The Pennsylvania State University received a $164,400 Project Grant from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences (NCATS), CFDA 93.350, awarded June 1, 2026, with completion targeted for May 31, 2028. The grant supports development and validation of the WEAR-IT research platform, a smartphone-based mobile health application designed to reduce barriers to research participation among rural populations. The platform leverages edge-of-cloud computing architecture to enable real-time data processing and personalized intervention delivery on-device when internet connectivity is unavailable, with automatic data upload to cloud infrastructure for computationally intensive processing when connectivity becomes available. This technology addresses documented health disparities between rural and urban communities by eliminating participation barriers related to travel costs, limited internet connectivity, and socio-cultural concerns while enabling researchers to collect complex clinical data through multi-modal ecological momentary assessment in participants' homes. The WEAR-IT platform directly supports NCATS's "More Treatments for All People More Quickly" initiative by creating a scalable research tool capable of reaching underserved rural populations in translational research and clinical trials. Leveraging the approximately 90 percent smartphone ownership rate in rural areas, the platform is designed to accommodate the unique technological and geographic constraints of rural research participation while maintaining data security and participant anonymity—key barriers previously limiting rural engagement in clinical and translational science research.Federal Grant Award Summary
