- The National Science Foundation awarded a $118,212 Project Grant to the University of Delaware under the Integrative Activities (IA) program (CFDA 47.083) to conduct fundamental research on the extreme mechanics of the human brain. The research combines high-rate mechanical testing, analytical and computational modeling, and machine learning to generate insights into how the living human brain responds to large and rapid loading. This work will contribute to the fields of tissue mechanics,...
The National Science Foundation Office of Integrative Activities awarded the University of Connecticut $603,343 on August 15, 2026, to acquire an ultra-low field portable magnetic resonance imaging scanner (Hyperfine SWOOP) for brain imaging research. The scanner is an FDA-cleared device that connects to a standard wall outlet, requires no special shielding, and can be transported via mobile research laboratory to schools, community centers, clinics, and regional university campuses. By bringing brain imaging directly to research participants, the instrument expands access to neuroscience research beyond specialized hospitals and university labs, enabling data collection from populations historically underrepresented in neuroimaging studies and from individuals with contraindications for conventional high-field MRI. A multidisciplinary team of faculty spanning neuroscience, speech and language sciences, kinesiology, psychology, and psychiatry will deploy the scanner to address research questions related to cognition, behavior, and health. The instrument supports research training for graduate students, undergraduates, and early-career scientists across partner institutions and geographic communities. Research activities employ machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques for data analysis. The instrument is housed at the University of Connecticut's Storrs, Connecticut campus and transported to field collection sites. The award runs through July 31, 2029. Assistance Type: Project Grant. The Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) enhances the competitiveness of the nation's research through activities that build capacity for science and engineering and broaden participation in research and education.
