This federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $649,585 to Auburn University to develop an integrated and miniaturized opioid sensor system. The project aims to address the opioid crisis through innovative, cost-efficient, and portable opioid biosensors that can enable real-time, accurate detection and monitoring. The interdisciplinary team is working to deliver solutions for law enforcement, medical treatment, and environmental monitoring applications. Key aspects include creating a novel biosensor technology, utilizing artificial intelligence, and conducting social impact studies. A sub-award of an unspecified amount is planned for Michigan State University to contribute to the project. The expected outcomes include a reduction in opioid-related incidents, increased public awareness, and an enhanced framework for research and policy development addressing the opioid epidemic.
