The University of California, San Diego received a $405,002 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation effective April 1, 2021 through March 31, 2026. The award is funded through the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to support the development of an engineered nanosensor to measure in vivo protease activity in traumatic brain injury. The University will utilize the five-year funding period to advance research aimed at creating a nanosensor that can directly monitor protease levels within the brain and provide insight into traumatic brain injury progression and recovery. As the sole sub-awardee organization, the University will conduct all work under the award at its facility located in La Jolla, California. The research aligns with the NSF Engineering program's goals of fostering innovation in engineering to improve quality of life and economic strength.
