The grant supports research to "UTILIZING COMPLEMENTARY PROTEOMIC APPROACHES TO IDENTIFY CONSERVED HOST RESPONSES DURING INFECTION OF EMERGING VIRUSES" with a completion date of February 4, 2030. The University of New Mexico was...
- This Project Grant award, valued at $603,665.00, was provided by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under the "Scientific Research - Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction" (CFDA 12.351) federal grant program. The purpose of the award is to fund research and development efforts to harness DNA molecular recognition to trigger self-immolative dendrimers for fluorescence-based detection of vesicants on surfaces. The key products and services to be delivered under this grant...
- This $550,000 Project Grant award under the Scientific Research - Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction program (CFDA 12.351), funded by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), supports innovative research by Michigan State University (MSU) to develop a hyperspectral imaging pump-probe technique for tracking viruses in vivo without the use of fluorescent reporters. The goal is to establish a novel virus imaging platform, known as BioSonic, that can vastly accelerate the development of...
- The Northwestern University project "Elimination of Chemical Threats via Reactive Metal-Organic Frameworks" received a $100,000 Project Grant award from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency. The grant was awarded on August 23, 2022 under the Scientific Research - Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction program (CFDA 12.351) to support basic, applied, and advanced research efforts that advance understanding of sciences to combat weapons of mass destruction. Specifically, the grant will...
This Project Grant award from the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) under the Scientific Research - Combating Weapons of Mass Destruction (CFDA 12.351) program provides $300,000 to Trustees of Boston University to demonstrate the application of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) methods to augment materials discovery for chemical biological defense protection and hazard mitigation. The key objectives are to establish AI/ML-guided experimentation workflows to synthesize and characterize novel heterogeneous catalyst materials for organophosphate chemical degradation, exploring structure-activity relationships. The expected outcomes include increasing the speed and efficiency of data collection for basic and applied research on next-generation individual protection. The award has a performance period from August 11, 2025 to August 10, 2030 and will produce annual research progress reports.
