The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research awarded the University of Connecticut a $500,000 Project Grant under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300) to develop lightweight, power-efficient, soft electronic sensor systems for next-generation oceanographic measurements from April 6, 2021 to April 5, 2024. Under the award, the University of Connecticut will focus on designing, fabricating, integrating, and testing soft electronic sensors in collaboration with Northwestern University. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory will provide technical input to sensor design, lead system integration efforts, and evaluate sensor prototypes in laboratory and field conditions. Northwestern University will provide technical support, designs, and prototypes of wireless sensors capable of operating at ocean depths. The award supports the development of advanced sensor technologies with potential to improve naval operations through basic and applied research conducted by educational and nonprofit organizations, consistent with the goals of the federal grant program.
