Grant Award Summary Materialize Bio, Inc. received a $1.25 million Cooperative Agreement from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) awarded on June 15, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2028. The company is developing a next-generation bioengineered tympanostomy tube (ear tube) designed to improve outcomes for one of the most common pediatric surgical procedures performed in the United States, which currently affects approximately one million patients annually. The primary deliverable is an implantable medical device manufactured from natural materials using a scalable three-dimensional manufacturing process that maintains middle ear ventilation while enabling safe, on-demand removal without additional surgery—eliminating the complications, repeat procedures, and repeated anesthesia exposure associated with conventional permanent plastic or metal devices. Beyond the immediate ear tube product, Materialize Bio will establish a scalable manufacturing foundation applicable to additional complex implantable devices made from natural materials, addressing a significant barrier to broader biomedical device commercialization. This work supports U.S. leadership in advanced biomedical manufacturing and sustainable healthcare solutions while reducing clinical burden and healthcare costs. The project advances both near-term commercialization of next-generation ear tubes and positions the company's manufacturing capabilities for expansion into additional medical implant markets.
