- This Project Grant award of $506,803, provided by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), will fund research by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York (RF SUNY) to develop advanced multiscale modeling capabilities for predicting thrombus (clot) formation and its response to external loads. The goal is to create computational tools that can better forecast clot growth and rupture under varying blood flow conditions, such as pulsatile...
The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Florida A & M University $450,000 on September 1, 2026, under the HBCU Undergraduate Program Research Initiation Award to develop an AI-powered data framework for probing microscale blood flow. The project runs through August 31, 2029, and is performed in Tallahassee, Florida. The award funds research combining computational modeling, artificial intelligence, and miniature laboratory devices that recreate tiny blood vessels to advance understanding of how blood flows through the body's smallest vessels. The project aims to link observable phenomena in flowing blood to its underlying physical properties, enabling scientists to better understand why blood flow becomes abnormal in diseases such as sickle cell disease and thrombotic microangiopathies. The knowledge generated will lay groundwork for future tools that improve disease assessment, monitor treatment response, and guide development of new therapies. The Research Initiation Award supports junior and mid-career faculty at historically black colleges and universities who are building new research programs or redirecting existing ones. The award will advance the faculty member's research capability and effectiveness and improve research and teaching at the home institution. The project will also provide interdisciplinary research and training opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students at the intersection of engineering, biology, computation, and medicine.
