This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF), under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), provides $200,000 to Cleveland State University to investigate scaffold degradation for peripheral nerve regeneration. The goal is to develop better ways to control scaffold degradation in order to more effectively support nerve repair and healing. The research will utilize 3D bioprinting to create scaffolds with precise structures and study how scaffold breakdown affects nerve growth. This work aims to design improved scaffolds that can help patients with nerve injuries. The project will also provide hands-on training for undergraduate and graduate students, strengthening the workforce in biomanufacturing and regenerative medicine, and feature outreach activities for local high school students. The award period is from May 1, 2025 to April 30, 2027.
