Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center received a $600,000 CAREER (Faculty Early Career Development) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031. The award funds the bioengineering and development of a blood-spinal cord barrier-on-a-chip (BSCB-on-a-chip)—a three-dimensional laboratory model that replicates the complex interactions between human spinal cord tissue and blood vessels using advanced stem cell technology and microfluidic engineering tools. The primary deliverable is a physiologically relevant in vitro BSCB assembloid-on-a-chip model that will enable researchers to better understand how the spinal cord barrier develops and functions, while reducing reliance on animal testing for drug screening and evaluation of treatments for neurological disorders such as spinal cord injuries and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). The project includes significant workforce development and outreach components, providing interdisciplinary training in bioengineering and neuroscience for college students and early-career researchers, as well as community engagement programs designed to increase interest in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields among elementary and middle school students, pediatric patients, and their families.Federal Grant Award Summary
