Rowan University received a $200,000 Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems (CFDA 47.041) awarded July 1, 2026, with completion scheduled for June 30, 2028. The project focuses on developing bioactive, biodegradable vascular grafts integrated with piezoelectric stimulation technology to address the failure of existing synthetic small-diameter blood vessel replacements. The engineered grafts will incorporate bioactive metal ions such as magnesium and zinc to support tissue growth, while piezoelectric materials generate electrical signals from natural heartbeat motion to stimulate healthy cell growth along the inner vessel surface and prevent blood clotting. In addition to the core research deliverables, the grant supports significant educational and workforce development components conducted at the Glassboro, New Jersey location. The project includes hands-on research and learning experiences for graduate, undergraduate, and high school students, along with outreach programming designed to introduce students to biomedical engineering and inspire career interest in biotechnology and engineering fields. This integration of research innovation with educational activities aligns with the NSF Engineering program's emphasis on advancing technical innovation while developing a diverse and skilled engineering workforce.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
