The project establishes a mechanics-based framework for Janus layers—materials with distinct chemical compositions on their top and bottom surfaces—and their stacked and curved...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded Northern Arizona University $396,921 on October 1, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop and study the STEM Core Practices Framework, a program-level, practice-based model for undergraduate mathematics and science teacher preparation. The project will create instructional tools and resources including implementation guides, rehearsal protocols, assessment tools, and faculty and mentor teacher...
The National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation awarded Northern Arizona University $336,861 on September 1, 2026, under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to develop a model-based method for estimating sensorimotor states in real time using only haptic data during human-robot physical interaction. The research addresses a fundamental limitation in assistive and neurorehabilitation robotics: current systems cannot easily infer a user's sensorimotor state (muscle activity, nervous system engagement, movement strategy) without costly onboard sensors or large task-specific datasets. The project draws on human-human tactile interaction to develop a new approach enabling robots to infer rich sensorimotor information solely through end-effector forces and motions, reducing sensor requirements and improving affordability and safety in robotic systems designed for physical assistance in healthcare, manufacturing, and domestic settings. Northern Arizona University, a public research institution and Hispanic-Serving Institution headquartered in Flagstaff, Arizona, is the recipient. The award carries a period of performance from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2029, with place of performance at Flagstaff, Arizona. This is a project grant, a common assistance type for NSF research funding. The award is classified as parent, indicating Northern Arizona University holds primary recipient status; Arizona Board of Regents serves as the parent entity in the corporate structure.
