Project Grant 2138719

The University of Texas at San Antonio received a two-year, $332,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041). The grant funds research toward understanding the effect of brain sex variations on biomechanics related to traumatic brain injury. Specifically, the University will conduct research from February 2022 to January 2024 to improve knowledge of how differences between male and female brains may influence brain responses to impacts and injuries. As the prime awardee, the University of Texas at San Antonio will lead the research efforts, utilizing $332K in NSF funding over the two-year period to further the goals of the Engineering program in fostering innovation in engineering research.
