Awards Issued Prior to January 20, 2025, Were Funded Under Previous Administrations and May Not Reflect the Priorities and Policies of the Current Administration. Our Research Aims to Automate the BSFL Compostingand Preservation Process Into a Single, Off-grid System, So That It Can Efficiently Produce Preservedlarvae for Farmers Like MR. Plasencia (a Farmer We Interviewed), Helping Him Save His Valuable Time, Keeping the Larvae Outof MRS. PLASENCIA'S Kitchen, and Substantially Reducing the Cost to Feed His Chickens. for Mr.plasencia, the Elegance of the Design Is That It Would Produce the Feed Without Any Input (asidefrom the Initial Compost and Egg Loading), Allowing Him During Particularly Busy Weeks to Ignorethe System Entirely for Prolonged Periods, and Still Find the Full Harvest of Larvae, Preserved Andready for His Chickens When He Has the Time to Check. and Because the System Is Off-grid, He Wouldbe Free to Place the System Anywhere on His Property, Including Far to the Back of His Land Near Thechickens, Without Having to Stretch Expensive and Potentially Hazardous Power Cables That Far.

Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
