- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $400,000 Project Grant under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) to advance the understanding of how new blood vessels grow in the body. This 3-year project aims to develop data-driven models that integrate high-fidelity biophysical simulation with high-resolution imaging of real blood vessel networks undergoing growth and adaptation. The research will elucidate the fluid dynamics and biophysics...
- The University of California, Davis received a $439,105 federal Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop new models and simulations to characterize the collective hydrodynamic behavior of microscopic particles embedded in viscous interfaces. The goal is to establish a rigorous platform to understand and engineer complex membrane-like assemblies, which has applications in areas like drug delivery, respiratory health, and cell biology. The...
- Federal Grant Award Summary The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Office of the Director awarded Stanford University $154,000 under the Trans-NIH Research Support program (CFDA 93.310) on August 15, 2025, to provide research software engineering support for SimVascular, an open-source software platform for patient-specific simulations of blood flow and tissue biomechanics in cardiovascular disease research. The three-year project, led by Dr. David Parker at Stanford's Marsden Lab, will deliver...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award of $342,318 supports research at the University of Wisconsin - Madison to develop a novel theoretical and computational framework for modeling the mechanical deformation and interactions of biomembranes with transport and electrochemical processes. The 3-year research project, starting on Sep 1, 2024, aims to create an open-source computational tool to model key biomembrane phenomena like endocytosis,...
- This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) supports the development of a new computational model to predict the complex interactions between ventricular assist devices (VADs) and the beating native heart. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of an experimental mock circulatory loop used for testing VAD safety and efficacy. This $195,291 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will result in a lumped parameter model that...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CBET) project grant award provides $598,884 over 4 years to The Regents of the University of California, doing business as the University of California, Berkeley, to develop a novel suite of simulation tools for modeling vascular biomechanics and mechanobiology as part of the open-source SimVascular software platform (CFDA No. 47.041 Engineering). The project aims to enhance SimVascular to link blood flow and tissue biomechanics with multi-scale models of mechanobiology, enabling the research community to study long-term adaptations of the cardiovascular system important for understanding disease progression. The project will also provide educational and training materials and maintain a sustainable software ecosystem to support continued adoption and evolution of the SimVascular platform.
