NNX13CS04P - RICE IS AN IMPORTANT CROP GLOBALLY THAT INFLUENCES FOOD SECURITY AND THE EARTH SYSTEM. RICE IS THE PREDOMINANT FOOD STAPLE IN MANY REGIONS WITH APPROXIMATELY 700 MILLION TONS OF PRODUCTION ANNUALLY ACROSS THE GLOBE. RICE IS SENSITIVE TO A VARIETY OF DRIVERS THAT CAN ADVERSELY IMPACT PRODUCTION AND EFFICIENCY INCLUDING WEATHER VARIABILITY AND INTER-SEASONAL VOLATILITY, WATER RESOURCES, AND RISK MANAGEMENT DECISIONS (E.G., PESTS). FUTURES ARE A TOOL USED TO MANAGE OR HEDGE RISK, REDUCE VOLATILITY, IMPROVE FOOD SECURITY, AND MAXIMIZE EFFICIENCY AND PROFIT ON THE OPEN MARKET. CURRENTLY, THE RICE FUTURES MARKET HAS LITTLE HIGH QUALITY AND TIMELY INFORMATION AVAILABLE TO MAKE STRATEGIC OR APPLICATION SPECIFIC DECISIONS TO REDUCE RISK AND MAXIMIZE PROFIT. THE GLOBAL RICE FUTURES MARKET IS THINLY TRADED CAUSING EXTREME PRICE FLUCTUATION ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE. THIS INNOVATION GAP HAS CREATED AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD AN OPERATIONAL RICE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM TO SUPPORT THE RICE FUTURES MARKET. THE OVERARCHING GOAL OF THIS NASA PHASE I SBIR IS TO EVALUATE THE FEASIBILITY OF A RICE DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM (RICEDSS) TO SUPPORT GLOBAL FOOD SECURITY AND COMMODITY MARKETS. RICEDSS BRINGS TOGETHER OPERATIONAL REMOTELY SENSED MAPPING OF RICE, CROP PRODUCTION MODELING, AND WEATHER FORECASTS TO SEAMLESSLY GENERATE NEAR REAL TIME INFORMATION ON RICE EXTENT, GROWTH STAGES, YIELD FORECASTS AND STATISTICAL UNCERTAINTY. RICEDSS USES STATE-OF-THE-ART WEB-GIS AND MOBILE TECHNOLOGIES TO SUPPORT VISUALIZATION AND DELIVERY OF INFORMATION TO FUTURES MARKETS AND FOOD SECURITY PROGRAMS.

NNX10AK44G - THIS GRANT WILL SUPPORT THE PLANNING, EXECUTION, AND MANAGEMENT OF AN INNOVATIVE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY IMPLEMENTATION AND SUPPORT PROGRAM THAT FOCUSES ON NASA NEEDS, BUT IS ALSO RESPONSIVE TO THE DUAL-USE OF NASA DERIVED TECHNOLOGIES TO COMMERCIAL OR OTHER MARKET APPLICATIONS (SPINOUT) AS WELL AS THE DEVELOPMENT OF ADVANCE EARLY STAGE COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES IN ADDRESSING NASA'S MISSION NEEDS (SPIN-IN). ADDITIONALLY THE GRANT SUPPORTS THE SERVICES (A) NEEDED TO HELP DEVELOP SMALL TECHNOLOGY-BASED COMPANIES THAT CAN IMPLEMENT ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY-BASED PROJECTS THAT RESPOND TO NASA NEEDS OR OPPORTUNITIES, (B) SERVICES FOR MORE MATURE COMPANIES THAT DEFINE, PLAN AND SUPPORT INTRODUCING THESE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY-BASED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES INTO COMMERCIAL OR OTHER APPLICATIONS AS WELL AS SUPPORT NASA OPPORTUNITIES, AND (C) BROADER RELATED SUPPORT TO NASA STENNIS SPACE CENTER (NASA SSC) ACTIVITIES THAT MAY HAVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IMPACT TO THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. THE GRANT WILL BE LEAD BY THE UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN MISSISSIPPI'S (USM) BUSINESS & INNOVATION ASSISTANCE CENTER (USM/USM/BIAC) WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE MISSISSIPPI ENTERPRISE FOR TECHNOLOGY, INC. (MSET), A STATE SPONSORED 501 C3 FOR WHICH USM SERVES AS ITS FISCAL