The grant was awarded on February 1, 2023 under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300), with a completion date of January 31, 2024. The program supports research with potential to improve naval...

Infusense Corporation was awarded a $253,590 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on August 15, 2021 to develop a point-of-care electrochemical platform for the rapid detection of drug toxicity. The project is being conducted under the NSF's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), which aims to improve quality of life and economic strength through engineering research and innovation. Specifically, Infusense will leverage the one-year funding period ending July 31, 2022 to create a...

The Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research awarded a $300,000 Project Grant under the Basic and Applied Scientific Research program (CFDA 12.300) to the University of Connecticut for the period of September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The grant funds the development of a novel wearable epifluidic device to capture sweat from subjects during underwater diving in order to quantify biomarkers indicative of hydration, cognitive, and physical stress. Sweat...

This $622,016 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's Geosciences Program (CFDA 47.050) supports the collaborative development of a novel self-powered, multimodal pH, pressure, and temperature MEMS sensor system for marine carbon dioxide removal (MCDR) monitoring. The project involves researchers from the University of North Texas, University of Michigan, and University of California San Diego working to design, fabricate, and test this innovative sensor array to provide...
