Project Grant N000142612154

The Florida Institute For Human & Machine Cognition Inc. (IHMC) received a $350,000 project grant from the Office of Naval Research under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), effective February 1, 2026 through January 31, 2029. The award funds the "Diver Health Hub for Operational Monitoring and Situational Awareness (H2O)" initiative, which will be performed in Florida. Under this three-year project grant, IHMC will develop advanced research and...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering awarded the University of Pittsburgh a 3-year, $350,000 Project Grant to develop an innovative closed-loop brain-computer interface (BCI) system for use in exposure therapy for socially fearful teenagers with depression and anxiety. The proposed technology synchronizes electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring with augmented reality (AR) simulations of social fear scenarios, enabling real-time detection of fearful responses and...

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Biological Sciences program provides $643,665 to the National Marine Mammal Foundation, Inc. to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The 4-year project, beginning December 1, 2023, will evaluate and model in vivo oxygen delivery during dive simulations with California sea lions and bottlenose dolphins. It will also elucidate the biochemical mechanisms regulating red blood cell oxygen...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Integrative Activities awarded a $154,395 Project Grant to the San Diego State University (SDSU) Research Foundation to acquire electroencephalography (EEG) and eye tracking equipment for a co-registration system. This major research instrument will enable simultaneous measurement of brain activity and eye movements during reading and visual tasks with millisecond precision. The co-registration system will advance the understanding of cognitive...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $1,363,205 Project Grant under its Biological Sciences program (CFDA 47.074) to the University of California, San Diego (UCSD) to conduct collaborative research on oxygen transport mechanisms in elite diving mammals. The project aims to investigate differences in how oxygen is delivered to skeletal muscles in pinnipeds (e.g., sea lions) versus cetaceans (e.g., dolphins) during long-duration dives. The research team will evaluate in vivo oxygen...

Federal Grant Award Summary Advanced Brain Monitoring, Inc. received a $325,672 Project Grant award from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases under the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.855) effective September 16, 2025, with a completion date of May 31, 2027. The grant funds development and validation of a novel mobile electroencephalography (EEG) platform designed to objectively assess neurocognitive deficits associated with post-acute sequelae of...

This two-year, $200,000 project grant from the National Science Foundation's Computer and Information Science and Engineering program (CFDA 47.070) will support the development of interpretable deep learning methods and software for automated sleep phenotyping using multimodal health sensing data. Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center will leverage polyssomnography data and novel radio frequency sensing techniques to build accurate deep learning models for classifying sleep stages and apnea...

This three-year, $551,413 National Science Foundation project grant supports research into the origin of large brains in cetaceans. Funded under the Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), the award to Northeast Ohio Medical University will analyze fossil collections to identify factors contributing to brain size expansion in early whales. Researchers will test the hypothesis that the acquisition of echolocation led to increases in brain size by studying changes in ear shape over time. They will also...

This National Science Foundation (NSF) Major Research Instrumentation award of $413,282 provides Northern Michigan University (NMU) with a high-density electroencephalogram (HD-EEG) system integrated with high-density transcranial electric stimulation (HD-TES) neuromodulation capabilities and time-locked dual acquisition functionality. This advanced neuroimaging instrumentation will support collaborative research projects across neuroscience, psychology, and behavioral science fields. The...

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems awarded a $150,000 Project Grant to Northeastern University to develop a precision closed-loop brain-computer interface (BCI) system for assessing and rehabilitating social fears in teens with depression and anxiety. The project aims to create augmented reality (AR) technology that can simulate real-life social situations and use electroencephalogram (EEG) data to detect and respond...
