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 NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) Project Grant award to President and Fellows of Harvard College (Harvard University) provides $550,000 in funding from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2026 to develop a minimally-invasive, catheter-based additive manufacturing platform capable of creating customized medical implants directly inside the human body. The project aims to transform the field of medical implants by enabling on-demand fabrication of personalized 3D-printed...
This Project Grant award from the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (CFDA 93.847 - Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research) provides $298,371 to Anova Biomedical, Inc. to develop a new class of biodegradable and elastic vascular grafts for hemodialysis. The funding will be used to refine manufacturing techniques for these grafts, which are designed to closely resemble the mechanical properties of native vasculature and slowly remodel into...
This $325,044 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports research to develop a new "aerodynamic fiber deposition" technology to manufacture biomimetic soft fiber-reinforced composites with spatially varying fiber arrangements. The research aims to enable the production of high-throughput, highly controlled nano/microfiber patterns that mimic the complex fiber structures found in biological tissues like skin, muscle, 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 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 three-year, four hundred thirty-five thousand eight hundred forty-five dollar ($435,845) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems will support Carnegie Mellon University's efforts to advance biom anufacturing of vascularized adipose tissues. Specifically, the university aims to address engineering challenges in producing large, high-density human adipose tissues with integrated, perfusable vascular...

Asante Bio LLC will receive funding to design and engineer a novel 3D microfiber printer capable of assembling synthetic biopolymer filaments into fibrous, flexible implants that promote soft tissue healing. Through this six-month award ending November 2022, Asante Bio will optimize...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Project Grant award under CFDA 47.041 (Engineering) supports the development of a new computational model to predict the complex interactions between ventricular assist devices (VADs) and the beating native heart. The goal is to create a "digital twin" of an experimental mock circulatory loop used for testing VAD safety and efficacy. This $195,291 award, effective August 1, 2024 through July 31, 2026, will result in a lumped parameter model that...
This National Science Foundation (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) Project Grant award provides $305,394 to the University of Houston System to conduct research on capillary-incorporated bioprinting of biomimetic soft tissue constructs. The primary research tasks include: 1) modeling the microtube morphology and permeability, 2) characterizing the effects of material and process parameters on printing quality, and 3) building the process-function relationship of biomimetic constructs. This...
