This Project Grant award of $305,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program will support the development of a novel mammalian cell-based nano-biological coating for implantable medical devices at Novaurum Biosciences Incorporated in Somerville, MA. The project aims to address the critical issue of implant-related infections, which cost the U.S. healthcare system over $8.6 billion annually, by creating a biocompatible and...
This Project Grant award of $305,000 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program is focused on developing a new hydrogel elastomer technology for use in medical devices. The goal is to create an intrinsically lubricious elastomer material that can be used as a drop-in alternative for components in intravascular catheters, eliminating the need for costly coating processes. The R&D activities under this SBIR Phase I award aim to...
This Project Grant award, provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program, supports the development of an innovative bioprinting approach for creating vascular grafts that closely mimic the properties of natural blood vessels. The $304,906 award to Seabird Lifesciences LLC, a minority-owned small disadvantaged business located in Milton, MA, aims to overcome limitations of current synthetic and biological vascular...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $275,000 to Orthomechanica, Inc., a small minority-owned business located in Corvallis, OR. The funding supports the design, engineering, and preclinical validation of a novel implantable medical device that aims to improve functional outcomes for over 100,000 patients annually undergoing reconstructive surgery.
