The National Science Foundation (NSF), Division of Materials Research, awarded a three-year Project Grant totaling $193,165 to Texas A&M Engineering Experiment Station (awarded August 1, 2026, with completion targeted for July 31, 2029) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049). This collaborative research initiative, involving Syracuse University, Clarkson University, and Texas A&M University, develops shape-memory polymers embedded with force-sensing molecules that detect and report mechanical forces in real time across multiple scales—from single molecules to entire material structures. The polymers change color proportionally to experienced forces, enabling continuous force monitoring throughout materials and at biomaterial-cell interfaces. The primary deliverables include real-time force monitoring tools applicable to manufacturing and healthcare environments, research platforms for studying cellular mechanosensing and mechanical response mechanisms, and new sensor technologies for disease treatment and wound healing applications. The project advances NSF priorities in biotechnology, materials research, and advanced manufacturing while supporting national health and economic objectives. Additionally, the award includes workforce development components that expand an annual workshop series into rural regions of New York State and Texas to strengthen the American Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) workforce.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
