- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $305,000 SBIR Phase I Project Grant to Giant Biosystems Inc. on March 1, 2025. The project aims to develop a rapid, point-of-care antimicrobial susceptibility testing (AST) kit that can provide results on the same day a sample is taken. This is expected to help physicians utilize the most effective antibiotics sooner, reducing antimicrobial resistance and associated economic burdens. The proposed microfluidic platform is designed to generate...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $257,697 Project Grant to The Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to conduct collaborative research on engineering selective membranes from lipid-polyelectrolyte complexes. This 4-year project, which began on October 1, 2025, aims to harness biology-like performance and the chemical versatility of synthetic polymers to develop high-precision membranes for applications such as water...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) has awarded a $550,000 project grant to the University of California, Berkeley to develop a miniaturized, sensitive, and user-friendly biosensing platform for rapid bacterial infection diagnostics. The award, effective April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2030, aims to create an integrated circuit (IC) chip and microfluidic system that combines physics-based dielectric spectroscopy and biochemistry-based magnetic nanoparticle...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $934,613 project grant to Princeton University on July 1, 2021, with a completion date of June 30, 2024. The grant supports research under the Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to study quorum sensing control of bacterial biofilm formation and dispersal. The funding will allow Princeton University researchers to advance scientific understanding of how bacteria communicate to form biofilms and disperse, with the goal of gaining fundamental...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems awarded a $420,000 Project Grant to Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey under CFDA 47.041 Engineering. The grant will fund the development of a biomedical platform that leverages portable fluorescence microscopy, microfluidics, and machine learning to rapidly and accurately monitor surgical inflammation biomarkers in patients. This platform aims to provide an early indication of surgical...
The Research Foundation For The State University Of New York (SUNY at Binghamton) was awarded a $370,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop rapid assessment methods for antibiotic effectiveness against pathogenic biofilms. The three-year grant, awarded June 1, 2021 under the NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will support research to improve techniques for quickly determining how well antibiotics work to treat biofilm-based infections. The NSF Directorate for Engineering seeks innovations in engineering research and education to enhance economic strength and quality of life. This project aims to advance such goals by exploring new testing approaches that could help clinicians select optimal antibiotic therapies for biofilm infections, which can be difficult to treat and assess using standard methods.
