Projects
NeuroVisions: Teaching neuroscience with neuroimaging data is a Phase II Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) project funded by the National Institute for Mental Health (Grant Number 2R44MH070250-02). SBIR grants are provided to small businesses such as Science Approach so that they may conduct research and development to create products that are commercialized and sold to the public. For NeuroVisions, Science Approach will create six online course modules to supplement curricula used in undergraduate neuroscience, psychology, and biology courses and serve as replacement units for course laboratories. Short- and long-term subscriptions to the online modules will be sold to students, faculty, colleges, and universities around the world. 
VISION (Volumetric Imaging for Science Instruction of an Open Nature) was a Phase I Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) project funded by the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health & Human Development (EKSNICHHD) Grant Number NIH/NICHD 1 R41 HD049973-01.
