The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $223,806 Project Grant under the Integrative Activities (CFDA 47.083) program to the University of Iowa. The grant supports research to use computational modeling and laboratory data to optimize powder compaction parameters and multi-tip tooling design for producing small pharmaceutical tablets efficiently. The goal is to facilitate the use of personalized mini-tablets in healthcare by addressing challenges with multi-tip compaction tooling. The 2-year project will train graduate and undergraduate students, including those from underrepresented groups, to advance this research and its applications across various industries utilizing powder compaction. The award reflects NSF's mission to build research capacity and broaden participation in STEM fields.
