of greater than $10 billion in treatment costs. The
demographic shift in longevity will mean an… more
Abstract:The proposed innovation is a new computational and analytical structural acoustic technique for aircraft interior noise prediction. Its innovative quality resides in the unifying theory by which conventional finite element analysis (FEA) and statistical energy analysis (SEA) are related through the… more
Abstract:A six-month Phase I project is proposed to demonstrate the feasibility of a hierarchical method for more accurately estimating the material parameters of constitutive models in DYNA3D, thereby enhancing the fidelity of nonlinear finite element models. Thehierarchical approach combines the distinct… more
Abstract:A 24-month Phase II project is proposed to develop and implement models that capture the fidelity of high fidelity physics-based (HFPB) models in a fast-running format. It is anticipated that such models will be incorporated in certain modules of theModular Effectiveness/Vulnerability Assessment… more

Abstract:Vibration reduction will be an important contributor to the success of future earth observing platforms. Unwanted motion in the micrometer to nanometer range must be prevented from interfering with components requiring precise alignment and pointing such as telescopes and interferometers. Active… more
Abstract:Active Control eXperts (ACX), Inc. proposes a Phase I research and development effort for the development, conceptual design, and proof-of-concept experiment of a hybrid active/passive sound attenuation system for aircraft interiors. While the attenuation of structural vibration and structure-borne… more

Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Applicant's abstract): Peptide nucleic acids (PNAs) have a number
of features that suggest they would be ideal probes for purifying mRNA. In this
revised format we have demonstrated the use of phosphono PNAs (pPNAs) in an RNA
isolation procedure that improves the… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (Applicant's abstract): In this application we will discuss the
rationale for the development of a novel method for chemically tagging a
synthetic oligonucleotide to the 5'-end of full-length mRNAs using the cap
structure (7-methyl guanosine triphosphate,… more
Abstract:In this proposal we discuss the development of a technique to amplify the signal generated
when a labeled chimeric oligonucleotide hybridizes to it target sequence. Clearly there is
a huge need for such a technique given the amount of variability that occurs during
triditional amplification… more
Abstract:DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall experimental approach of this
proposal is targeted to design an innovative format for arraying proteins.
Instead of using the common glass slide or nitrocellulose membrane to spot
proteins onto, we proposed to use a silica… more

Technologies, in partnership with the Brain Attack Team of the University of
Maryland Medical Center, proposes to develop a novel portable, non-invasive
system that will enable rapid identification… more
Abstract:Active Signal Technologies proposes to further develop its self applied, electrodeless home monitoring device for sleep apnea with the ultimate goal of making clinical diagnosis available to a much larger population of sleep disorder patients than currently possible. Preliminary results from Phase I… 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.
