The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded Vanderbilt University Medical Center a $300,000 Project Grant under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program.
The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2021 and concluding on May 31, 2024, will support collaborative research to understand the effects of flow on smooth muscle cells in an arteriole-sized microchannel. Specifically, VUMC will analyze flow conditions and interactions at the microscale level to advance knowledge of circulatory functions. Insights gained from this research could ultimately help improve cardiovascular health. The place of performance for award activities is Nashville, Tennessee.
