- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded Duke University a $640,562 Project Grant through its Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) federal grant program. The funding supports the development of advanced computer models that act as "virtual replicas" of a patient's blood vessels and heart activity to enable more personalized and earlier detection of cardiovascular disease. Specifically, the project will create a computational framework to systematically survey changes...
- The University of California Irvine was awarded a $300,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering under the Office of International Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.079). The grant will support research on electrochemical technologies for a carbon-free economy from May 15, 2021 through April 30, 2024. Specifically, the University will conduct research at its Irvine, California location to develop electrochemical...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $600,000 Project Grant to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) for the "CAREER: EXPLORING X-CHROMOSOME INACTIVATION DYNAMICS IN MYOFIBROBLASTS USING ENGINEERED HYDROGELS" project. This 5-year project aims to improve understanding of how sex chromosomes directly impact sex differences in the progression of aortic valve stenosis, a common heart valve disorder. To accomplish this, the project...
- The University of California Irvine received a $670,000 project grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation. The award is part of NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) and will support research into the "Dynamics and Perceptions of Ultrahazardous Flooding Across the Wildland Urban Interface" from August 2021 through July 2024. The grant funding will enable UC Irvine researchers to study how flooding risks are understood...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $475,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the University of California, Irvine (UC Irvine) to design solid-state nanopore systems whose local pore openings are subjected to controllable fluctuations. The research aims to reproduce the fluctuations of biological channels in model systems to understand transport properties on the nanoscale and harness new transport properties that result from these dynamic systems. The...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) awarded a $115,117 Project Grant to San Diego State University Research Foundation on August 15, 2025. The grant will fund a collaborative research project to study the mechanical behavior of the right ventricle and its impact on cardiac function. The research aims to improve understanding of right ventricle viscoelasticity under acute stress and chronic pulmonary hypertension, which can lead to exercise intolerance and...
- The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees received a five-year, $500,000 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation to support research titled "CAREER: ELUCIDATION OF THE PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES THE GOVERN ENDOTHELIAL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION." The award was issued on March 1, 2021 under the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). Through this funding, researchers at the University of Central Florida's Office of Research will investigate the...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $567,284 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to Purdue University to develop a scalable Bayesian methodology for reconstructing cardiovascular hemodynamic flow fields and cardiac structure from advanced medical imaging modalities like phase-contrast MRI, 4D flow MRI, and color Doppler echocardiography. The research aims to overcome limitations in current imaging techniques, such as inaccurate velocity flow...
The National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering awarded a $345,000 Project Grant to the University of California Irvine for research titled "Collaborative Research: Deciphering the Synergistic Interaction between Hemodynamics and Genetics that Form the Heart." The three-year award, issued on June 1, 2021 with a completion date of May 31, 2024, will fund research into the interaction between blood flow and genetics in heart development. This work aligns with the mission of the NSF Office of International Science and Engineering's CFDA #47.079 program to promote international scientific partnerships and discovery that strengthen the global scientific community and U.S. leadership in science. As the prime awardee, UC Irvine will lead the research effort, with the State of California Controller's Office serving as UC Irvine's parent organization.
