This federal Project Grant award from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering under the Discovery and Applied Research for Technological Innovations to Improve Human Health (CFDA 93.286) program provides $487,350 to Tufts University to develop innovative paper-based microsampling devices. The goal is to create stable and metered samples of dried blood and plasma that can be easily self-collected by patients and transported to clinical laboratories for testing, enabling greater access to routine diagnostic tests, particularly for individuals in remote or underserved areas. The 4-year project aims to close the gap between current laboratory testing capabilities and patient needs by supporting telemedicine and reducing global healthcare disparities through the advancement of patient-centric microsampling technologies.
