This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $274,946 to Free To Feed, Inc. to develop a real-time, at-home allergen detection test for human milk. The goal is to provide a rapid and cost-effective solution to determine the allergen content of human milk, addressing the issue that up to 25% of infants have reported allergic responses to proteins found in breast milk, which can lead to termination of breastfeeding. This project lays the groundwork for researching early and frequent allergen introduction through human milk, which has been shown to be an effective allergy reduction strategy. The company's patent-pending lateral flow technology aims to enable users to quickly and easily detect the presence of non-human protein fragments that can elicit allergic responses. This award runs from August 1, 2023, to July 31, 2024.
