This $100,000 National Science Foundation Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships grant funds the development of tunable porosity aerogel for wound care dressings at The University of Akron from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023. The project aims to create a novel bio-based aerogel dressing that could help heal patients with chronic wounds faster by requiring fewer dressing changes. Aerogels' high porosity, surface area and moisture balance properties may create an incubator-like wound healing...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (TIP) program (CFDA 47.084) provides $305,000 to LF Printech LLC, a minority-owned and woman-owned small business, to develop a novel bioactive hydrogel dressing with a porous surface for the treatment of second-degree burn wounds. The key objectives are to fabricate 3D-printed dressings in various sizes, shapes, and pore designs, evaluate their mechanical stability and pull-off...
This $100,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships program will support the development of an advanced wound care technology at Florida International University. Specifically, the university will create a bandage-integrated platform that provides feedback-mediated wound therapy to enable personalized care. The conformable platform is designed to non-invasively monitor multiple wound biomarkers in spatial detail and then apply targeted...
This Project Grant award of $305,000 from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports the development of an advanced wound care product for treating diabetic foot ulcers. The product utilizes a patented microneedle patch design to deliver three therapeutic agents that disinfect the wound, prevent bacterial biofilm formation, and activate the immune system to promote healing. Initial work will be conducted using skin tissue...
This $250,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a microneedle-mediated adaptive phototherapy wound dressing by the University of South Florida from October 1, 2022 to November 30, 2024. The dressing integrates self-diagnosis and treatment tailored to wound conditions without external electronics or medical professionals. Microstructured microneedles act as optical waveguides to deliver localized blue or red light therapy at wound sites, changing wavelength...
This $100,000 National Science Foundation project grant supports the development of a novel multi-wavelength spectroscopy technique and portable analyzer to assess tissue health at Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station in College Station, Texas. The goal is to prevent pressure injuries through early detection by evaluating tissue oxygenation and blood perfusion beneath the skin's surface, which could help hospitals decrease injury rates and costs. The proposed technology may identify...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award of $305,000 to Novaurum Biosciences Incorporated supports the development of a novel mammalian cell-based nano-biological coating for implantable medical devices. The project aims to address the critical health and economic burden associated with implant-related infections by creating a biocompatible and antimicrobial coating to inhibit biofilm formation and protect against all types...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Cooperative Agreement award under the NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program provides $1,250,000 in funding to Biodevek Inc., a Boston-based small business, to develop a novel sprayable hydrogel sealant for managing gastrointestinal (GI) lesions and bleeding. The project aims to create a minimally invasive, bio-adhesive hydrogel solution that can provide sustained lesion protection and hemostasis, potentially reducing...
