Federal Project Grant Award Summary Arizona State University, through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration, received a $575,942 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded July 1, 2026, with completion targeted for June 30, 2031. This CAREER award funds development of an automated full-duplex radiofrequency (RF) platform technology designed to significantly reduce the size and power requirements of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) systems. The research deliverables include: (1) a rigorous system-level modeling and optimization framework to predict simultaneous-transmit-and-receive (STAR) RF front-end performance under dynamic human-body loading conditions; (2) a multi-channel, load-insensitive, fully automated STAR RF platform incorporating adaptive cancellation and automatic impedance matching to address fundamental RF transmit-receive isolation performance limitations; and (3) dissemination of research findings and open-source design tools through publications and industry collaborations to accelerate adoption of low-cost MRI technologies. Beyond core research deliverables, the project integrates substantial educational and outreach components, including curriculum development in RF and biomedical engineering, K-12 demonstration activities utilizing a DIY MRI scanner model, and workforce training initiatives. The ultimate objective is to produce portable and affordable MRI scanning systems that expand diagnostic imaging access to underserved populations and resource-limited healthcare settings, thereby improving diagnostic capabilities, reducing healthcare costs, and enhancing patient outcomes at the national level.
