Cooperative Agreement 2409291

This Cooperative Agreement award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $999,647 to Neurosmart Inc., a woman-owned small business, to develop a technology that trains law enforcement officers for better stress regulation and decision-making in stressful situations. The project aims to: (1) develop and implement brief, effective stress management interventions coupled with algorithms that measure stress regulation; (2) improve machine learning algorithms to predict poor officer performance from physiological and training data; and (3) test the effectiveness of using biofeedback and stress management techniques on officer performance and wellness metrics. Upon completion, this award will result in a scientifically validated stress management training program specifically designed for law enforcement.
