Northwestern University received a $250,000 project grant award from the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory to support research titled "Engineering Bacterial Transcription Factors to Sense Human Performance Biomarkers." The period of performance for this award is from September 30, 2021 through March 31, 2023.
The research is being conducted under the Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800), which aims to maintain Air Force technological superiority through basic scientific research relevant to its needs. Specifically, this award will fund the development of engineered bacterial systems capable of sensing human performance biomarkers, advancing the Program's goals of preventing technological surprise and creating it for potential adversaries. Northwestern University will serve as the primary awardee, conducting the research through its Sponsored Research division.
