EPA awards $100,000 Small Business Innovation Research grant to Unearth Technologies Inc. of Seattle
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced $3,089,894 in funding awarded to 30 American small businesses to develop novel technologies that address pressing environmental and public health problems.
¡°As emerging technologies continue to rapidly change the world, our nation¡¯s small businesses are at the forefront of harnessing these technologies to address today¡¯s environmental challenges,¡± said Wayne Cascio, Acting Principal Deputy Assistant Administrator in EPA¡¯s Office of Research and Development. ¡°We are excited to watch these small companies bring innovative ideas to the marketplace and help revolutionize improving our environment, public health, and the economy.¡±
EPA¡¯s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Program runs an annual, two-phase competition for funding. The 30 small businesses awarded today are receiving up to $100,000 of Phase I funding for six months for ¡°proof of concept¡± of their proposed technology. Companies that complete Phase I can then apply to receive Phase II funding of up to $400,000 to further develop and commercialize their technology.
Unearth Technologies Inc. of Seattle is a recipient of SBIR¡¯s Phase I funding for the company¡¯s innovative approach in identifying lead service lines that need critical replacement with their ¡°OnePlace¡± Geospatial Work Management Platform. ¡°Our software makes the process of inventorying, prioritizing, and documenting the replacement of every lead service line easily by providing superior visibility to everyone involved,¡± said Brian Saab, CEO, Unearth Technologies Inc. ¡°We couldn't be more proud to be a partner with the EPA - helping to ensure everyone is able to enjoy safe, clean drinking water.¡±
EPA is one of 11 federal agencies that participate in the SBIR Program, a competitive program that supports small businesses in the development and commercialization of technological solutions. This program stimulates high-tech innovation while encouraging small businesses to meet the country¡¯s research and development needs. SBIR awardees this year are employing innovative approaches like an automated waste sorting system at the point of disposal; a system that employs technology to capture and destroy airborne bacteria and viruses; and a monitoring system that can map methane concentrations and emissions over large areas.
