The University of Maryland Baltimore County received a $121,578 CAREER (NSF Faculty Early-Career Development Program) award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Electrical, Communications and Cyber Systems under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), with an award date of October 1, 2025 and completion date of January 31, 2026. This project grant supports fundamental research and development of an all-acoustic, image-guided implantable microscopic ultrasound neuromodulation system designed to advance neural interface technology. The research addresses critical limitations in current neuromodulation approaches by combining minimally invasive implantable ultrasound technology with microscopic spatial resolution (hundreds of micrometers and below) and large-scale brain coverage, initially for animal studies with anticipated translational applications for treating neurological and psychiatric disorders in humans. The award deliverables include scientific research outputs advancing ultrasound-based neuromodulation technology, documentation of microscopic-resolution neural interface capabilities, and integrated educational and outreach components structured around a troubleshooting and inquiry-based learning framework. These educational initiatives are designed to enhance student learning of research principles and technical skills across multiple education levels, leveraging the multidisciplinary nature of the research to develop future workforce capabilities in neurotechnology and biomedical engineering.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