AGENT- BOTH LOCATED IN BUILDING 1103 AT THE JOHN C. STENNIS SPACE CENTER. THE SCOPE OF THE PARTNERSHIP'S ACTIVITIES INCLUDE (A) PROVIDING OR SUPPORTING THE NEEDED PLANNING, MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS ASSISTANCE TO HELP TECHNOLOGY-BASED SMALL BUSINESSES DEFINE, ORGANIZE AND EXECUTE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT/APPLICATION/COMMERCIALIZATION ENDEAVORS FOR NASA (B) SUPPORTING THE COMMERCIALIZATION (OR OTHER APPLICATION) OF THE PRODUCTS OF KEY NASA ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION/DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS AND (C) SUPPORTING NASA SSC ACTIVITIES THAT MAY HAVE BROADER ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FOR THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. THE USM/BIAC-MSET PARTNERSHIP (PARTNERSHIP) IS AN IN-PLACE, BUT EVOLVING, ACTIVITY THAT (AS NOTED) SEEKS AND PROMOTES SMALL BUSINESS-BASED ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENTS AND IMPLEMENTATION PROJECTS WHOSE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES COULD HAVE BOTH COMMERCIAL (OR OTHER MARKET) AND NASA APPLICATIONS POTENTIAL AS WELL AS SUPPORTS NASA SSC ACTIVITIES WITH BROADER POTENTIAL ECONOMIC IMPACT IN THE STATE. THE PARTNERSHIP SUPPORTS THE PLANNING, MOBILIZATION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND DEMONSTRATION OF THESE TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS BY SMALL MISSISSIPPI COMPANIES. WHEN APPROPRIATE, THE PARTNERSHIP PROPOSES TO SELECT AND EXECUTE SPECIFIC DEVELOPMENTS IN WHICH ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WILL BE DEMONSTRATED THAT SUPPORT NASA MISSIONS, BUT WHICH ALSO APPEAR TO HAVE THE POTENTIAL FOR NEAR TERM OPPORTUNITIES AS PRODUCTS OR SERVICES FOR OTHER MARKETS. ALL FOUR PROJECTS PROPOSED HEREIN TO BE FUNDED ARE ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY-BASED DEMONSTRATION PROJECTS BY SMALL MISSISSIPPI COMPANIES THAT HAVE POTENTIAL NASA APPLICATIONS SUPPORTING BOTH (DUAL-USE) SPIN-IN AND SPINOUT OUTCOMES. IN SUMMARY, AN INTEGRATED TECHNICAL SERVICES SUPPORT PROGRAM IS PROPOSED BY THE PARTNERS THAT: (1) PROVIDES NEEDED SUPPORT TO ASSIST SMALL TECHNOLOGY-BASED MISSISSIPPI COMPANIES AS THEY CONVERT FROM TECHNOLOGISTS TO BUSINESS OPERATIONS AND HELPS THEM TO DEVELOP USEFUL ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY-BASED PRODUCTS OR SERVICES THAT RESPOND TO OR SUPPORT NASA SSC NEEDS AND ALSO TO ANSWER OTHER MARKET OPPORTUNITIES; (2) DEMONSTRATES FOUR SPECIFIC ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY DEVELOPMENT APPLICATIONS THAT HAVE NEAR-TERM NASA APPLICATIONS AND POSSESS NEAR TERM COMMERCIAL MARKET POTENTIAL; AND (3) SUPPORTS NASA SSC ACTIVITIES IN WORKING WITH THE STATE ON EFFORTS THAT HOLD ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL FOR NASA SSC AND THE STATE. THESE EFFORTS CONTINUE THE ONGOING NASA SSC SUPPORT FOR PROMOTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF SMALL, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY-BASED BUSINESS OBJECTIVES WITH APPROPRIATE EXPERTISE AND BUSINESS SERVICES AND SUPPORT FOR BROADER NASA SSC ACTIVITIES WITH POTENTIAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT RESULTS TO THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI.
