The University of Texas at Tyler received a $583,047 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective April 1, 2026 through March 31, 2031. This award funds the development and validation of an integrated, miniaturized sensor suite capable of real-time, multiparametric monitoring of molecular-level nitrogen dynamics in plants, soils, and water. The project focuses on advancing microneedle-structured, multiplexed electrochemical sensors fabricated from biodegradable and bioresorbable materials to enable sensor recycling and reduce electronic waste. The primary deliverable is a low-cost, environmentally sustainable smart sensing system designed to detect nitrogen deficiency in crops before visible symptoms appear, thereby enabling early intervention and improved nitrogen use efficiency in precision agriculture. The project integrates research activities with educational outreach, engaging K-12 students, undergraduate students, and farmers in hands-on sensor deployment, data analysis, and entrepreneurship training to strengthen workforce development in smart and sustainable agriculture. Field-scale experiments will capture spatiotemporal nitrogen responses across crops to validate the sensor system's effectiveness for timely and precise nitrogen management decisions.Federal Grant Award Summary
